Too soon and not funny.

“Saturday Night Live’s” opening bit this weekend used beau-killer Jodi Arias (Nasim Pedrad, above) and alleged Cleveland kidnapper Ariel Castro (Bobby Moynihan, below) to parody the Benghazi congressional hearings, in a sketch that went over like a lead balloon. The characters were called as witnesses by a GOPer (Bill Hader) who wanted to pump up the hearings’ TV ratings. The NBC studio audience was clearly not amused.
