From scandals to unfortunate political situations, the one thing that has helped lighten the mood during these times is Saturday Night Live.

Since 1975, SNL has been one of NBC's most iconic and successful shows. Movies such as The Blues Brothers and Wayne's World, have been created from skits featured on the show. SNL has remained a beacon to the American people with a message that says, "if we can laugh at our problems together, then we can make them less scary."

In recent days, the show had no shortage of political drama to become inspired for skits. Whether its lies being uncovered or drama from political scenes, there is always something to talk about.

This past month, SNL has featured a lot of new content. When it comes to the best skits, there are quite a few to choose from. In the list below, we explore some of the moments that had the best lasting impressions on us.
