VIDEO: 'SNL' Takes Aim at Jill Kelley, Tampa

We knew it was only a matter of time before the David Petraeus scandal got the Saturday Night Live treatment. Over the weekend, the controversy gave SNL enough fodder for two sketches -- one of which centered around Jill Kelley, the Tampa socialite who brought the Petraeus affair to light.

In a mock episode of CNN's The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, the bit razzes the media for having such little B-roll of Kelly and checks in with “our never-used Tampa correspondent.” Then, a seedy-looking fake Tampa mayor extols the city’s virtues: cigars, tattoos, murders and Jill Kelley.

In case you missed it, here’s the sketch. When the rest of the world makes fun of Tampa, at least you’ll be in on the joke.

"I host a food podcast" is a great icebreaker at parties.
