WATCH: ‘Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ Ducks Questions and Channels Demi Lovato in ‘SNL’ Parody

‘The Huck’ Brought Confidence

Aidy Bryant’s Sarah Huckabee Sanders returned to “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) last night to present reporters with riddles, duck questions and channel Demi Lovato in a parody of the singer’s “Confident.”

“Good morning, guys, uh… Halloween’s over,” Bryant began, “but I see some of you guys are still in your journalist costumes. In a minute, I’m gonna tell you guys a six-minute riddle about taxes, but first I’m gonna take some questions, so.”

The line was a nod to Sanders’ lengthy introduction to the press briefing the very day that former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort was indicted in Robert Mueller’s Russia probe, with charges that included “conspiracy against the United States.”

The press secretary, naturally, opened with a riddle “about” tax reform, fresh from the Internet, which detailed “10 journalists splitting a $100 bar tab after a night out.”    

Reporters were uninterested, asking relevant questions and receiving no real answers, as they did on the popular sketch comedy show late Saturday.

“Sarah, you’ve continually denied any connection between the Trump campaign and interference from the Russian government,” one “reporter” asked, interrupted briefly by Bryant’s Sanders to belittle the media’s “obsession.”

“However, Sarah, in light of indictments handed down this week,” the “reporter” continued, “what I wanna know is how you can continue to stand here day, after day, and maintain there’s no connection to the president.”

The answer was a parody of Lovato’s “Confident,” in which Bryant offered a hilarious take that included interludes between “The Huck” and journalists in the crowd.
