…..Rev. Al Sharpton

[ open on exterior, White House — Night ]

[ dissolve to interior, Oval Office ]

President Barack Obama: Alright, now, uh… Give it to me straight.

Press Secretary: Well, Mr. President, uh… as your Press Secretary, I have to be honest: It has not been a good week. But, on the plus side, you have a state dinner tonight, and all of your biggest supporters are gonna be here.

[ Michelle Obama enters ]

Michelle Obama: Barack? I hope I’m not interrupting.

President Barack Obama: Uh, Michelle, uh… you’re never interrupting.

Press Secretary: Good to see you, Mrs. Obama. I’ll give you two a little privacy.

[ he exits ]

President Barack Obama: Michelle, it’s, uh… this is such a treat! I feel like, uhhh… I feel like it’s been YEARS since I’ve seen you!

Michelle Obama: It may feel that way — but I’m always here for you, and I always will be here for you.

[ Press Secretary re-enters ]

Press Secretary: I, um… I’m so sorry to interrupt. But Oprah Winfrey has arrived for the dinner, and she would LOVE to pop in and say Hello.

President Barack Obama: Well, then, that’s WONDERFUL!

Michelle Obama: What a nice surprise!

Press Secretary: Isn’t it? [ a beat ] So don’t you think you should… go and get changed? [ he chuckles embarrassedly ]

Michelle Obama: Why?

Press Secretary: So that… Oprah can come in?

[ it finally hits her ]

Michelle Obama: Oh. Because of the whole…?

Press Secretary: Yes, exactly! [ he laughs ]

Michelle Obama: And Kenan won’t…?

President Barack Obama: No.

Michelle Obama: Well… In that case, I will leave, and, in a few minutes, Oprah will be here!

Press Secretary: Thank you, Mrs. Obama! Thank you!

[ she exits ]

Announcer: [ over SUPER ] The producers at “Saturday Night Live” would like to apologize to Kerry Washington for the number of black women she will be asked to play tonight. We made these requests both because Ms. Washington is an actress of considerable range and talent and also because “SNL” does not currently have a black woman in the cast. As for the latter reason, we agree this is not an ideal situation and look forward to rectifying it in the near future… unless, of course, we fall in love with another white guy first.

[ suddenly, Oprah Winfrey rushes into the Oval Office ]

Oprah Winfrey: I’m HEEEEEEEERRRRRRREEEEEE!!

President Barack Obama: Oprah! I mean… It’s so good to see you! Uh, are you okay? You seem a little WINDED!

Oprah Winfrey: I ran here all the way from CHICAGOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

President Barack Obama: Well, uh… I’m so glad you did! So glad.

Press Secretary: Uh, Mr. President? Great news! Beyonce has just arrived for dinner, too!

President Barack Obama: Beyonce!

Oprah Winfrey: Don’t even!

Press Secretary: Um… She’d love to pop in and say Hello?

Oprah Winfrey: Is Jay-Z with her?

President Barack Obama: Uh… no! [ he shakes his head furiously ]

Oprah Winfrey: Okay. Well, then… I should get going!

Press Secretary: Ms. Winfrey!

[ she rushes out of the room ]

Press Secretary: Oh, man! Beyonce! That’s pretty cool.

President Barack Obama: Uhhh, yep! It’s cool.

Press Secretary: Oh! [ yelling toward the hall ] I hope she’s wearing that SPARKLY DRESS WITH ALL THE SEQUINS?!

Voice of Kerry Washington: She’s wearing a BATH ROBE!!!

Press Secretary: That’s good, too! That’s good, too. [ he checks his watch and tries to stall ] It’s such a nice office! [ he chuckles nervously ]

President Barack Obama: I mean, the BEST, huh? I don’t know why, uh, more offices aren’t oval.

Press Secretary: You know, I’ve thought that before!

President Barack Obama: So, uh… while we’re waiting, is, uh… is there anyone else out there?

Press Secretary: You know what? I’ll check. [ he runs toward the door ] Uhhhh, actually, uh… This is very, very exciting: There are SIX different Matthew McConaugheys!

[ he opens the door to let in the six Matthew McConaugheys ]

Matthew McConaugheys: Alright…! Alright…! Alright…! Alright…! Alright…!

President Barack Obama: Alright! I see this is gonna be a great party!

