The May 6 episode of Saturday Night Live featured a very welcome blast from the past. While watching on Saturday, I immediately got deja vu seeing cast member Sasheer Zamata appear on screen dressed as The Chief from the beloved '90s TV game show Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?

Earlier this year, the Trump adviser had made many TV appearances — and they were usually parodied on SNL — and now, the NBC sketch show is parodying her absence in the funniest way. Watch the sketch in the video below.
