Saturday Night Live has shifted from its typical politically-charged cold opens to tackle one of the biggest stories today: the college admissions scandal.

In the sketch, a group of prisoners (Kate McKinnon, Kenan Thompson, Pete Davidson, Chris Redd, Michael Keaton, Kyle Mooney) discuss why they got arrested.

Kate McKinnon played Loughlin who announced that her crime was that she "paid 500 grand to a women's crew coach to say my daughter was good at rowing. I'm loco."

Watch the sketch below!

Saturday Night Live (SNL) is an late-night live television variety show created by Lorne Michaels and developed by Dick Ebersol. The show premiered on NBC on October 11, 1975, under the original title NBC's Saturday Night. The show's comedy sketches, which parody contemporary culture and politics, are performed by a large and varying cast of repertory and newer cast members.
