Still not sure what NFTs are? 'SNL' explains with Eminem parody
CNN
If you still aren't sure what non-fungible tokens are, or NFTs, "Satuday Night Live" might have an answer. The NFT craze made its debut on the late-night show — hosted by former cast member Maya Rudolph — in the form of an explainer-turned-rap skit featuring a parody of US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
In the skit, Yellen — portayed by Kate McKinnon — is speaking to a university economics class when a student asks her what an NFT is. What follows is an Eminem-inspired rap portrayed by cast members Pete Davidson dressed as Batman's sidekick Robin, Chris Redd as Morpheus from "The Matrix" series and special musical guest Jack Harlow as a janitor. Davidson and Redd take a shot at explaining the mainstream phenomenon to Yellen before Harlow joins in with a more concise rap take on the craze.
