The ‘SNL’ audience cursed during Ego Nwodim’s wild ‘Weekend Update’ sketch about the White House Correspondents’ dinner.
A “Saturday Night Live” sketch for the ages.
Ego Nwodim joined Colin Jost and Michael Che at the Weekend Update desk on the sketch comedy show this weekend and led a skit that went completely off the rails.
Nwodim, 37, talked about the White House’s decision to not have a comedian perform at the Correspondents Dinner, but sold herself for the job anyway by turning into stand-up comedian character named “Miss Eggy.”
As “Miss Eggy,” a woman in her 50s with five children, Nwodim paced back and forth on the stage with a purse in her hand and made jokes she would’ve said at the dinner.
At one point, the comedian, yelled out, “Miss Eggy don’t what?,” and held her microphone out to the live audience at Studio 8H, who replied, “Play!”
Nwodim was thrown off by the audience response.
