‘SNL’ skewers Johnny Depp, Amber Heard trial as host Selena Gomez looks for love
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation trial.“I am Nicole Wallace and you are watching MSNBC News because you have nowhere else to place your anger,” Kate McKinnon said, portraying the anchor introducing the cable network’s trial coverage.Depp, played by Kyle Mooney, took the witness stand to narrate a home security video where property manager Kenan Thompson found feces in his bed, purportedly left by Heard.“I’d like to see more of the video, because it’s funny,” the judge, played by Cecily Strong said, overruling an objection from Heard’s lawyer.“Mr. Depp are you finding this trial amusing?,” Strong asked the smirking witness.“A little yes,” he replied.“So am I,” she said, raising a glass of wine hidden behind her bench as she proposed a toast.Heard’s publicist declined to comment on the cold open when reached by The Post and Depp’s representatives did not immediately respond to a message.Singer and actress Selena Gomez, 29, made her hosting debut and told the cast she was looking for love on the show.“One reason I’m really excited to host SNL is because I’m single and I’ve heard SNL is a great place to find romance,” she said.
