In the latest sketch to come from SNL, the topic that the comedy show covered was the Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith drama.

After the Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith Revelations, SNL Hits off the New Season With a Hilarious Skit on the Couple

As the world eagerly watches the unfolding chapters in the Jada Pinkett Smith
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/jada-pinkett-smith/] and Will Smith
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/will-smith/] saga, the controversy seems to
extend endlessly. From personifying ‘couple goals’ to becoming the objects of
ridicule, the couple has officially done it all. After 26 years of marriage,
their now seemingly crumbling relationship has amused many. While the internet
continues to troll the duo with memes, another player has entered the arena. 

The comedy series SNL has a tendency to scoop in on the latest celebrity
ongoings to generate their comedic content. So, it was a given that the show was
going to dabble in a Smith family skit sometime now. Finally, it has delivered
just that by depicting Jada Pinkett Smith’s recent demeanor in their own style.
As seen in this X (formerly known as Twitter) clip, they attempted to imitate
every facet of the 52-year-old.

Even the clothing worn by Ego Nwodim, who was portraying the Red Table Talk
host, resembled that of Pinkett Smith’s which she wore during her initial
interview

that got the ball rolling. Besides the ensemble, the jokes reflected the topics
that her interviews have covered recently. While the content seemed to mock the
mother of 2, it was not far from SNL’s typical style of roasting.

Well, it definitely solved its purpose of engaging the Twitterati, who were left
in stitches because of it. The majority of the viewers saw the resemblance
between the SNL character and Smith.


SNL’S JADA PINKETT SMITH VS WILL SMITH SKIT LEAVES NETIZENS AMUSED

Last week, SNL also mentioned the Smith family drama during its famous weekend
update
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-news-will-smith-jada-pinkett-smith-and-a-g-i-jane-joke-snl-famous-weekend-update-had-it-all-on-the-star-studded-night/]
that the series is known for. However, this two-and-a-half-minute-long video was
much more detailed than that. Well, netizens who came across the X post noticed
those very details and one even deemed them “accurate.” Another user agreed that
those who have watched the drama closely would find it “funny”.

Some felt that the show had not delivered a realistic portrayal of Jada Pinkett
Smith.

Others commented that while the clip was funny, Nwodim did not quite do justice
to the part. However, one user said that she was “hilarious” despite that.

chord with audiences with their depiction of a celebrity once again!
