“Saturday Night Live” returned this week with a fresh episode hosted by actress Reese Witherspoon.
Rand Paul on a skateboard, a shirtless Marco Rubio, Carly Fiorina on motorcycle and a bass-playing Mike Huckabee were among the growing field of 2016 GOP presidential hopefuls targeted in the show’s opening segment.
However, it was “Picture Perfect,” a spoof on the classic TV game show “Pictionary,” that was getting all of the attention on social media.
In the sketch, contestant Daniel Hoffman, played by Bobby Moynihan, is handed a card with the challenge to draw “the Prophet Muhammad.”
The prompt to draw Muhammad was in reference to the attack in Garland, Texas, last week at a free speech event that featured cartoons of the Muslim prophet, the depiction of whom is prohibited in the Islamic faith.
Reaction to the sketch was mostly positive:
