Thomas Jefferson Meets Sally Hemings - SNL

Thomas: “What time do you get off work?” Sally: “Ummm never.”

"when will you get off work?" "um, never" LOL!!!

The fact that Sally was an infant when Jefferson inherited her....

Except Sally was like 13 or 14 and didnt have a choice so there is that.....

Sally Hemings was actually Jefferson's wife's half-sister (they shared the same biological father).

"I'm just happy to be indoors."

DeNiro’s love for black women is legendary😏😏🖤🖤🖤🖤

There’s a sadness about this piece of history, she was only a child without choices.

"Haven't you heard, he only dates Black chicks" 😂😂😂 TJ has mad game. I love Sally's responses.

"He likes his women like he likes his coffee, hot black and first thing in the morning." TJ: "Hey, what time do you get off work?" Sally:"Um...never." 😂😂😂

"Sally Hemings came to Jefferson's home as an infant with her mother and siblings as part of his wife Martha's inheritance of slaves from her father. Hemings was the youngest of six siblings by the widowed planter John Wayles (slave trader) and Betty Hemings, a mixed-race enslaved woman; Sally and her siblings were three-quarters European, and through their father were also half-siblings of Martha Jefferson.[3] In 1787, Hemings, aged 14,[1] accompanied Jefferson's youngest daughter Mary("Polly") to London and then to Paris, where the widowed Jefferson, aged 44 at the time, was serving as the United States Minister to France. Hemings spent two years there. It is believed by most historians that Jefferson began a sexual relationship with Hemings in France or soon after their return to Monticello.[2] Hemings remained enslaved in Jefferson's house until his death. In 2017 a room identified as her quarters at Monticello, adjacent to Jefferson's bedroom, was discovered in an archeological restoration. It will be restored and refurbished.[4][5] The historical question of whether Jefferson was the father of Hemings' children is known as the Jefferson–Hemings controversy. Following renewed historic analysis in the late 20th century and a 1998 DNA study that found a match between the Jefferson male line and a descendant of Hemings' last son, Eston Hemings, there is a consensus among historians that Jefferson fathered her son Eston Hemings and probably all her children.[6]A small number of historians disagree.[7] Hemings' children lived in Jefferson's house as slaves and were trained as artisans. Jefferson freed all of Hemings' surviving children: Beverly, Harriet, Madison, and Eston, as they came of age (they were the only slave family freed by Jefferson). They were seven-eighths European in ancestry, and three of the four entered white society as adults. Descendants of those three identified as white.[8][9] Hemings was "given her time," and lived her last nine years freely with her two younger sons in Charlottesville, Virginia. She saw a grandchild born in the house her sons owned.[10]"

TJ: "You have a beautiful voice. Have you ever thought of being a singer?" SH: "That's really not an option for me." You have to admit that was funny (LOL!)

Robert de Niro and Maya Rudolph have a lot of fun in the rehearsals as Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings, a real legend they ask to come!
