“Uh, yes, hello,” Kenan Thompson, who in the meantime has appeared without explanation beside the other presidents, says. “I am the president of the University of Phoenix online, and I’m willing to say yes to anything.” (He never identifies himself.)
Where on earth did that come from? Who knows? For the record, no one from the University of Phoenix testified at the hearing. This was completely out of left field. But Thompson did at least provide some laughs. His answer was the first of a few shots at the online school based in Phoenix.
“See? See?” Troast’s Stefanik says. “A real president of a real university.”
“That’s actually our school motto — U of P, we are a real university,” Thompson says.
Asked if he will “promise to eliminate all antisemitism from your campus,” Thompson gets the best line of the sketch.
“Well … my campus is the internet, so antisemitism is kind of our most popular major,” Thompson says. “And our mascot is po-n.”
Finally, when asked if the University of Phoenix will offer a course on how antisemitism is wrong, Thompson takes one last shot at the school: “Lady, we’ll offer a course on anything. The only mandatory courses we have are how to log into the University of Phoenix online and how to set up autopay.”
