Dana Carveygot preachy and took viewers back toChurch Chaton the latest episode ofSaturday Night Live.

During the Dec. 7 cold open, theWayne’s Worldstar, 69, reprised one of his best-knownSNLroles as the Church Lady and offered some stinging commentary on the year 2024, which she called “the most satanic year in history.”

“Welcome toChurch Chat. I’m the Church Lady,” Carvey told the audience. “You know, it’s great to be back to ring out the end of 2024, the most satanic year in history. Instead of Mother Mary, little girls are looking up to the Hawk Tuah girl. Well, you know what I say, instead of hawk tuah-y, you need to walk tuah-y to a church.”

Carvey continued, “Have you seenWicked? It’s just likeThe Wizard of Oz, but instead of saying, ‘Lions, tigers and bears, oh my,’ they say, ‘Lions, tigers and sluts, oh yes.’ A little bit different. Everywhere you look, you’ve got 11-year-olds dressing up like that vixen Sabrina Carpenter. Well you know who was the best carpenter: Jesus.”

Carvey’s Church Lady then poked fun at Gaetz’s recent scandals. “Matt, let’s see if I have this straight. You were involved in some little sexual peccadillos? They wrote a whole report about it, but somehow we never got to see it, did we? Isn’t that convenient?,” she said.

“For me it is, yes,” replied Gaetz, as Carey responded, “You better repent Matt. There’s 17 days left to Christmas."

“You had me at 17,” Gaetz exclaimed in response..

Next up was Spade, 60, with his impression of Biden, who said, “Hi Church Lady! I haven’t been here in a while. I’ve been laying low a little bit.”

“That’s okay, at least you haven’t been doing a podcast,” Carvey’s character teased.

“Some people aren’t too happy about your pardon,” the Church Lady then said, before she continued to make jabs about Biden’s recent exploits.

However, Spade’s Biden quipped, “Well, they singled me out just because of who I am. Much like Trump, they went after me because of my last name and all the illegal things I did.”

​​“Well, isn’t that special?!” the Church Lady then screamed.
