-And now it's time to play "Republican or Not" with your host Benson Dubois. [ Cheers and applause ] -Hello, and welcome to the show. The game is simple. We're going to meet some people. And our contestants have to guess whether they're Republican or not. Seems easy, right? Hello, contestants. -Hi, Benson. I'm Jim Lee. And, honestly, this game seems pretty straightforward. So I think I got this. -I bet you do. And how about you, miss? -Hello, Benson. I'm Michelle Flynn. I grew up in Ohio, so I'v
e been playing this game my whole life. Kind of an expert. -Sure you are. Alright, let's get started. Let's bring out our first guest. ♪♪ This is Brady. Now, he's going to make a few statements. Ring in as soon as you're ready to guess Republican or not? Alright, Brady, give us our first clue. -I think Facebook is evil. -Oh, wow. Um... Because they're spreading disinformation or because they banned Donald Trump? -Hmm. Not so easy, is it? -Well, maybe we need another hint. -I would say you do. -I
buy all my produce straight from a farm. -Because you want to or because you have to? -I don't know, Miss Ohio. You the expert. Keep going, Brady. -I respect pro athletes who stand up for their beliefs. -Which athlete? -And which belief? -Who knows? It could be her. Or him. ♪♪ No guesses? Okay, then. Give them their last clue, Brady. -God, I hate cops. [ Beep ] -Okay. He is not a Republican. [ Buzzer ] -Oh! Sorry, so close, but no. Brady is indeed a Republican. -But -- But he said he hates cops
. -Yes, but he was talking about these cops. Well, better luck next round. Let's meet our second guest, Lacy. ♪♪ Lacy came here from Manhattan. -Uh, New York City or Kansas? -I can't say. Start the clock. -On Twitter my pinned tweet is "my body, my choice." -Okay. That's a trick. She's talking about vaccines, right? -Oh, if we only knew. Another hint, Lacy. -I support Caitlyn Jenner. -In what way? Politically? -Y'all are doing great, just great. -Give us another clue. -Okay. My favorite comic is
Dave Chappelle. -Starting when? -I love my job. Alright, give them another one. -Last month I went to a board meeting and complained about a book being taught in my daughter's school. [ Beep ] -Okay. I definitely know that one. She's a Republican. [ Buzzer ] -No, sorry. -What? She was complaining about a book in her kid's school. -That's right. And that book... The Bible. Alright, before we bring out our next guest, let's hear about today's sponsors. Jimmy! -"Republican or Not" is sponsored by
the city of Orlando, where Democrats visit and Republicans live. Orlando. Back to you, Benson. -Thank you, Jimmy. Alright, let's bring out our next guest, Liz. -Good afternoon. -Is that -- I feel like I recognize her. -Maybe you do. Start the clock. -I'm a congresswoman from Wyoming. I'm endorsed by the NRA and have an 80% rating from the American Conservative Union. ♪♪ -Nobody wants to ring in? -Yeah, I really want to. It seems so obvious, but this game is weird. -My name is Liz Cheney. I'm the
daughter of Vice President Dick Cheney. -She's the daughter of Dick Cheney. -Okay. Y'all are being real tricky here, aren't you? -I'm a Republican. [ Beep ] -Republican. She just said she's a Republican. [ Buzzer ] -No, sorry. Again, that is wrong. -What? How? -The Wyoming Republican Party actually voted Representative Cheney out this week for opposing Donald Trump. -But I am a Republican. -[ Laughs ] You might tell everybody that, but it's not what other Republicans say. Like it or not, you ar
e the Rachel Dolezal of the Republican Party. -Well, I don't care. I've been fighting for Republican values all my life. -Oh, that is so cute. We will see you on MSNBC in about a week. Let's take a break. When we come back, we'll find out if these camouflage pants are Republican or not. -Ooh, ooh, ooh! Who's wearing them? A guy playing paintball or Rihanna? -You still don't get it.

@deepskyfrontier

Funny how Keenan Thompson may have managed to become America’s most recognizable gameshow host… all without actually hosting a gameshow.

@Hannah-ls7xb

"I support Caitlyn Jenner" "In what way?" hahahaha

@brianna_lynch

If they ever do this again, they should include “I drive a Tesla” as a hint

@dylansickinger545

I love the sketches where the contestants are having a mental breakdown and the host is just as entertained as an audience member

@oddishhonor

“You still don’t get it” is the most appropriate line to end it on

@Simon-tc1mc

I'm just waiting for when Kenan actually becomes a game show host.

@Bigfishfun333

The best part of this skit is Keenan's extreme smugness (in knowing that it's almost impossible to tell a person's political affiliation from one statement these days). Well done.

@soundgal_sine_qua_non

"You still don't get it" is one of the best closing lines I've heard in an SNL sketch. Well done.

@MindlessTurtle

Best political skit since Tom Hanks played Doug on Black Jeopardy.

@shamaripatton-webb7254

“I grew up in Ohio so I been playing this game my whole life.” More tangible than I want it to be.

@GeeksWelcomeYT

"My favorite comic is Dave Chappelle." "Starting when?" And yet somehow he came back to host a year later.

@rphb5870

I love how "my body my choice" can mean two different things that the other side hates

@findandobserve

This skit goes to show that the “what” means nothing without the “why”

@krissyburke5050

My favorite types of sketches are when Kenan is chill and making everyone else uncomfortable, funniest man

@natr1zzy

"Orlando: Where democrats visit and republicans live" LMFAOOO

@ytmndan

Damn dude. This is one of those rare moments when SNL was able to get politically brutal and actually funny without being preachy. Love it.

@tobybartels8426

I also think that this should be a recurring sketch, like Black Jeopardy.

@Mskittenlover12

This should be a recurring skit. There's so many places they could go with this. 😂

@ThePatrickFamilyBand

"You still don't get it." Kenan is a gem.

@drawntowardmadness

"You still don't get it" I cheered 🤣
