John Mulaney's 'SNL' Parody Pokes Fun At NYC Politician Harvey Epstein's Name
The Comedian Mocked Epstein's Name In A Sketch About The City's Mayoral Race
John Mulaney brought his signature wit to "Saturday Night Live" this weekend, delivering a hilarious sketch that poked fun at New York City politician Harvey Epstein's unfortunate name.
In the sketch, Mulaney played a reporter interviewing Epstein, who was running for mayor. Epstein's name, which sounds like "Harvey Epstein," became the butt of numerous jokes throughout the sketch.
"So, Mr. Epstein," Mulaney asked, "what are your plans for the city?"
"Well, first of all, I'd like to make it clear that my name is pronounced 'Epstein,'" Epstein replied. "But I'm not going to let that stop me from winning this election."
Mulaney continued to mock Epstein's name throughout the sketch, much to the audience's delight. At one point, he even suggested that Epstein change his name to "Harvey McSteiny."
Epstein took the jokes in good humor, even laughing along with the audience at times. He showed that he was a good sport and that he could take a joke.
The sketch was a reminder of Mulaney's comedic genius and his ability to find humor in even the most mundane of situations. It was also a testament to Epstein's good nature and his willingness to laugh at himself.
