Druski once more dressed up as another white woman.
The internet personality, 32, is hosting Saturday Night Live with music guest The Strokes on Saturday, November 7. Druski (real name Drew Desbordes) is the digital content creator who hosts the NBC sketch comedy show.
During his time hosting the show, he did a You Can See Everything parody. You Can See Everything is a documentary by comedian Nathan Fielder and director Lance Oppenheimer that documents the notorious convicted felon Elizabeth Holmes 34 days before she is sent to prison for fraud and conspiracy.

The sketch begins with a narrator saying that before Fielder was invited to document time before going to prison, she asked Druski to. In the sketch, Jane Wickline portrays Holmes, and Ben Marshall portrays her partner, Billy Evans.
Druski ended up transforming into Holmes physically in the parody as he talked about finding someone to embody her character for the reenactments.

His transformation was complete with the piercing blue eyes, blonde hair, and white complexion. Druski also donned a beige turtleneck and blue jeans. The comedian's look as Holmes is reminiscent of when he parodied a character that appeared to be Erika Kirk.
Back in March, Druski performed a sketch about how conservative women in America act. In the sketch, he appears as a blonde white woman wearing intense blue contact lenses. Druski did not explicity name the Turning Point CEO in his viral video.
Numerous viewers believed that Druski was clearly parodying Erika, which seemed particularly apparent during the WWE-style entrance sequence (echoing Erika's entrance at Charlie's memorial service) and his vocal inflection during an interview segment discussing the Bible.

The video had caused right-wing backlash, and Kirk responded to the video herself. She referred to Druski's sketch in her nearly nine-minute YouTube video posted in April, titled A Message From Erika Kirk, saying "I have comedians dressing up in whiteface."
Druski had defended the characters in his comedy skits in an interview with CBS Mornings in February. He pointed to the comedians who came before him.
"I never go and punch down in anything that I do; nothing is coming from a bad place," he said. "Everything I do comes from a good place, a good-hearted situation. Even if it does seem like I cross the line...or gone too far."
He also noted that "greats" like Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence "have done really good whiteface."
Druski also joked about "people only know me as a white woman" in his SNL opening monologue.
