Bowen Yang roasts George Santos on 'SNL' by dressing up as a drag queen to mock the embattled congressman's muddled background

• GOP Rep.George Santos has come under fire for misrepresenting his background.
• SNL took the chance to roast him on Saturday with Bowen Yang dressing up in drag.

SNL's Bowen Yang took aim at GOP Rep. George Santos by dressing up in drag to roast the New York lawmaker and the maelstrom he has caused in Washington over the few past weeks.

Yang began the sketch by portraying Santos as an NFL reporter covering the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants game on Saturday for Fox.

The hosts of the segment joked that they hired Santos because of his impressive resume, which included a Heisman Trophy, and "more championships than Tom Brady." They also joked that Santos was the first NFL player to lead the league in passing and rushing yards.

"I'm sort of the real Bo Jackson. And I'm proud to be the first African American quarterback to ever dunk a football," Yang as Santos said.

Santos has been under fire for lying about his education and job history before his election to Congress. He also claimed that his mother had died in the 9/11 terrorist acts but it appears she was not even in the country.

Recently, a photo of Santos dressed as a drag queen named Kitara Ravache and competing in a show in 2008 has also recently surfaced. Santos has denied ever doing drag. but on Saturday also told TMZ, "I was young and had fun at a festival."

In the skit, Yang's Santos also denied ever being a drag queen.

"Whoever did, though, was very, very good at it and won many, many pageants," Yang as Santos said about Kitara.

At the end of the skit, Yang reappears dressed as the drag queen but denied being Santos, before listing off more of his field stats which included "26 Death Drops, 19 Duck Walks and infinity Wigs Snatched."

"I'm not George," Yang said, "I'm Kitara."

SNL ended the clip with comedian Mikey Day making a pointed roast of Santos.

"George Santos represents America and can vote on wars," Day said.
