The funniest, most topical sketch on SNL this week went straight to the dogs.

Patrick Ryan"Saturday Night Live" was light on political humor in Saturday's episode, save for a few scattered jokes throughout about Beto O'Rourke dropping out of the 2020 presidential race, and the cold open dedicated solely to Kate McKinnon's impression of a comically earnest Elizabeth Warren.

But despite the dog's bonafides of helping kill an Islamic State leader during a U.S. special operations raid, Conan still fielded innocuous questions such as"Are you a good boy?" and"You were involved in a terrorist raid. Was that scary for you?" "SNL" cast member Cecily Strong stole the sketch as a special-forces canine interpreter, feigning Conan's disgust with a Photoshopped picture of President Donald Trump honoring him with a medal that the commander in chief shared earlier this week.

"And speaking of costumes, what is this janky fake medal the president put on my neck?" Strong said."It just has a picture of a paw on it, what the is that?" Saturday's"SNL" episode was hosted by"Charlie's Angel" actress Kristen Stewart with musical guest Coldplay.Kristen Stewart has no idea how to talk to kids in painfully relatable 'SNL' skit
