‘SNL’: Druski Dons Whiteface as Elizabeth Holmes in ‘You Can See Everything’ Parody
by Marlow Stern · VarietyFollowing a busy cold open that saw Texas Senator-elect James Talarico overshadow Donald Trump and a monologue crashed by his future movie co-star Emma Stone, “SNL” host Druski — who made history as the first digital content creator to preside over the show (who had yet to achieve crossover success, a la Issa Rae and Quinta Brunson) — got to finally flex his sketch-comedy chops in a parody of the Nathan Fielder/Elizabeth Holmes docu-phenomenon “You Can See Everything.”

Yes, prior to Fielder’s stay in Billy Evans (played by Ben Marshall) and Holmes’ (the talented Jane Wickline) home, they were visited by another comedian: Druski.
The trio re-enacted a number of scenes from the doc in a new trailer for “Druski Sees Everything,” including the moment where Evans snatched away the bowl as Holmes was beating eggs (because she wasn’t doing it hard enough to his liking) and that uncomfortable staredown.
“We’re so glad you’re here,” offered Wickline’s Holmes, replicating her deep voice. “I just want people to see me as an ordinary person. Can you do that, Druski?”
“Based on what I’ve seen so far, I’m going to go ahead and say, ‘No.’ Y’all got some of the weirdest, freakiest vibe I’ve done ever seen,” cracked Druski, before snatching away the bowl and beating the eggs himself.
Then came the stare-down sequence.
“You being real right now?” asked Druski.
“I’m always being real,” replied Holmes.
“Hold up — you trying to f*ck me?” Druski said.
Holmes nodded slightly. Cue Druski: “I ain’t mad at it. I just… I wanna try something,” closing each of her glaring eyes shut with his fingers.
Later on in the trailer, they did the stare-down scene once more — only this time, Druski was in whiteface as Holmes, facing off against Wickline’s Holmes. The digital creator has gone viral a number of times in the past for his whiteface sketches, from playing a rowdy redneck to Erika Kirk.
“I’m always being real,” said Druski’s Holmes.
“No, I’m always being real,” fired back Wickline’s Holmes.
“I could do this all day, b*tch,” exclaimed Druski’s Holmes.
The trailer also included a parody review quote attributed to Variety: “Somehow, this makes Nathan Fielder seem like the reasonable choice.”
