SNL Cold Open: Robert De Niro’s “Mueller” Gives Ben Stiller’s “Cohen” A Lie Detector Test

Robert De Niro as “Robert Mueller” and Ben Stiller as “Michael Cohen”

Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller reprised their “Meet The Parents” roles for this week’s “Saturday Night Live” cold open, with De Niro playing Special Counsel Robert Mueller and Stiller playing Trump attorney Michael Cohen.

In a throwback to the movie’s lie detector test scene, with Mueller interrogates Cohen about his work for the President.

The skit even included lines pulled straight from the film.

Stiller: “You can milk anything with nipples.”

De Niro: “Really? I have nipples. Can you milk me, Mr. Cohen?”

When Cohen accuses Mueller of bias, Mueller denies the allegation noting that his team uses codenames for the President and his family to prevent personal opinions from coloring the work of his team.

Trump’s codename is “Stormy’s little bitch,” Ivanka Trump is “Girlfriend,” and Erik and Donald Jr. are “Two Fredos.” Cohen is tagged “Dead Man Walking.”

Says De Niro’s Mueller, “Now you listen to me, you little weasel, I don’t know what rights you think you have but you broke the law and now we’re gonna catch all you little Fokkers.”

Ben Stiller in talks to star in “I Am Chippendales” movie

Actor Ben Stiller is currently in discussions to play openly gay choreographer “Nick DeNoia” in director Alan Ball’s I Am Chippendales, a film that follows the rise of Chippendales becoming the most famous male revues of all time.

Via CinemaBlend:

If Magic Mike has taught us anything, it’s that there’s an audience for movies about male strippers. But it sounds like I Am Chippendales will go beyond the stage to dig into the founding and expansion of the Chippendales night club and the eventual controversy related to attempted arson, racketeering and murder-for-hire, linked co-owner Somen “Steve” Banerjee.

Variety says Ben Stiller (Keeping the Faith), is in negotiations to play the role of Nick DeNoia, “the former choreographer/partner who helped conceive the idea for the dance troupe with Banerjee and attorney Brian Nahin.” He also played a big part in expanding the act on a global level.

Ball — who is set to direct, produce and adapt the script based on Rodney Sheldon’s book — is one of the minds behind the TV shows Six Feet Under, True Blood and the Oscar-winning film American Beauty.

You don’t have to wait for the movie, though, folks.  Chippendales currently has two companies of the fun and flirty male revue – one permanent company at the Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, and a second company that tours the world.
