March 11 (UPI) — Emmy-winning actor Sterling K. Brown performed in a parody of his beloved drama This is Us — and the White House — when he guest hosted Saturday Night Live this weekend.
Brown, 41, appears as Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson in the pre-taped segment called This is U. S.
« Millions of Americans have tuned into the show that’s captivating a nation, » a narrator says in voiceover. « A drama so unnerving, you can’t look away. The No. 1 drama in America. NBC presents This is U. S., the real-life drama happening in our government every day. The show critics are calling like This is Us, but without the parts that feel good. »
« Dr. Ben Carson, what’s wrong? » an assistant asks Carson.
« All of it. All of it is wrong, » Brown’s Carson replies.
« This whole thing, with the president having sex with a porn star, it just didn’t happen, » says Aidy Bryant, playing White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders .
She then looks down at her podium in the briefing room and sees sticky notes that read, « Stop lying, Sarah! » and « Seriously, what are you doing? »
The clip also features Pete Davidson as shirtless Senior Advisor to the President Jared Kushner, who throws a liquor bottle against a wall after calling United Arab Emirates and asking to borrow $800 million.
At home, Sanders sits on her couch and cries as she looks at funeral urns with the names Hicks, Spicer and Scaramucci engraved on them — a nod to staffers who have left the White House in recent months.
Kate McKinnon also revived her impression of Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway to tell Sanders, « You’re growing up to be just like me, maybe even better, meaning worse. »
» This is U. S. This is real, » the narrator wraps up the clip as Sanders, Carson and Kushner weep inconsolably.
The Season 2 finale of This is Us is to air Tuesday on NBC.
