Saturday Night Live Parody of Professional Golf Event Ensures No Animals Were Injured

SNL skit spoofs pro golf event, no animals were harmed in the process


The 50th season of Saturday Night Live is underway and the latest episode featured a spoof of a professional golf tournament.

SNL’s fictional Golf Network had “anchors” Chet Duffy (played by Mikey Day) and Amy Clairmont (portrayed by Heidi Gardner) calling the action at the Oakmont Classic.

In the skit, golfer Brady Knoll tees off and hits a bird. Randy Johnson would be proud. Knoll later takes down a bald eagle nest, a snapping turtle, and a squirrel.

Knoll was played by comedian Nate Bargatze, who is an avid golfer.

Alas, no real animals were harmed in the production of this silliness.
