Saturday Night Live cast members Ashley Padilla and Andrew Dismukes joined the NBC show’s Weekend Update segment recently to play the role of “Two People Who Just Hooked Up.” According to Padilla and Dismukes’s characters, Republicans and Democrats need to do the same to end the government shutdown. While a sex-themed bit about ending the government shutdown would have just been odd, SNL felt the need to go even further and make Republicans the woman in the scenario, which led to multiple double entendres about GOP women’s sex lives and philosophical views about the size of government.
Weekend Update co-anchor Colin Jost played the role of the straight man, “So what do you think the parties need to do to, like, open the government back up?”
Padilla claimed, “Look, Colin. It's all about communication. They just need to get in the room together and say hi.”
