Watch Britney Spears Force an Apology out of Cuomo, Carano, and Cruz on Saturday Night Live
The moral of the cold open was clear: No matter how much you screw up, it could always be worse. You could be Ted Cruz.
Feb 21, 2021
It’s been another non-stop, jam-packed, week of WTF news in the good ol’ USA. Senator Ted Cruz fled to Cancun, Andrew Cuomo covered up Coronavirus deaths, Britney Spears’ is still stuck in a conservatorship, and “Mandalorian” star Gina Corano got fired for her social media posts. Also, the weather broke Texas.
Any one of those events would be worthy of the “Saturday Night Live” cold open treatment, but instead, the show decided to pool them all together in the form of a talk show sketch hosted by cast member Chloe Fineman as a twirly, hyper Britney Spears. The show is named “Oops, You Did It Again” (named after Spears’ massive early aughts hit “Oops, I Did It Again!”), and Spears started it so “people could come on and apologize for things they’ve done wrong.”
