The LSU women’s basketball team won a national title on Sunday, and one of its star players found her way to Saturday Night Live to close the week.
Well, it would come via a very fun parody by SNL cast member Punkie Johnson, who portrayed LSU’s Angel Reese during the show’s Weekend Update segment with Michael Che.
Johnson’s take on Reese was in part responding to the White House controversy that sparked from First Lady Jill Biden floating the idea of inviting both LSU and Iowa to the nation’s capital.
Reese initially said she wasn’t interested in going to the White House after Biden made the recommendation but later changed her mind. President Joe Biden actually called Reese and congratulated her on the team’s victory.
Johnson’s skit playing Reese touched on that and the very silly controversy around her taunting Iowa’s Caitlin Clark after LSU defeated Iowa in the 2023 women’s NCAA tournament championship.
The clip contains some NSFW language.

Reese gave Johnson’s impression her endorsement by sharing the video on her Twitter page.