[ the camera pulls back, as Rev. Al Sharpton enters frame ]

Rev. Al Sharpton: Good evening, I’m the Rev. Al Sharpton! What have we learned from this sketch? As usual, NOTHING! “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”

Kerry Washington: Thank you, thank you, thank you so much! Thanks! It’s been GREAT to be here hosting “Saturday Night Live”. For the past few years, I’ve been starring in the show “Scandal”. [ the audience cheers ] Thank you! In which I play Olivia Pope, a Washington “fixer” who protects the reputations of the political elite. [ show still ] Here I am with Tony Goldwyn, who plays the President of the United States. and I am so proud to be on a show that, in 2013, has the courage to cast a white man as President. Anyway, it’s fun to play a strong, fearless woman, who’s not afraid to constantly drink red wine in a white pantsuit, and I —

[ Bobby Moynihan runs up to the stage ]

Bobby Moynihan: Olivia!

Kerry Washington: Hi, Bobby. It’s Kerry, actually. We talked about this.

Bobby Moynihan: Whatever! Listen, I need your help! The press has obtained some compromising photos of me in bed with my girlfriend.

Kerry Washington: That doesn’t sound too bad.

Bobby Moynihan: Well, she’s asleep, and I’m eating, like, a whole cookie cake.

Kerry Washington: Okay. That is bad. Here’s what you’re gonna do: Put your Social Security Number and a check in my dressing room, and I’ll take care of it.

Bobby Moynihan: Okay. How much will this cost me?

Kerry Washington: Whatever you think your reputation is worth, Moynihan!

Bobby Moynihan: [ he breathes a sigh of relief ] Oh! Okay, I can afford that!

[ he rushes off ]

[ Vanessa Bayer steps forward ]

Vanessa Bayer: Oh, yeah! New York! Cool! Um, hey — I heard that you fix problems?

Kerry Washington: Yeah, Vanessa, what’s going on?

Vanessa Bayer: Okay. Well, I was out last night, at “Da Club”, and, uh… I may have punched a bouncer.

Kerry Washington: Okay, you need to leave town immediately.

Vanessa Bayer: Because I hit a bouncer…?

Kerry Washington: No! Because you call it “Da Club”! I’ll have my team get your papers together, and you’ll be on the FIRST flight out TONIGHT!

Vanessa Bayer: But who will play Miley?

[ a bloodied Kenan Thompson step forward ]

Kenan Thompson: Hey, Kerry, how you doing!

Kerry Washington: Hey… Kenan. [ she notices his shirt ] Oh. Do you need my help with something?

Kenan Thompson: No, no, no! I’m good. I was just, uh, checking to see how you were doing.

Kerry Washington: Are you sure? Because you look like you might be in trouble.

Kenan Thompson: Oh, yeahhhh, there was something… What was my problem? Oh, yeah, yeah! I can’t find my car keys.

Man: And I’ll have a waffle cone with… cookies and cream annnnnnd… chocolate peanut butter. Oh — and we’re also gonna need, uh, two ambulances to wheel us out of here when we’re done!

[ she laughs with him ]

[ Clerk stares at them blankly ]

Man: Just because of all the sugar. You know? It’s just a joke.

[ Clerk stares blankly, as the scene morphs into what’s going through his mind: introspective scenery of walking along the riverbank and contemplating it all ]

Man V/O: Oh, we’re also gonna need two ambulances to wheel us out of here when we’re done! [ he laughs ] Just because of all the sugar… Of all the sugar… Of all the sugar…

[ scene morphs back into the ice cream shop ]

Man: Sorry, didn’t mean to, uh, give you too much to think about. Just the ice cream would be fine.

Clerk: Uhhh…

[ Clerk stares blankly, then the scene morphs to him perusing books at the library, performing math calculations, trying to digest as much information as he can ]

Man V/O: Sorry, didn’t mean to, uh, give you too much to think about. Just the ice cream would be fine. I’ll have a waffle cone with cookies and cream… and chocolate peanut butter. We’re also gonna need two ambulances to wheel us out of here when we’re done.

[ back at the ice cream shop, Clerk has an out-of-body experience and appears behind the couple ]

Man: It’s just a joke…

[ the Manager walks up ]

Manager: Is everything okay here, folks?

Man: Uh, no — not really. We just ordered some ice cream, and I joked about ordering so much ice cream that we might need a couple of ambulances to get us out of here. But it was just a joke!

Woman: Yeah!

[ the Manager also stares blankly, as the scene morphs into what’s going through his mind: seeking information at the library with the Clerk, then an out-of-body experience of his own ]

Man V/O: I joked about ordering so much ice cream, that we might need a couple of ambulances to get us out of here.

Manager V/O: Is everything alright here?

