Last night's episode of "Saturday Night Live" saw Scarlett Johansson serve up a sharp satire of Sen. Katie Britt's GOP response to the State of the Union, sending the audience into a frenzy of laughter. Johansson, who is married to "SNL" cast member Colin Jost, transformed into a 'scary mom' version of the Alabama senator with a flair for dark humor.

In a comical twist, the "Black Widow" star kicked off her cold open by saying, "Tonight I'll be auditioning for the part of scary mom. I’ll be performing an original monologue called ‘This Country is Hell.’" This set the tone for a skit that was interspersed with jokes that hit close to home, as reported by NBC Washington.

Johansson's portrayal didn't shy away from touching on the recent controversies surrounding Britt, including a questionable tale about sex trafficking during her GOP rebuttal. As her character declared, "First and foremost, I’m a mom, and like any mom, I’m going to do a pivot out of nowhere into a shockingly violent story about sex trafficking." The source of the story, which was misattributed to the Biden administration but occurred in another time and place, was cheekily acknowledged by Johansson's Britt, "Rest assured, every detail about it is real except the year, where it took place, and who was president when it happened," as stated by the Deadline.

The setting of Britt's speech—a pristine kitchen—was not spared from the sharp edge of satire either. In the "SNL" rendition, Johansson remarks about the backdrop, "Kitchens are where families have the hard conversations like the one we’ll have now about how mommy freaked out the entire country." That's besides attempting to sell viewers a diamond necklace in what was described as full QVC mode, according to Deadline.
