‘SNL’ pokes fun at Chinese spy balloon debacle during show’s cold open

After government officials shot down a suspect Chinese spy balloon, "Saturday Night Live" took its own shots at news coverage surrounding the event.

In the show's cold open, Chloe Fineman starred as MSNBC host Katy Tur interviewing the floating, and indignant, spy balloon itself (Bowen Yang).

"Well, I’m sorry you are in the water, but thank you for speaking to us," Tur said to the balloon.

The balloon tells Tur, "You got me. Congrats, you shot a balloon."

"I entertain you people for four days but then get shot down by Biden! I can’t believe I’m Joe’s Osama," the balloon added.

    1. Lol guess you didnt know that trump allowed at least 3 known chinese spy balloons to violate US airspace and did absolutely nothing during his administration
      ..republican presidents tend to be more chummy with foreign dictators than democratic ones, look at history – trump(russia), bush(saudi Arabia), reagan(china/middleeast), nixon(china) all of them had nice foreign affairs from their shady business dealings before their presidency💁
      ..democrat presidents tend to have horrible foreign affairs because they tend to focus on domestic interest first – LBJ(social security), Carter(agriculture&peacetalks), Clinton(section8housing), obama(healthcare)..you might be living in a facade if you really think this president is any different from the last, theyre all puppets.

  1. That show still exists?
    And something tells me that skit would be called “racist” if it were done on another channel like FOX lol

    1. @HansDelbruck53 Actual News isn’t supposed to be humorous. It’s supposed to be informative, unbiased, and to the point. FOX NEWS is the only one that comes close. SKY NEWS Australia gives more news than any American msm outlet, sadly.

    2. @Jeff B856 I’m glad you didn’t say “fair and balanced”. Rupert Murdoch is about as fair and balanced as Attila the Hun. The BBC ain’t bad.

  2. Nice video, I really appreciate your clear and simple breakdown on financial pitfalls! I lost so much on Crypto’s, but now making around $9000-$12000 every week trading different on stocks and Cryptocurrencies…

    1. @Nikki Robinson This is the kind of information that we don’t get from most Youtubers I will get in touch with him right now

  3. Biden: that’s not chinese spy ballon… that is my son condom left behind at china, chinese just returning back to me.

  4. My friends and I have been at this beach all day today collecting pieces and sensors from the surveillance equipment that have washed up. Nobody is stopping us. Hilarious. Once we get most of it, we’ll just send it back to Beijing. How ya like ’em apples, american lard? LOL!

    1. Freight is not cheap these day, remember that you are shipping pieces with a combined size of 3 buses. I shipped something with a size of a soap cost me a hundred something dollar.

  5. “Ahhhh don’t we all remember when SNL was actually funny? SNL has been a disgrace to what comedy actually is……”

    1. I tried watching it last night. It was hard to figure out if it was supposed to be funny, or I have no idea. Every skit was just terrible. There were a couple funny jokes on the weekly news update.
      But I’m sure the only reason for that is because the two actors actually write the material. The rest of the show was just terrible
