It was bound to happen. When āSaturday Night Liveā hit the stage Saturday night, its focus was on Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala.
Britt have the GOPās response to President Joe Bidenās State of the Union address Thursday night.
The 42-year-old senator gave an impassioned speech from her kitchen. Many Republicans and Democrats alike questioned her delivery likening it to an audition for a school play, the IJR previously reported.
She called Biden a ādithering and diminished leaderā and said āAmericans are fearful about record immigration and anxious about the state of the economy,ā according to NPR.
But as the NPR reported, actress Scarlett Johansson took to the stage on the sketch comedy show where she did a parady of Britt.
āI have the honor of serving the great people of Alabama, but tonight Iāll be auditioning for the part of scary mom,ā Johansson said. āAnd Iāll be performing an original monologue called: This Country is Hell.ā
Johansson mimicked Brittās tone of voice in a spot-on imitation.
āKitchens are where families have the hard conversations, like the one weāll have tomorrow about how mommy freaked out the entire country,ā she said.
The task of giving the response to the SOTU can either bring glory or shame to whomever is giving it.
āIn 2009, political analysts panned former Louisiana governor Bobby Jindalās reply to President Obamaās first State of the Union address,ā according to NPR.
But others who have given the rebuttal ā former Arkansas GovernorĀ Bill ClintonĀ and former Delaware Sen.Ā Joe Biden ā ended up doing the SOTU themselves when they became president.
Johansson is married to Colin Jost, co-anchor of Weekend UpdateĀ at āSNL.ā
