Watch Omarosa Get Removed from White House Premises In Hilarious SNL Skit

Posted byBy Kiersten Willis | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Anyone who has paid attention to the Donald Trump administration recognizes that there have been lots of exits in the almost one year since he took office. “Saturday Night Live” took on that revolving door Saturday, Dec. 16 and Omarosa Maginult Newman’s impending departure was center stage.

The skit saw Alec Baldwin’s Donald Trump alongside Melania Trump, portrayed by Cecily Strong, to honor former Trump staffers.

“We’re gonna also remember all the haters and losers I destroyed this year and we’re going to hang ornaments with their faces on it we’re calling the tree of shame,” SNL’s Trump says.

Kate McKinnon’s Kellyanne Conway appeared to hang an ornament for former FBI Director James Comey. Then, Aidy Bryant appeared as Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who hung an ornament for the man she replaced, Sean Spicer, and another one for ex-Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci. She was followed by Beck Bennett’s Vice President Mike Pence, who hung an ornament for former National Security Advisor Mike Flyn.

But the most hilarious moment came when Omarosa, played by Leslie Jones, wanted to be let in the White House. While the real-life director of communications claimed she resigned, reports said she was fired and officials escorted her off the premises.

“Hey! Let me in!” Jones shouts.

“Quick! Someone turn off the lights!” Baldwin says.

“Too late!” Jones responds. “I see you in there, Donald! No one kicks Omarosa from the White House!”

But security quickly shows up to have her removed, only for her to show up at the end with a boombox overhead blaring “The Apprentice theme song.

“Take me back!” she begs.

Online, folks found the sketch to be a riot.

Others applauded Leslie Jones’ portrayal.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