Man V/O: No, everything’s not okay. We just ordered some ice cream, and I joked about ordering so much ice cream that we might need a couple of ambulances… a couple of ambulances… a couple of ambulances… a couple of ambulances…

[ the Manager and Clerk test the ice cream for sugar intake, eventually going so far as to require assistance from paramedics, who burst into the ice cream shop in real-time to revive them, as the stunned couple watch ]

Paramedics: Hey, what the hell happened here?!

Man: Nothing! We were just ORDERING ice cream, and then I made a JOKE about needing tow ambulances to take us out of here!

[ the paramedics laugh, then turn sour ]

[ suddenly, the Manager chokes up his waffle cone and smiles ]

Manager: Oh, I get it!

[ the Man throws his arms up in defeat ]

[ she steps aside, as Principal Frye steps forward ]

Principal Frye: [ blowing into microphone and clicking his teeth ] Attention teachers and students… It has come to my attention… that several of y’all have stolen the Whack-a-Mole mallets! And have taken it upon yourselves to chase homeless people off the property! Students, it’s called Whack-a-MOLE, not Whack-a-BUM! Also: One of y’all has taken off all your clothes, and is currently parading around in a cotton candy thong! I hope that’s cotton candy! Otherwise, you need to go see a d-d-d-d-d-doctor or something! Thank you, teachers and students!

[ he steps aside, as Teacher reappears ]

Now, I know I failed most of you’s on your midterms, and I called your parents, but I really think it’s gonna help you in the long run. So, let’s have fun! I’m gonna be right over there in the Dunk Tank, I hope some of you will — Oh, look! There’s already a line forming! I’ve been practicing my insults to inspire you: “You’re a stinky botom!” [ she laughs ] J.K.! Alright, see you all over there!

[ she steps aside, as Teacher reappears ]

Teacher: Thank you, Miss Terry. and now, we would like to — [ Principal Frye reappears ] Oh!

Principal Frye: [ blowing into microphone and clicking his teeth ] Attention teachers and students… Several of y’all have been caught fornicating in the funhouse! Unfortunately, there are so many mirrors in there, I can’t tell if there’s two of y’all or a full-on ORGY! Our beloved school secretatry, Miss Janice, who lived through the 70’s, was STILL hocked by this sordid display and fainted on sight! Also: There’s a possum posing as a Churro’s vendor… so if you’re looking for a snack, I would suggest a f-f-f-f-f-funnel cake! Thank you, teachers and students!

[ he steps aside, as Teacher reappears ]

Teacher: Thank you, Principal Frye!

[ suddenly, a loud splash is heard off-screen ]

[ a soaking wet Miss Terry stomps forward ]

Miss Terry: You animals! You’re only supposed to throw ONE ball at a time! And you’re only supposed to throw soft balls, not BASKETBALLS! Not Snapple bottles! Not a freakin’ plugged-in computer printer! One of youse even turned on a HOSE! On a BLACK lady! Know your history! You little ass baskets! That water was DISGUSTING! It’s full of tadpoles and mosquito larvae! I think it’s the same water from last year. You know what? I’m going back to teaching Catholic school in Long Island! [ she screams as she’s pelted with garbage ]

[ Coach Steve Kane steps forward ]

Steve Kane: HEY!! STOP THROWING STUFF!! AND SHUT UP! SHUT THE HELL UP!! This sad, wet little clown lady is up here makin’ a FOOL of herself for YOU! For YOU! Somebody TRICKED this poor lady into volunteering for the Dunk Tank for YOU! For YOU-OU-OU! Maybe we should have done this in MY neighborhood, where everyone’s idea of a carnival is a PLAYGROUND with a hundred black people standing around watching one person do PULL-UPS! And guess what? Somebody always gets stabbed! That sound nice? Huh?! Well, then, SHUT THE HELL UP and play some WHACK-A-MOLE!!

[ he starts to step away, as Principal Frye suddenly pops up from below frame ]

Principal Frye: Attention teachers and students!! Somebody has put a Nerf Shark in the apple-bobbing barrel! Students, these are normally docile animals, but one of you jive-time Tom turkeys put a can of Red Bull in there! And now the shark is behaving very aggressively, and seems eager to check things off his To-Do List! So let’s please, please do not go bobbing for apples if you value the lips on your face! Also: There’s a dirty diaper in the ball pit. Somebody gonna catch Hepatitis up in here! Attention! Attention, students…!

Student #5…..John Milhiser

[ open on Astoria Elementary School ]

[ dissolve to classroom ]

Teacher: Okay, okay, okay! “When my hand goes up…”

Class: “The chatter goes DOWN!!”

