"Saturday Night Live" had its turn with the Jan. 6 committee on Saturday, featuring Kenan Thompson (in character as Rep. Bennie Thompson, the committee's chairman) saying, “We assembled a team of monotone nerds to do a PowerPoint.”
Zoom out: The committee voted on Thursday to subpoena former President Trump after showing footage of leaders of both parties huddling in secret locations on Jan. 6, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi calling Vice President Mike Pence to check in on his wellbeing.
President Biden, on the campaign trail on Saturday, called that footage "devastating" but said he hadn't spoken with Attorney General Merrick Garland.

Kenan Thompson as Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.)
