"Saturday Night Live" transported everyone back to their childhoods last night when it took on the classic educational program "Schoolhouse Rock!" for its cold open.
The show spoofed the favorite "I'm Just A Bill" segment (because who doesn't love that song?) to comment on President Obama's immigration reform. Keenan Thompson played the titular bill and explained that he's an immigration bill that "one day might become a law." But then Obama showed up and shoved poor Bill down the steps of Capital Hill. In walked a new part of the kids' segment: the Executive Order.
Bobby Moynihan's Executive Order, or as Obama says, an "easier way to get things done around here," had no idea that he's granting legal status to five million immigrants. "Oh my god, I didn't have time to read myself!" Moynihan said in shock.
Check out the full sketch above and feel nostalgic for the days a substitute teacher would pop "Schoolhouse" into the VHS player.
