“SNL” Has a Message From “President Putin”

If you’re worried about the future, “Saturday Night Live” offered some words of comfort from a shirtless Russian President Vladimir Putin. “Today, many of you are scared and marching in the streets. You are worried that the country is in the hands of this unpredictable man,” said Putin, played by Beck Bennett. “It’s not. Relax, I got this.”

He also had some advice for the new American president, regarding his very inaccurate description of the inauguration crowds. “Today you went to the CIA and said 1 million people came to see you in Washington, D.C.,” Putin said. “If you’re going to lie, don’t make it so obvious. Say you are friends with LeBron James–not that you are LeBron James.” Check out the video below!