Teacher: Oh, yay. Class, this is Officer Rosen, from the Irvine Cops & Classrooms program. He’s going to be talking to you today about Stranger Awareness.

Officer Rosen: Mmm-hmm!

Teacher: So be courteous and still. Yay for this! I’m gonna go sit in my car and make an adult phone call.

[ Teacher exits the classroom ]

Officer Rosen: Alright, good morning, guys!

Class: Good morning, Officer Rosen!!

Officer Rosen: Okay.

Shalon: A cop in a windbreaker?! That’s a cool look, man!

Officer Rosen: Oh. Well, thank you… thank you. Now, I want to talk to you kids today about something that I call “Stranger Danger.” Sometimes, especially now around Halloween, you know, you may find yourself in a situation where you’re confronted by a stranger without a parent or a guardian nearby.

Shalon: So far, so goooooood!

Officer Rosen: Okay. Now, let’s say a man — he pulls up into the school parking lot, and he’s in a van, and he offers you some candy?

Shalon: Oooooohh! I like candy!

Officer Rosen: Uhhhh… well, we all like candy. But, the question is: What should you do?

Shalon: Whatever it takes to GET THAT CANDY!!

Officer Rosen: Now, wait a minute! Wait a minute, wait a minute. The man… he says to you, that what you have to do is get into his van to have that candy.

Shalon: GET IN THAT VA-A-A-A-ANNN!!

Officer Rosen: No! No, no! No, no! No! I’m sorry. It’s on me! It’s on me! I should have clarified: The MAN… is a STRANGER! You don’t know the man.

Shalon: Okay! So, then, you go: “What’s your name? I’m Shalon. Where are you from? I’m from Orange County.” Everything checks out, then hop into that van and GET THAT CANDY!!

Student #1: Ohhhhhh, I get it! So if you introduce yourself to a stranger, they’re not a stranger any more!

Officer Rosen: What?! No, no, no, no, no, no, NO! That’s wrong! That’s wrong! I’m sorry, now what was your name? [ he points to Shalon ]

Shalon: Shalon!

Officer Rosen: Okay. So, Shalon here is, uh, clearly misinformed… but she sounds very confident, and that might be throwing some of the rest of you off. The bottom line, guys, is that you should NEVER, EVER talk to strangers.

Shalon: Whoa, whoa, hold up! I can’t TALK to him?! I mean, I’m shilling in this dude’s SWEET van, eating all his candy, and I’m supposed to just SIT there in total silence?! That is classic BAD MANNERS, man!

Student #2: Yeah! That’s DISRESPECTFUL, Officer Rosen!

Student #3: Yeah, you’re MEAN, Sir!

Officer Rosen: [ fuming ] Okay, guys… When I say “Don’t talk to strangers”… That INCLUDES not getting into the van!

Shalon: Mr. Officer, listen — Let’s back this thing up! There is CANDY involved! Huh? Now, for me, I am ALL about candy! And if all I have to do to GET said candy is hang out in a van… I am NOW all about VANS!!

Student #4: Yes! Shalon’s right. I’m starting to see vans in a whole new way now. Do you know how much CANDY you can fit in a VAN?!!

Shalon: Right!

Student #3: [ looking out the window ] Hey, you guys — There’s a van parked out in the street! If it’s there after school, let’s all approach the driver for candy!

Officer Rosen: No, no! NO!! No, no… DON’T do that!

Student #5: [ raising his hand ] Officer Rosen? Because of you: When I grow up, I want to drive a van and pass out candy to kids. I LOVE VANS!!

Shalon: [ impressed ] Wo-ow! BIG day for vans!

Officer Rosen: Wait, wait, wait! What?! What? Okay, I — I — I think that everybody here may have less of a handle on strangers than before I walked in. [ he sighs heavily ] That’s not a good thing. Shalon? Can you come up here? Help me out. [ she runs up ] These guys obviously look up to you. Are you the leader in the class, or something?

Shalon: Unofficial, no title, but that seems pretty accurate, yeah!

Officer Rosen: Okay. Shalon and I are gonna do a scenario.

Shalon: Okay. It’s Shalon, again…

Officer Rosen: Shalon, we’re gonna do a SCENARIO!! No CANDY in this one!! And there’s no vans, either, okay?

Student #4: [ stunned ] No VANS?? Woof! I already HATE this!

Officer Rosen: Guys! Guys! Just please, please pretend I’m a MAN… who walks up to your friend, Shalon, in a park — and remember, it’s NOT safe to talk to strangers, okay? So I come up and I say, “Hey, little girl… you wanna get in my van?”

