‘Saturday Night Live’ Brings Back Dana Carvey’s Church Lady To Interview Hunter Biden

Dana Carvey revived his iconic Church Lady character to open Saturday Night Live, hosting a “Church Chat” that featured a lineup of “sinners” from what she called the “most Satanic year in history.”

Guests included 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’s Church Lady teased.

Sherman, as Gaetz, shot back, “No, this is just how my face is.”

The Church Lady then pressed Gaetz, saying, “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 to see it, did we? Isn’t that convenient?”

“For me it is, yes,” Gaetz replied.

The Church Lady warned him, “You better repent, Matt. There’s 17 days left to Christmas.”

“You had me at 17!” Gaetz quipped.

Next up was David Spade as Hunter Biden, who greeted the Church Lady with, “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,” she responded, nodding to Spade and Carvey’s real-life Fly on the Wall podcast.

The Church Lady probed further: “Some people aren’t too happy about your pardon.”

Spade’s Biden replied, “Well, they singled me out just because of who I am. 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 exclaimed.

After a brief visit from Hernandez as Juan Soto, the sketch wrapped up with Carvey and the Church Chat singers performing “Satan had a good year!”

This eighth episode of SNL’s milestone 50th season was hosted by Gladiator 2 star Paul Mescal, with musical guest Shaboozey.
