“It's been a crazy week,” Cecily Strong’s newest SNL character said, rolling onto the Weekend Update set with a stray receipt on her face and frantic glint in her eye. “I haven't been home in three days.” Her panic is understandable when you realize she’s playing an HR rep trying desperately to stay ahead of the wave (after wave, after wave) of sexual harassment and assault cases crowding the news.

“I’m just here to do a little quiz,” she told Weekend Update co-anchor Colin Jost, shuffling some papers. “First question is about office romance, not a big deal, we know it all happens. So what is the appropriate way to handle a workplace relationship? A, inform someone at HR? B, lock her in a room and make her look at it? Or C, bully her out of the entire industry?”

“I’m going to say A,” Jost replied, to Strong’s immediate relief.

“You would be surprised how many people get that wrong,” she said, the shadows of Louis C.K.(B) and Harvey Weinstein (C) looming over the punchline. “It could almost make you lose your mind.”