Shalon: “You’re probably a friend of my Dad’s! Let’s go!”

Officer Rosen: NO!! NO, NO!! Hey, look! I’m NOT — I am a TOTAL STRANGER to you!!

Shalon: Well… I don’t know all of my Dad’s friends! I don’t even know my DAD!!

Officer Rosen: [ exasperated ] I’m NOT… a FRIEND… of your FATHER!!

Shalon: Oh… Wait! So are you playing my Dad? “Oh, what’s up, Dad! I get why you left, Mom is a mess…”

Student #1: Shalon’s interacting with her Dad, guys!

Class: YAYYYYYYY!!!!

Officer Rosen: I’M NOT HER DAD!!!

Student #4: BE A MAN, AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR CHILD!!

Officer Rosen: She’s not — SHE’S NOT MY DAMN CHILD!!! Now, look — listen!! Can’t anybody even name a SINGLE thing that was wrong with this scenario?!!

Student #4: Ummmmm, let me think… There were no VANS!!

Student #2: And no candy!

Student #4: Yeah! But Shalon was AWESOME!!

Class: YEAH!! SHA-LON!! SHA-LON!! SHA-LON!!

13d: Edward Norton / Janelle Monae

A Message From the Department of Health & Human Services

Kathleen Sebelius…..Kate McKinnon
I.T. Guy…..Bobby Moynihan

[ open on department seal ]

Announcer: And now, a message from the Department of Health & Human Services.

[ dissolve to Kathleen Sebelius ]

Kathleen Sebelius: Hello there, hi! I’m Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health under President Obama. Now, a lot of folks have been talking about our new health care enrollment website… how it’s been crashing and freezing and shutting down and stalling and not working and breaking and sucking.

Well, tonight, I have a number of friendly tips to help you deal with those technical problems. For example, have you tried restarting your computer? Sometimes it helps to turn the computer off, and then turn it back on! We don’t know why, it just does!

If our website still isn’t loading up properly, we’re probably just overloaded with traffic. Millions of Americans are visiting healthcare.gov, which is great news. Unfortunately, the site was only designed to handle six users at a time. So if you’re in a rush… [ she turns to reveal the website up on a computer screen ] Consider using our low-res website… [ she clicks button to “U WANT DOCTR?” screen ] With simpler fonts and graphics. Nice! Or, if the regular English site isn’t working… try signing up in a different language, like, say… Icelandic. [ she clicks to screen ] And then choose one of four simple plans: Fjordflug, Huegelhoffer, Trollish, or High-Five. Now that’s fun!

And if our site keeps freezing, we’ve also provided links to other helpful websites, such as kayak.com… where you can purchase airline tickets to Canada, and buy cheaper prescription drugs. Or how about bitTorrent, where you can download pirated copies of healthcare-related movies like “Patch Adams”! We also have links to a number of doctor-themed pornographic websites that should help you pass the time. Sites like “Docors Without Boundaries”… “Bang Ambulance”… “WebM DD’s”… and “Blue Cross Blue Balls.”

Still need guidance? Consult healthcare.gov’s Frequently Asked Questions, for topics like: “What The Hell?”, “How Have I Been On The Same Page For Three Hours?”, “Does ObamaCare Cover Mental Health Issues Causes By Using This Website?”, and our most frequently asked question: “Who The Government?”

Or you can contact us by mail. Just send a postcard with the word “HELP!” to “The U.S. Government. ATTN: Internet Problems, Washington, D.C.” And in six to eight weeks, you;ll receive an informational brochure. [ she holds up pamphlet: “So You Want To Do Computer?” ] Along with a trial version of Encarta Encyclopedia. Plus: 1,000 free hours of AOL! Just don’t install any of these programs while our website is running, or it WILL cause an actual fire.

So enjoy your new healthcare system, America! And be sure to Like Us on Facebook. [ she clicks a button to reveal the thumbs-up symbol ] Oh, look at that! We’re already up to THREE Likes! And I LIKE… that enthusiasm!

[ she clicks another button, accidentally starting a Virus Download ]

I.T.! Could we get someone from I.T. in here? We’ve got a problem.

[ I.T. Guy enters with a baseball bat and smashes the computer to pieces ]

I.T. Guy: FIXED IT!!

[ he exits ]

Kathleen Sebelius: Oh! Oh! And I almost forgot the most important thing of all. Whatever happens, do not… [ the screen freezes with a spinning rainbow circle, then finally resumes ] …or you WILL die. Thank you for listening, and “Live From New York, it’s Saturday Night!”
