“Ha ha, you’re out there, Ben,” another character responds. “You’re crazy, man.”

The skit pokes fun at some of the alleged inconsistencies in Carson’s life story, as well as some of his more outlandish political analogies (frequent comparisons to the Third Reich), and dubious scientific claims. The skit also repeatedly notes the size of Carson’s eyes, and his lack of a large degree of visible emotion, despite claiming to have had of a violent, fast temper as a child and teenager.

“He’s mad now,” another character says to others’ surprise.

One character says, “Really? He’s angry? Really?”

“I am hot with rage,” the Carson character deadpans.

The skit then continues into an elaborated riff with Carson and “Black Jesus,” with the Jesus character expressing concern about some of Carson’s claims and political comparisons, replete with disclaimers at certain junctures iterating to the audience that these assertions are things that Carson once actually said.

“Everything Black Jesus said came true,” the Carson character says. “I became a respected surgeon and a multimillionaire, all in America that today is very much like Nazi Germany.”

“Ben, you crazy,” the Jesus character responds. This ‘SNL’ episode was hosted by Elizabeth Banks and was notable because of its sudden proximity in time to Friday’s Paris attacks.

The show scrapped its traditional humorous “cold open” and replaced it with a bilingual message in both English and French from cast member Cecily Strong.

“Paris is the City of Light,” Strong says. “And here in New York City, we know that light will never go out.”

Host Banks closed the show by saying, “God bless Paris.”
