The Saturday Night Live cold open took a break from politics to riff on March Madness — more specifically how the women’s tournament has been a lot more exciting than the men’s competition.
The set up was TBS’s post-gamecoverage, with the anchors noting that 14 million people watched the the Iowa-Connecticut game, where Caitlin Clark faced Paige Bueckers.
Charles Barkley [Kenan Thompson] chimed in, “The women’s is turning up the stars. Caitlin Clark is going as for State Farm, Subway, XFinity and Nike. I’m only doing ads for three of those companies.”
Later, the anchors go to LSU coach Kim Mulkey (Heidi Gardner), who says she’s been made up to look “like the Riddler with the Talbots.”
When she wass asked about her reputation for being too tough on her players, she told them, “Ohh please. People think I’m just mean because I have resting QAnon face.”
