“I’m in the KKK now”: Mike Myers meets “Kanye West” 20 years after Katrina benefit on “SNL”

During the 50th season of “Saturday Night Live,” Mike Myers frequently appeared as Donald Trump adviser Elon Musk. However, for his last performance in the season finale, the show’s writers had Myers portray himself and revisit an uncomfortable moment from his past. This moment involved the incident where Kanye West, known as Ye, deviated from the script during a live Hurricane Katrina benefit to voice that “George Bush doesn’t care about Black people.” Myers has acknowledged that Ye’s statement was largely accurate. The sketch showcased Myers and Ye, played by cast member Kenan Thompson, stuck together in an elevator. The conversation quickly turned absurd due to Ye’s erratic behavior in recent years. Ye’s remarks included joining the KKK and questioning Myers’ heritage, to which Myers responded that he is Protestant. The elevator halts, revealing Myers’ claustrophobia, to which Ye humorously claims to have his own set of phobias.
