Saturday Night Live's Skit About the Travel Ban
Here's How Saturday Night Live Handled President Trump's Travel Ban
In their most recent episode, the writers and cast of Saturday Night Live responded to Donald Trump's hotly contested travel ban. Titled "Welcome Video," the sketch imagined the many edits US Customs and Border Protection would have to make to their welcome video following the president's decision.
At the start of the video, an agent goes through the requirements needed to enter the country as a narrator makes harsh amendments. He then lists the many new requirements, which include fingerprints, a blood sample, and the completion of a "highly detailed questionnaire," which simply asks, "Are you Muslim?"
In a rare occurrence for the comedy show, the sketch might be more upsetting than it is funny. See for yourself and watch it above.
