Roy Moore's Sex Scandal Is Called Into Question in 'SNL' Cold Open

Roy Moore gets the 'SNL' treatment in tonight's cold open.

SNL returns this weekend and it is an exciting one. Tiffany Haddish is making her debut as the first black female comedian hosting while Taylor Swift will perform new songs from her recently released album, Reputation.

The 43rd season of SNL has featured Alec Baldwin in cold opens who has been nailing his impersonation of President Donald Trump. Tonight, Baldwin didn’t appear as Trump this time, but there was still much to address in politics. Mikey Day was Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, who has made disturbing headlines over allegedly initiating a sexual encounter with a 14-year-old. Vice President Mike Pence (Beck Bennett) advises Moore to step aside, and he later gets some advice by Jeff Sessions (Kate McKinnon) on how to navigate that.

But when Sessions and Moore are alone, Sessions starts to heap praise on his creepiness. According to him, Moore is "too Alabama" for Alabama.

Check it out above.
