John Mulaney is giving Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a piece of his mind on "SNL."
The comedian devoted several minutes of his "Saturday Night Live" monologue on Nov. 14 to roasting the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Kennedy came up after Mulaney joked that whenever he is with his young son's friends, "there's always at least one little kid who, for some reason, has a very scratchy or hoarse voice." Mulaney imitated the voice of one of these kids, before he turned it into an impression of Kennedy. The Health and Human Services secretary has spasmodic dysphonia, a neurological speech disorder that causes involuntary spasms.
"My father was a good man, and I'm a lousy man, but I have same name," Mulaney said. "Am I good if I have same name as father?
No, please, let me be in charge of your bones and your tummy."
Transitioning back into his own voice, Mulaney continued to hammer Kennedy by saying that "no one likes that guy anymore," including former supporters. "It's so funny. What a predicament to be in. I had right-wing friends, they used to be down with him. No one likes him."
Mulaney went on to mock Kennedy's work as an environmental lawyer, joking that "he would just join cases late if they were about to be successful." The comedian also noted he has crossed paths with Kennedy.
"I've known that dude for over a decade," Mulaney said, explaining he used to perform at benefits for Riverkeeper, a non-profit that works to keep the Hudson River clean. Kennedy worked with the organization, so Mulaney recalled that after one year's benefit, he received a voicemail from Kennedy thanking him for his involvement. Upon listening to the voicemail, Mulaney exclaimed, "I got butt-dialed by the mom from 'Goonies'!"
This isn't Mulaney's first time mocking Kennedy: He previously roasted him during a performance at the Hollywood Bowl in May as part of the Netflix Is a Joke festival.
Mulaney hosted the Nov. 14 episode of "SNL" for his seventh time, with musical guest Phoebe Bridgers. He was formerly a writer for the show.
Prior to his Kennedy bit, the comic opened his monologue with a joke about how he has decided his dad has autism, which has "cleared up everything" about his childhood. "He doesn't know he's autistic. He'll find out right as this airs," he said. Mulaney also joked that everything baby boomers say about Gen Z is actually true of them.
"They're always like, 'Kids are so addicted to their devices,' " he said. "Try to take an iPad away from your parents!"
