Saturday Night Live's latest episode featured a comedic take on the documentary "You Can See Everything, which tells the story of Elizabeth Holmes and her infamous Theranos scandal.

The show's spoof was led by comedian Druski in his SNL debut, who took on the role of Elizabeth Holmes with Jane Wickline playing the part as well. The skit also featured Ben Marshall portraying Billy Evans, Holmes' husband.

In the sketch, before Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim were confirmed to direct the documentary, Druski was initially set to be a part of it. This twist added an extra layer of humor to the already absurd portrayal.

The mock documentary's origin story was cleverly woven into the skit, with Wickline's Holmes saying It's really important to us that people find out who Liz really is, you know. The scene showcased Druski's deadpan delivery as he responded to the faux Holmes' plea, leaving no doubt about his opinion on her persona.

The mockumentary style of You Can See Everything was playfully mocked on SNL by recreating a memorable scene from the film where Elizabeth Holmes conversed with a filmmaker about potential deception.

A satirical jab was made at the doc's length, humorously suggesting that Druski's own project would be released in 1,000 parts on Instagram Reels. The show poked fun at the idea of Druski's tape being broken down into such a lengthy series titled 'Crazy White Lady Skit'.

A nod to Druski's own popular mock audition show Coulda Been Love was made when Marshall's Evans performed an original song, stating My name is Billy and I make eight figures. However, the skit cut him off before he could continue.

The SNL cast continued to poke fun at the world of documentary filmmaking by having Druski transform into Elizabeth Holmes on stage. Prosthetics were used to bring the character to life, with a voiceover stating And just like Fielder, Druski used reenactments to better understand his subjects.

The impersonation of Elizabeth Holmes by Druski continued throughout the SNL episode, as he and Wickline engaged in a peculiar conversation. Repeating phrases like I'm always being real, they seemed to mirror the Theranos founder's infamous interviews. Druski's portrayal was so convincing that it raised questions about his ability to distinguish between reality and his character.

As host of the evening, Druski had previously warned the audience that he might not adhere to certain guidelines set by SNL producers. He stated that he couldn't promise to avoid using profanity or wearing whiteface makeup, which some viewers found unsettling. The comedian's words seemed to hint at a possible disregard for social norms and conventions.

In another instance of Druski's Holmes impersonation, he claimed to be about to show Wickline one of the most famous comedy videos ever made. Instead, a viral clip of Druski dancing appeared on screen, leaving some viewers wondering if this was indeed what he intended to share. The transition was seamless, and it added to the overall surreal quality of the segment.

The evening's events were also marked by an unexpected guest appearance by Emma Stone, who crashed Druski's monologue. The two actors will soon be seen together in the Universal Pictures rom-com The Catch, which is scheduled for release on May 21, 2027.

The latest episode of Saturday Night Live featured a surprise cameo from Emma Stone, who was playing Elizabeth Holmes in a spoof sketch called You Can See Everything. In a humorous exchange, her co-star referenced a new movie they had just worked on together, where they play love interests - although it's clear that wasn't the original intention.

The unexpected appearance of Texas senator-elect James Talarico added to the show's comedic momentum. He made a surprise call for change in SNL's cold opens, suggesting that people are tired of the same old format and want something new. In response, James Austin Johnson's Donald Trump quipped that he would continue doing the shtick infinity" times.

The sketch ended with a nod to their upcoming film, which will see the two actors play love interests in real life - at least on screen.
