Dana Carvey‘s Church Lady character opened “Saturday Night Live” with her talkshow guests including a parade of “sinners” representing the “most Satanic year in history”: Sarah Sherman as Matt Gaetz, David Spade as Hunter Biden and Marcello Hernandez as baseball free agent Juan Soto.
“Are you okay, Matt? You look a little surprised to be here,” Carvey says.
“No, this is just how my face is,” Gaetz’ Sherman replies.
“Matt, let’s see if I have this straight. You were involved in some little sexual peccadillos? They wrote a whole report about it, but somehow we never got tosee it, did we? Isn’t that convenient?,” the Church Lady says.
“For me it is, yes,” Gaetz answers.

“You better repent Matt. There’s 17 days left to Christmas,” says the Church Lady.
“You had me at 17!” says Gaetz.
The Church Lady was then visited by David Spade as Hunter Biden, who said “Hi Church Lady! I haven’t been here in a while. I’ve been laying low a little bit.”
“That’s okay, at least you haven’t been doing a podcast,” the Church Lady says. (Spade and Carvey have the “Fly on the Wall” podcast together.)
“Some people aren’t too happy about your pardon,” the Church Lady says. “Well, they singled me out just because of who I am,” Spade said. “Much like Trump, they went after me because of my last name and all the illegal things I did.”
“Well, isn’t that special!” the Church Lady exclaims.
After a visit from ballplayer Soto, Carvey and the Church Chat singers exited the stage singing “Satan had a good year!”
