'Serial' Takes On The Truth Behind Santa Claus In This Hilarious SNL Spoof
Phenomenon "Serial" - the 12-episode podcast unraveling the details behind the murder of a teenager in Baltimore back in 1999 - has been fodder for tons of parodies, but Saturday Night Live produced the ultimate spoof last night, with Cecily Strong playing host Sarah Koenig attempting to solve the case of Santa Claus.
SNL's take is incredibly hilarious.
The story starts on Christmas Day, 1999, when a little boy found a "Nerf EndStrike MegaMagnus Blaster" under his tree. The boy's mom swears she didn't purchase the toy. How did it get there? Santa.
Strong has Koenig's cadence and delivery down cold. She interviews Santa - calling from the North Pole. She interviews elves who witnessed the delivery of presents.
