«Breaking News» SNL tackles R Kelly's unhinged interview with VERY patient Gayle King

Saturday Night Live pushed the boundaries with a parody of this week's unhinged CBS interview with R Kelly. 

Kenan Thompson took on the role of the embattled R&B star opposite a very patient Gayle King played by Leslie Jones.

The pair discussed the allegations against Kelly in real life, as the artist is facing 10 counts of sexual abuse involved four women, three of whom were underage at the time. 

'Lawyer was telling me "no", but my ego was telling me "yes",' Thompson's Kelly says. 

He also repeatedly asks to be referred to as 'victim' and leans into the fact that the 52-year-old is illiterate.

Saturday Night Live kicked off its latest episode with a parody of R Kelly's CBS interview this week. Kenan Thompson played the embattled R&B singer opposite Leslie Jones as Gayle King

Kelly and King pair discussed the allegations against Kelly in real life, as the artist is facing 10 counts of sexual abuse involved four women, three of whom were underage at the time

Chris Redd played Kelly's crisis manager, who stepped in to pour him a glass of water with a McDonald's label in the middle of the interview

 

The show came hours after Kelly was released from jail when an anonymous donor paid the $181,000 he owed in child support. 

It poked fun at the fact that Kelly was seen stopping by a McDonald's after his release as Thompson's version made several mentions of his financial problems. 

In the middle of the interview, Kelly's 'crisis manager' - played by Chris Redd - steps in to pour him a cup of water from a bottle with a McDonald's logo and assures him that the interview is going great. 

Just as Kelly had done in the real interview, Thompson stood up and waved his hands exaggeratedly as he defended himself to King, who was praised for keeping her composure when the actual outburst went down.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
