Jodie Foster (as played by Kate
McKinnon) came out as a Les...lie Nielsen fan during a comedy skit on
Saturday Night Live (SNL).
The skit featured CNN anchor Piers
Morgan discussing “a series of shocking and confusing revelations.”
His guests included cyclist Lance
Armstrong, who confessed to doping allegations this week, college
football player Manti Te'o, who claims he was duped into falling in
love with a woman who never existed, and actress Jodie Foster, who
repeated referenced the phrase “coming out” during her Golden
Globes speech but never actually said she is gay.
“Jodie, it sounded as if you were
trying to make an announcement of sorts,” Piers stated. “Would
you care to elaborate on that?”
“Yes I would sir. Allow me to set
the record straight, once and for all. I'm just going to put it out
there. Loud and proud, right? Here we go. I am gayyyyme for
anything. I'm just totally game for anything. Also, I am officially
a Lesssslie Nielsen fan. I just thought you should all know that.
Oh, and I am obsessed with girls. The show. I just love that show.”
“It's all finally out there. That is
such a giant weight off of my lesbian chest,” she added.
