Houston Rice University confirmed the name in a "Saturday Night Live" sketch for a discussion of Trump's impeachment last night. The "Inside the Beltway" sketch contains a political debate on the impact of impeachment, where Aidy Bryant is the star of the show Woody Harrelson, a reporter for the Fort-Worth Star, and Cecily Strong is a reporter at Dallas Morning, an African-American at Rice University. News as Research Chair and Kenan Thompson.

In the sketch, the show's organizer and two reporters argued that this political moment "feels like a real turning point for President Trump," and Thomson's cynical professor character continues, "Americans understand the gravity of the scandal." "Nothing will happen."


The sketch then goes back to President Trump's other important moments, including the publication of the Muller report and several pre-election scandals, at which point journalists argued that this was a "true turning point" and "there's nothing going to happen". Repeat, "He will win".



A lot of laughter in the sketch came from the cast itself when the cast jumped into the sketch on the beat too early to help change Bryant's costume. Due to this mistake Bryant lost his personality, and she and the cast laughed through the lines at the last minute of the sketch.
