John Mulaney roasts ‘dumbass’ Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in ‘SNL’ monologue: ‘No one likes him’

John Mulaney spent a solid chunk of his seventh Saturday Night Live monologue going nuclear on US Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The bit began with Mulaney talking about hosting his children’s friends, and how one child always seems to have an old man voice, not unlike Kennedy’s.

From there, Mulaney launched into a full-on impression of Kennedy, rasping, “Stop the science! Robitussin, when taken during menstruation, will cause telekinesis.”

Mulaney then talked about how “no one likes [Kennedy] anymore,” not even his right-wing friends who used to approve of Kennedy.

“You dumbass, your thing can’t be the measles,” Mulaney said. “That can’t be your project, giving people the measles.”

After riffing on Kennedy’s poor health track record and his inability to live up to his father’s legacy, Mulaney explained that he knew Kennedy during his early days in New York (“He wasn’t hard to know”). He skewered everything from his work as an environmental lawyer to his organization Riverkeeper, which was in charge of keeping the Hudson River — “whose native fish is tied-off used condom” — clean.

Mulaney recalled how he and other comedians would perform at the annual Riverkeeper benefit, and how he once received a garbled voicemail from Kennedy thanking him for the performance.

While Mulaney described bombing at the benefit, this SNL monologue had the opposite effect. Watch the full set above.
