Druski said Saturday Night Live gave him two rules — no cursing and “no whiteface.” So much for that.
The internet comedian broke both rules in his SNL hosting debut on Nov. 7, by donning a wig and heavy makeup to transform into convicted fraudster Elizabeth Holmes.
But first, he had to survive hanging out with her.
In the sketch titled “Dru Can See Everything,” Druski re-created scenes from the acclaimed A24 documentary You Can See Everything to make a knockoff trailer.
The real documentary is a box office hit and follows Holmes and her partner Billy Evans in the days before she reported to prison for defrauding investors and patients.
SNL cast members Jane Wickline and Ben Marshall played the couple, who invited Druski into their home to help tell their story. Things got weird pretty quickly.
“We’re so glad you’re here,” Wickline’s Holmes told him. “I just want people to see me as an ordinary person. Can you do that, Druski?”
Unfortunately for her, Druski immediately picked up on the vibes. And they were terrible.
“Y’all got some of the weirdest, freakiest vibes I’ve done ever seen,” he told the couple.
Things got worse when Holmes showed off a version of her fraudulent Theranos blood-testing device. Druski was not impressed and gave the kind of product review nobody wants.
“Okay, listen, white girl. I’mma say this with all love, right? That’s the most Temu piece of s–t I ever seen in my life,” he said.
Then came the makeover. To recreate moments from Holmes’ life, Druski decided to play the disgraced entrepreneur himself, complete with a wig and heavy white makeup.
The transformation followed his earlier viral “Conservative Women” sketch, which drew backlash from conservatives for seemingly mocking Erika Kirk, CEO of Turning Point USA and widow of Charlie Kirk.
By the end of the SNL trailer, Druski’s documentary subjects appeared to be weirded out by his him.
“I’m gonna head on out, I’m in too deep,” he said. “My fault y’all.”
Apparently, Druski had seen enough.
