18 November 2019

As expected, the cold open of this past weekend's episode of Saturday Night Live lampooned the first two days of the public impeachment hearings.
<p>The late night sketch show put a soap opera spin on the proceedings, calling it "Days of Our Impeachment," and featured a string of political impressions from the cast, as well as a special guest appearance by Jon Hamm as Bill Taylor.</p><p><strong>You can watch it below:</strong></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-youtube">

</p><p>At one point in the sketch, Pete Davidson appears as notorious Stormy Daniels attorney Michael Avenatti to offer up some juicy gossip about Trump's affair with the porn star, only to be told "that storyline was from, like, last season."</p><p>A defeated Davidson then pretends to forget who he's playing, referencing <a href="https://www.comicsands.com/jeopardy-finalists-stumped-trump-question-2641362233.html" target="_blank">a recent <em>Jeopardy!</em> episode</a> where none of the contestants could come up with Avenatti's name. Instead, Davidson refers to himself as "Michael Avocado."</p><p>After the sketch aired, Davidson's impression got a response from Avenatti himself, who in turn did his own impression of Trump by mock-raging about it on Twitter.<br></p><p><div id="insticator-container" class="embedid-c230ccfe-b34e-4c23-8bb0-aaf80e33dfdf"><div id="div-insticator-ad-1"></div><div id="insticator-embed"></div><div id="div-insticator-ad-2"></div><script data-cfasync="false" type="text/javascript">Insticator.ad.loadAd("div-insticator-ad-1");Insticator.ad.loadAd("div-insticator-ad-2");Insticator.load("em",{id : "c230ccfe-b34e-4c23-8bb0-aaf80e33dfdf"})</script></div></p><p>"Nothing funny about tired <em>Saturday Night Live</em> on Fake News NBC," Avenatti tweeted, adding:</p><p><div data-conversation-spotlight=""></div></p><blockquote><em>"Question is, how does that total loser Pete Davidson save his dieing mediocre career by playing me and get away with these total Democratic hit jobs without retribution?

<p></p><p>Trump has been very vocal on Twitter about Alec Baldwin's less-than-flattering portrayal of him on <em>Saturday Night Live</em>.<br></p><p><strong>He was roasted back in March of 2018 when he attacked Baldwin and misspelled the word "dying," which Avenatti perfectly satirized in his own tweet.</strong></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed">
