Cecily Strong[1] had the crowd in stitches at the annual American Museum of Natural History gala with her jibes at Jeff Bezos[2], Nancy Pelosi[3] and Harvey Weinstein[4].
The “Saturday Night Live”[5] stalwart — in front of the likes of her boss Lorne Michaels, Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost, Tina Fey, Liev Schreiber and Steve Carell — noted that Amazon’s Bezos is worth $150 billion, “which is all the proof I need that there is no cure for baldness.”
Strong also said Pelosi shouldn’t be underestimated in her fight to be House Speaker. “No one gets s - - t done like an elderly liberal,” she said. “You know that every time you stand behind one at Zabar’s.”
Strong didn’t have to name Weinstein when she pointed up at the museum’s life-size blue whale and said, “My agent warned me that at one point in my career I’d have to work under a big blue whale.”
Joining in the laughter[6] were Tom Brokaw, Katie Couric, John McEnroe and “SNL” stars — Michaels is on the museum’s board — Leslie Jones, Pete Davidson and Kenan Thompson.
