Judge Pirro - or whatever she is - has to have the worst possible voice for television! And I only remember for her brief and unsuccessful run for public office - a disastrous run against Senator Hillary Clinton!

OMG - too much funny to choose from!!
Cecily Strong's Jeanine Pirro was brilliant, and Kenan Thompson's David Clarke ("Very unpopular amongst my own people" ) had me in stitches!!!

Beware of the Bradavan!!!

On edit - I was wondering if they had a Trump sketch in the pipeline, but came up with this at the last minute due to Baldwin's legal troubles? Although, they addressed the arrest at the very end by flashing a still from the infamous Canteen Boy sketch...

Though the "caravan" does seem to be the biggest news story just now, second only to the election.
