Druski Parodies Elizabeth Holmes in Saturday Night Live Sketch
Comedian Druski appeared on Saturday Night Live in a sketch that satirized the Theranos documentary "You Can See Everything," portraying a fictional interview with Elizabeth Holmes.
Saturday Night Live featured comedian and actor Druski in a sketch that imagined a pre-show interview with Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, the subject of the metadocumentary "You Can See Everything." In the comedy bit, Druski’s character meets Holmes and her partner, played by Ben Marshall, and expresses immediate skepticism.
"Y’all have some of the weirdest, freakiest vibes I’ve ever seen," Druski says, before adding a whispered comment about the allegations against Holmes.
During a mock interview, Druski pretends Holmes is attempting to seduce him and attempts to close her eyes, only for them to reopen. When Holmes presents a product, Druski critiques it, comparing it unfavorably to low-cost online merchandise.
The sketch also mirrors a technique used by Nathan Fielder in the documentary, employing reenactments. Druski rehearses in front of a mirror, saying, "I just need to find somebody who can truly embody her character," before cutting to his own portrayal of Holmes. The characters exchange the line "I’m always being real," repeatedly.
The segment concludes with Druski declaring, "I could do this all day," and asserting that Holmes does not intimidate him.
