As the world eagerly watches the unfolding chapters in the Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith saga, the controversy seems to extend endlessly. From personifying ‘couple goals’ to becoming the objects of ridicule, the couple has officially done it all. After 26 years of marriage, their now seemingly crumbling relationship has amused many. While the internet continues to troll the duo with memes, another player has entered the arena. 

The comedy series SNL has a tendency to scoop in on the latest celebrity ongoings to generate their comedic content. So, it was a given that the show was going to dabble in a Smith family skit sometime now. Finally, it has delivered just that by depicting Jada Pinkett Smith’s recent demeanor in their own style. As seen in this X (formerly known as Twitter) clip, they attempted to imitate every facet of the 52-year-old. 

Even the clothing worn by Ego Nwodim, who was portraying the Red Table Talk host, resembled that of Pinkett Smith’s which she wore during her initial interview that got the ball rolling. Besides the ensemble, the jokes reflected the topics that her interviews have covered recently. While the content seemed to mock the mother of 2, it was not far from SNL’s typical style of roasting.

Well, it definitely solved its purpose of engaging the Twitterati, who were left in stitches because of it. The majority of the viewers saw the resemblance between the SNL character and Smith.

SNL’s Jada Pinkett Smith vs Will Smith skit leaves netizens amused

Last week, SNL also mentioned the Smith family drama during its famous weekend update that the series is known for. However, this two-and-a-half-minute-long video was much more detailed than that. Well, netizens who came across the X post noticed those very details and one even deemed them “accurate.” Another user agreed that those who have watched the drama closely would find it “funny”.  

Some felt that the show had not delivered a realistic portrayal of Jada Pinkett Smith.

Others commented that while the clip was funny, Nwodim did not quite do justice to the part. However, one user said that she was “hilarious” despite that.

Regardless of the missing components, it seems like the sketch comedy show hit a chord with audiences with their depiction of a celebrity once again!
