Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large “Saturday Night Live” opened its third episode of the season by taking on Jan. 6 committee hearings, starting  Kenan Thompson as United States Representative Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS).

And one person will suffer the consequences: Me. You might be wondering what makes me so tough. And I asked you who was your dad? … You could say I have big Dick Cheney energy.”
