\n\tSaturday Night Live<\/a> UK\u2018s cold open took aim at Prime Minister Andy Burnham<\/a>\u2018s bean stockpile with some help from a few familiar British TV personalities.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn this weekend\u2019s episode of the sketch comedy show, George Fouracres played Prime Minister Andy Burnham with Emma Sidi as Liverpool\u2019s Mayor Steve Rotheram, poking fun at the pair\u2019s Stand Up to Cancer special Friday on Celebrity Gogglebox<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs the pair channel-flipped through Channel 4, Burnham down a whole canister of Twiglets following the PM\u2019s reveal of his favorite doomsday-prepping snacks<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tLanding on Celebrity Traitors, Celeste Dring did an impression of host Claudia Winkleman. \u201cWhat happens when we take 22 celebrities who are too famous to play the game seriously or care whether or not they win, and put them in a castle? The answer: not much, to be honest,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith Jack Shep playing Graham Norton in his interview with Prince William (Freddie Meredith), the talk show host asked if it\u2019s \u201ctrue that Harry reached out this week,\u201d to which the Prince of Wales responded, \u201cShut up!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOn The Great British Bake Bake Off, Ayoade Bamgboyea played Alison Hammond, \u201cthe only person everyone in the country likes,\u201d and Larry Dean played \u201csleep paralysis demon\u201d Noel Fielding.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe cold open ended with future PM Burnham (Paddy Young) visiting his present-day counterpart and giving him the idea to advise Britons to stockpile beans<\/a> in case of a cyber attack.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis week\u2019s episode of Saturday Night Live UK<\/a> featured Cynthia Erivo as host, with musical guest Blossoms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Saturday Night Live UK\u2018s cold open took aim at Prime Minister Andy Burnham\u2018s bean stockpile with some help…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":893687,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[216767,171305,88,171306,12015,241000,92],"class_list":["post-893686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-andy-burnham","tag-celebrity-gogglebox","tag-entertainment","tag-gogglebox","tag-saturday-night-live","tag-saturday-night-live-uk","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/893686","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=893686"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/893686\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/893687"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=893686"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=893686"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=893686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
