Trump’s Unpopular Choice: Jeanine Pirro Faces Criticism After SNL's Jabs About Her Drinking On TV

President Donald Trump’s Cabinet, filled with Fox News figures and relatively inexperienced allies, has consistently inspired “Saturday Night Live” sketches. The recent nomination of Jeanine Pirro, a former judge and Fox News host, as interim U.S. attorney for D.C. offers fresh material. Previously mockingly dubbed "Judge Box of Wine," Pirro has been accused of on-air intoxication. In a recent skit, she was humorously portrayed by Cecily Strong, introduced by Trump, played by James Austin Johnson, as "one of the loudest people I know." The sketch took a humorous turn when Pirro revealed a bottle of wine instead of files. Critics have long commented on potential drinking issues, including allegations of noted incidents linking Pirro to excessive drinking. Her appointment raised eyebrows amid ongoing jokes and skepticism about her capabilities.
