Druski Performs Elizabeth Holmes Parody in Saturday Night Live Sketch
Comedian Druski appeared on Saturday Night Live, portraying a version of Elizabeth Holmes in a sketch that satirized the Theranos founder and included various other comedy segments.
Comedian Druski made his hosting debut on Saturday Night Live, featuring a sketch titled “Dru Can See Everything.” In the segment, Druski played a version of Elizabeth Holmes, portrayed by Jane Wickline, and her husband Billy Evans, played by Ben Marshall, who seek his help to produce a documentary. Druski responded to Holmes’s request to appear ordinary with a joke, saying he could not.
The sketch also referenced a well-known interview between Holmes and Nathan Fielder, with Druski delivering a line that echoed the original conversation. Rather than casting another actress for Holmes, Druski performed the role himself, using makeup to resemble the Theranos founder.
Other sketches in the episode included a mock news panel called “Washington in Focus,” a phone-store purchase scenario with Marcello Hernandez, a birthday-party sketch, a parody fitness-service commercial, and a musical number involving several cast members. The show closed with a variety of guest appearances, including Stone, James Talarico, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Walton Goggins, Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler.
