‘SNL’ pokes fun at Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith drama

The Jada Pinkett Smith marriage circus made a stop at “Saturday Night Live” — well, sort of.

During the show’s “Weekend Update,” Pinkett Smith (portrayed by Ego Nwodim) joined anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che to continue to dish family secrets.

“Sorry if I seem a little tired,” Nwodim, 35, said as the “Girls Trip” star. “I’ve been on the ‘Today’ show 14 times in three days.” 

When Che, 40, asked Nwodim about the state of her marriage to Will Smith, she responded, “The day we got married, I knew there was going to be trouble. At our wedding, someone stood up and objected.”

She confessed that she was the one who objected.

“But it’s OK,” she continued, “because 23 years later, Will and I are still a unit. And it’s because we have learned that the secret to a successful marriage is: Never go to bed happy.”

A seemingly confused Che then noted, “You describe your marriage as ‘brutiful, as in brutal and beautiful.’”

Not missing a beat, Nwodim replied that other people describe it as ‘brunhealthy.’”

“Nothing makes me feel stronger than publicly cucking my millionaire husband,” Nwodim added.

The Post reached out to Pinkett Smith, 52, for comment.

“SNL’s” skit comes less than two weeks after Pinkett Smith told “Today” show anchor Hoda Kotb that she and the “Fresh Prince” alum have been living separate lives for the last seven years.

“I think by the time we got to 2016 we were just exhausted with trying,” the actress explained while promoting her new memoir, “Worthy.” “I think we were both kind of just still stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be.”

“I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce. We will work through whatever,” she continued. “And I just haven’t been able to break that promise.”

Talking to People, Pinkett Smith said that she and her “Men in Black” hubby have “been doing some really heavy-duty work together.”

“We just got deep love for each other, and we are going to figure out what that looks like for us,” she said.

“Sorry if I seem a little tired,” Nwodim said as the “Girls Trip” star. “I’ve been on the ‘Today’ show 14 times in three days.”

The “Men in Black” star broke his silence about the ordeal last week via an email to the New York Times, saying the revelations “kind of woke [him] up,” and Pinkett Smith was more “resilient, clever and compassionate than [he’d] understood.” 

“When you’ve been with someone for more than half of your life, a sort of emotional blindness sets in,” wrote Smith, 55. “And you can all too easily lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties.”

Pinkett Smith said she refrained from going public with the couple’s relationship status because they were “not ready.”

They were “still trying to figure out between the two of us how to be in partnership. … In regards to, how do we present that to people? We hadn’t figured that out,” she reasoned.

As their marriage continues to be laid bare, Pinkett Smith claims she and the “Summertime” singer won’t be divorcing anytime soon.
