In a romp down Meet the Parents memory lane, Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro crashed Saturday Night Live with a modern political twist—as President Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, and Robert Mueller, respectively. De Niro interrogated Stiller with the help of a lie detector, though his subject was more often than not forthcoming ("I’m Donald Trump’s lawyer!" said Stiller. "I’ve got a whole hard drive that’s just labeled ‘Yikes!'") It was a sketch the New York Times calls "imaginative" and "uproarious," and yes, included one of the movie's most oft-quoted lines.

By the end, it was a runaway freight train." Video highlights in the gallery. (Read more Saturday Night Live stories.)
