‘SNL’ Spoofs CNN’s Equality Town Hall with Lin-Manuel Miranda, Billy Porter, and Woody Harrelson: WATCH

Last night’s SNL’s cold open was a hilarious skewering of CNN’s Equality Town Hall on LGBT issues. Billy Porter made a guest appearance as MC, introducing the candidates–not unlike he does on POSE, while Anderson Cooper (played by “SNL” regular Alex Moffat) was the event moderator that he said was about issues affecting the LBGTQ community as well as “straight girls who make Pride all about them.”

Porter then introduced Pete Buttigieg (played by Colin Jost), calling him the “mayor of  House Booty Gig.” The question posed to Mayor Pete was about how he was “not gay in the right way.” Jost as Buttigieg said, “There is no wrong way to be gay — unless you’re Ellen this week.” Buttigieg then openly wondered why he wasn’t leading the race, considering he is a Harvard grad, a veteran, “under the legal retirement age and when I talk, I make sense.”

Moffat’s Cooper answered, “You’re a great guy, just as a friend, not the president.”

Kate McKinnon made to the stage as an energetic Elizabeth Warren, who told the crowd, “Y’all know I’m not a lesbian, but all the ingredients are there.”

Lin-Manuel Miranda then appeared as Julian Castro, who apologized for not being gay, but added, “I am Latino, which we can all agree is something.”
