SNL Skewers Chris Christie and Bridge-Gate in Fake ‘Piers Morgan’ Interview

‘SNL’ takes shots at Chris Christie, A-Rod and Justin Bieber for ‘scandals’ (Red Alert Politics)

This week, Saturday Night Live tackled the biggest controversies during its month-long holiday hiatus, taking shots at Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.), New York Yankees player Alex Rodriguez and pop star Justin Bieber during the hysterical cold open.

In the spoof of CNN’s Piers Morgan Live, SNL first criticized Morgan’s lack of journalistic integrity.

“My name is Piers Morgan, and what I lack in journalistic integrity — ” actor Taran Killam said, leaving the sentence unfinished while moving on to the next topic.

The faux Morgan went on to discuss the well-known figures accused of misleading the American public. The first of these was Christie and the Bridgegate debacle. The Governor, played by Bobby Moynihan, apologized for the whole incident — but then got slightly heated over the continued media attention.

“It’s over, so shut up!” he said in a very New Jersey tone.
