Even Governor Andrew Cuomo’s character on “Saturday Night Live” could not be excused due to the scandal over the death scandal at the New York nursing home.
Pete Davidson played the governor without apology in the last episode of the night’s comedy show, which appeared alongside Aidy Bryant as Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
They both had to apologize to Chloe Fineman’s Britney Spears in a show called “Wow, you did it again,” with Cuomo’s notorious rage replacing any lament.
Davidson’s Cuomo even tried to completely ignore the nursing home scandal, making it look like he thought he was on the show for the “exciting” news that “the indoor restaurant is back in New York!”
After being reprimanded by Spears, Davidson’s Cuomo finally looked downcast as he acknowledged, “It’s because of the … things of the nursing home.”
He then insisted that the inaccurate notification of COVID-19 deaths for seniors in New York was no different from “what happens at Disney World,” suggesting that theme parks “move bodies” to pretend that people who die in attractions actually passed out of the park.
“So we just did the Disney one,” the fake Cuomo innocently said.
Pulled back by Spears, the fake Cuomo did what the real one seems unable to do and apologized, albeit angrily.
“Yes. I said I’m sorry! ”He barked, before getting angry at mentioning the name of Mayor Bill de Blasio.
“What did that bird say about me?” he asked, saying “he would bury him in the tallest tomb this city has ever seen.”
“I’m sorry, okay,” he told Spears. “Every once in a while I get a little angry – and always do.”
He was even angry when Cruz, who had seemed happy about his own scandal of going to Mexico during his state’s power outage crisis, tried to compare them as “the two strong men misunderstood.”
“Don’t join me. We are not the same. I’m a man, you’re a clown, “said Davidson’s Cuomo.
“If you stick with me, I’ll send you to a clown hospital. And when you die, I will not count your body “, he warned.
Bryant’s Cross had entered the show’s set with pearls in her hair and was wearing a “Cancun Family Vacation 2021” T-shirt, carrying a tropical drink in one hand and pulling from one rolling suitcase with the other.
“Hello everyone. I’m not brown, I just cried in red over my fellow Texans. And that’s why I drink in his honor, ”he said with a smile.
“I’m in some hot water, they tell me it’s something no one in Texas has,” Cruz told Brears at Spears.
“I deeply regret my actions of the last two days … most flying together,” he joked. “I’m sorry, I’m pretty bad with human things,” he said of his lame joke.
Asked about being nicknamed a coward for abandoning his home state during his historic crisis, suitor Cruz said, “Yes, ‘coward’ is the prettiest word I’ve ever heard.”
Cuomo wasn’t Cruz’s only furious guest trying to compare himself to them, with “Mandalorian” star Gina Carano, played by Cecily Strong, who called him “coach” in his “first class.”
“If you compare yourself to me, I’ll blow you up in the farthest desert from Tatooine,” suitor Carano told Cruz, only for him to reply, “Anything to get out of Texas.”
Carano insisted he had nothing to apologize for his posts on social media comparing the situation of current conservatives with the Jews of Nazi Germany.
“I would never have made this Nazi comparison if I had known that everyone would be a Nazi,” the suitor Carano replied.
