Rep. Greene (GA-R) - played by Cecily Strong - was the first guest to appear on the show, excited to hand McKinnon a gun and offer up the number of conspiracy theories she believes in
Rep. Greene (GA-R) - played by Cecily Strong - was the first guest to appear on the show, excited to hand McKinnon a gun and offer up the number of conspiracy theories she believes in.
'First off, I believe the Parkland shooting was a hoax. The teachers were actors and the children were dolls,' Greene asserted in the skit. 'I believe 9/11 was a hoax, did anyone actually see it happen. I've also told my supporters that they should physically murder Nancy Pelosi, she is this lady I work with now.'
Greene then shared the newest theory that she believed. 'I think that the California wildfire were started by Jewish space lasers.
The controversial politician then relished in her new role on the House Education and Labor Committee, prompting McKinnon to declare that the government was still broken.
McKinnon's next guest was Pete Davidson as Derrick 'Boner' Evans, the new majority shareholder of GameStop.

While the new wealthy investor expressed his excitement at his luck on Wall Street, it soon became clear that Derrick wasn't that well versed in the actual stock market.
When asking the burgeoning stock owner who else invested in GameStop, Derrick emphatically declared rapper 'Ja Rule.' Clearly the stock market was designated as no longer working by McKinnon.
Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter's Jack Dorsey were the next guest, with Zuckerberg exclaiming that the platform was still working because 'not only does it help people form communities online, it has helped people meet and connect in real life.'
'For example, at the Capitol,' Zuckerberg - played by Alef Moffat - added.

When Dorsey, played by Mikey Day, asked if his chin beard was working for the host, McKinnon asserted that it was helping her stay a 'lesbian.' Social media was quickly declared as not working as well.
McKinnon then moved on to the vaccine rollout, bringing out Kenan Thompson as O.J. Simpson - sporting an ankle monitor. The controversial football player recently made headlines after getting the vaccine.
McKinnon noted that O.J. was able to get the vaccine along with three percent of Americans but teachers and people with long term health conditions hadn't been able to yet. The vaccine was dubbed as not working, obviously.

Trump pal and Buccaneer coach Tom Brady was the last guest appear on the brief show. Played by Krasinki, Brady was praised for taking 'one of the worst franchises in football' to the SuperBowl for his 10th time there at 43-years-old.
But even though he still worked by McKinnon's standards, Brady noted that almost 'no one' was rooting for him.
'It's not like you're a weird Trump guy or anything, right?' McKinnon asked, prompting Brady to quickly exit the stage as he thanked the 'host' for having him.
