Saturday Night Live presented a new comedy sketch that poked fun at the nation’s most prominent technology executives. The cold open featured a fictional CIA briefing where CEOs such as Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg were warned about potential deception by women who might be spies.
Sketch highlights
John Mulaney, serving as the night’s host, played a CIA guide who warned, “America needs you to learn the difference between a woman who would actually want to have sex with you and a woman who is clearly a spy.” The sketch then introduced Bowen Yang portraying former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who was humorously described as having resigned amid rumors of extramarital affairs, including one with a suspected Chinese spy.
Andrew Dismukes, playing Mark Zuckerberg, responded to the CIA’s warning with the line, “Never date a human woman.” Peter Thiel, portrayed by James Austin Johnson, defended the tech leaders, saying, “We do a lot for this country. Name one time technology has let us down.” Mulaney countered by citing recent nationwide flight disruptions and a global Microsoft outage.
Additional parody segments
The episode also featured a musical parody titled “Little Park of Horrors,” which spoofed Broadway productions and imagined a city banning horse‑drawn carriages. The sketch culminated with a comedic rendition of Mary Todd Lincoln, performed by Yang, singing about the high cost of a ride through the Lincoln Tunnel.
Bowen Yang, a former SNL writer and cast member who left the show in December 2025, has been praised for his versatility, having debuted on Broadway in September as Lincoln in Cole Escola’s “Oh, Mary!” The night’s musical guest was Phoebe Bridgers.
SNL continues to air on NBC, a division of NBCUniversal, which also owns NBC News.
