Cecily Strong Returns to SNL as Jeanine Pirro Shocks Colin Jost with Wine-Spitting Comedy Sketch
Cecily Strong made a surprise comeback to Saturday Night Live this weekend reprising her iconic role as Jeanine Pirro in a wildly entertaining Weekend Update segment. The crowd erupted with laughter when Strong's Pirro splashed wine all over Colin Jost who appeared dressed as US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in a twist-filled parody.
The sketch opened with James Austin Johnson portraying former President Donald Trump who introduced Strong’s character with enthusiasm announcing her fictional appointment as the acting US Attorney for Washington D.C. “Jeanine will be the newest addition to my incredible team in my administration” he said.
Strong delivered a characteristically over-the-top performance as Pirro responding with “And what a team Mr. President. I’m so proud to be part of this group full of Russian assets booze hounds and people famous for the little baby animals they’ve killed.”
Continuing in her signature style Strong’s Pirro addressed viewers with a theatrical declaration “That’s right the district or as the locals call it Chocolate City. So to all you soul sisters and brothers put the word out on the street there’s a bad new mama jama laying down the law getting down in funky town looking fine and sipping wine!”
The skit reached its comedic climax when Colin Jost burst in with a dramatic “Surprise!” playing Strong’s “old drinking buddy” Pete Hegseth. Pirro responded instinctively by hilariously spitting a mouthful of wine straight into his face creating a classic SNL moment.
As the sketch closed the mock-Trump asked Jost’s Hegseth “Have you been drinking again?” tying the punchline to the satirical themes of the segment.
Fans were thrilled to see Strong’s return and quickly took to social media to praise the performance. One viewer wrote “I had my fingers crossed Cecily Strong would make a cameo on SNL as Jeanine Pirro dousing Colin Jost with wine and Lorne did not disappoint.” Another fan exclaimed “I gasped loudly when Cecily Strong walked out!

Blake Lively to Testify Against Justin Baldoni in March 2026 Trial Amid Allegations of Retaliation and Misconduct
Hollywood star Blake Lively is preparing to take the witness stand in the highly anticipated March 2026 trial against actor and director Justin Baldoni. According to her attorney Mike Gottlieb Lively will testify in court as the legal proceedings unfold surrounding claims of workplace misconduct and retaliation tied to their 2024 collaboration It Ends With Us.
Lively who rose to global fame with Gossip Girl and starred in Another Simple Favor recently broke her silence on the issue during her appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers acknowledging her legal battle publicly for the first time. Her legal team has since confirmed that she intends to share her full story in court. “The ultimate moment for a plaintiff’s story to be told is at trial,” her lawyer said in an interview with PEOPLE. “Of course she’s going to testify.”
Gottlieb also revealed that several key witnesses are expected to support Lively’s case including individuals who allegedly witnessed inappropriate behavior on the film set. These testimonies will play a central role in backing her claims of sexual harassment and subsequent retaliation.
While public curiosity grows around whether Lively’s husband Ryan Reynolds will also testify no official comment has been made regarding his involvement. Meanwhile the legal team emphasized the importance of focusing on the key issue—alleged retaliation against Lively for raising concerns about sexual harassment. “There have been distractions put up to deflect attention from the core issue” Gottlieb stated “which is the campaign of retaliation launched after Ms. Lively came forward.”
The lawsuit stems from Lively’s accusations against Baldoni and his production company Wayfarer Studios following their joint work on the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel. In response Baldoni denied the allegations and filed a $400 million countersuit against Lively her husband their publicist Leslie Sloane and Vision PR Inc. citing defamation civil extortion and more.
As both sides prepare for the 2026 trial the case continues to attract widespread attention with legal experts and fans watching closely for the next developments in what is shaping up to be one of Hollywood’s most significant courtroom showdowns.
Tom Cruise Rumored to Be on Track for British Knighthood in Recognition of His Film Legacy
Hollywood legend Tom Cruise may soon be honored with a knighthood for his extraordinary influence on the global film industry. According to emerging reports, the celebrated actor could be recognized as early as next month with the prestigious honorary title, possibly aligning with King Charles III’s upcoming 62nd birthday celebrations.
Sources close to the matter have informed the Daily Mail that Cruise’s representatives have already been contacted regarding the potential inclusion of his name in the next honours list. If confirmed, the Mission Impossible actor could be seen attending the royal ceremony alongside his longtime friend David Beckham who is also speculated to receive similar recognition.
While knighthood is traditionally reserved for British nationals, honorary titles can be granted to distinguished non-British citizens. Cruise would join a list of esteemed American figures who have previously received the title including director Steven Spielberg actress Angelina Jolie and philanthropist Bill Gates all of whom were honored by the late Queen Elizabeth II.
At 62 years old Cruise continues to be a defining figure in global cinema with a career that spans more than four decades and includes some of the most iconic roles in film history. His upcoming recognition comes shortly after being named the recipient of the British Film Institute BFI Fellowship one of the highest distinctions in UK cinema. The award celebrates his extensive contributions to film particularly his impact on British audiences and the industry at large.
This BFI Fellowship mirrors the path taken by filmmaker Christopher Nolan who was similarly honored in early 2024 before being knighted by King Charles III. Nolan best known for directing Oppenheimer Inception and The Dark Knight trilogy received the Fellowship in February and was officially knighted shortly thereafter for his achievements in the cinematic world.
Cruise’s remarkable filmography combined with his consistent global influence appears to have earned him a place in Britain’s prestigious circle of honorary knights. While no official confirmation has been released the growing anticipation suggests an imminent announcement could be on the horizon.
