Scandal - SNL

A recent college grad (Lena Dunham) starts working for Olivia Pope (Sasheer Zamata) and feels overwhelmed by how fast and skilled Olivia's team is, as well as being awed with Olivia's relationship with the President (Taran Killam). [Season 39, 2014]

"Harrison, I'm gonna need you to go to Mexico."

"Already went. The ambassador's wife is bugged."

I love scandal, but I've had the exact same questions as Kelsey while watching the show.

As a fan of Scandal, I can confirm that this is a pretty accurate spoof.

[dynky]

Strangely accurate representation of the show

This was hilarious, one of the best skits I've seen in a really long time. Fitz touching Liv was so hilarious and spot on.

"so yeah, I'm really sorry your boyfriend is the president" oh my god, lololololololol

[margaritam.]

How long will it take to decrypt this?
24 hours.
I need it in 1 minute.
Done.


That's basically how every crime movie/series works.

I haven't watched Scandal, but this reminds me of pretty much every investigation and heist movie and show I've seen.

The face acting is so good in this one. I swear. Jay and Beck could literally have no lines, and I would recognize them from the show. They’re all amazing. And that Fitz/Liv scene was hilarious. The writing is spoofed so well.

Never seen a full episode of Scandal but this sketch was really hilarious.

"Olivia, I feel like you always walk faster than I run even though you're always dressed for like a formal wedding"

“You walk faster than I run and you’re always dressed like you’re going to a formal wedding” lmfao

[JasonB]

Flaw-less! Dying in my chair right now. When Fitz touched Olivia, I just lost it!

[JordanjamesX]

the girl playing Olivia pope is awesome!

[emmagrove]

This sketch made me realize that what looks like snappy, fast-paced, intelligent writing in movies and shows like this is actually lazy, all-too-convenient writing.

[eljayexplorer]

Aidy would’ve played the hell out of that part

[CDB-iwed]

"You can't win me back, because I'm not a prize at a state fair!"

I wish I had that self-confidence. Phenomenal little line lol

[christophercollins]

Lena’s face at the start, the dumbfounded, mouth agape look, is one of the best facial expressions I’ve seen on snl. It’s absolutely perfect.
