Though many may be shocked, the ladies of [_Saturday Night Live_](http://people.com/tag/saturday-night-live/ "undefined") are here to tell you that this kind of bad behavior is nothing new. Set in a Candy Land-like setting, host [Saoirse Ronan](http://people.com/tag/Saoirse-Ronan/ "undefined") and castmembers Aidy Bryant, Cecily Strong and [Kate McKinnon](http://people.com/tag/kate-mckinnon/ "undefined") posed as pop princesses to say “Welcome to Hell.” “Hey there, boys. We know the last couple months have been frickin’ insane,” said Strong before Bryant chimed in, “All these big, cool, powerful guys are turning out to be — what’s the word —habitual predators?” The catchy tune let guys in on a “secret that every girl knows” and addressed the harsh realities of navigating the world as a woman. As Bryant pointed out, “This ain’t a girl group. We just travel in a group for safety.” In the past few months, a slew of powerful men — from [Harvey Weinstein](http://people.com/tag/harvey-weinstein/ "undefined") to [Matt Lauer](http://people.com/tag/matt-lauer/ "undefined") — have been outed as sexual predators. Though many may be shocked, the ladies of [_Saturday Night Live_](http://people.com/tag/saturday-night-live/ "undefined") are here to tell you that this kind of bad behavior is nothing new. Set in a Candy Land-like setting, host [Saoirse Ronan](http://people.com/tag/Saoirse-Ronan/ "undefined") and castmembers Aidy Bryant, Cecily Strong and [Kate McKinnon](http://people.com/tag/kate-mckinnon/ "undefined") posed as pop princesses to say “Welcome to Hell.” “Hey there, boys.

As Bryant pointed out, “This ain’t a girl group. We just travel in a group for safety.” The ladies also showed how women have been suppressed through history, featuring flashbacks to the Salem witch trials, the suffragette movement and the ’60s sexual revolution. Leslie Jones then jumped in to remind everyone that “it’s like a million times worse for a woman of color,” to which they all agreed without hesitation. “Now _House of Cards_ is ruined, and that really sucks,” sang Ronan, referring to [allegations against Kevin Spacey](http://people.com/tv/kevin-spacey-netflix-may-cancel-house-of-cards/ "undefined") that led to the cancellation of his hit Netflix show. “Well here’s a list of stuff that’s ruined for us: parking, and walking, and Uber, and ponytails, and bathrobes, and night time, and drinking, and hotels, and vans.” _SNL_ wasn’t done with the new wave of sexual harassment allegations. Later, on “Weekend Update,” Colin Jost [briefly touched on Lauer](http://people.com/tv/snl-weekend-update-matt-lauer-jokes/ "undefined"), who was fired by the sketch comedy show’s network on Wednesday following [sexual misconduct allegations](http://people.com/tv/matt-lauer-sexual-harassment-assault-allegation-breakdown/ "undefined"). “A new survey finds that four out of five Americans believe sexual harassment is happening in the workplace. While one out of five couldn’t respond because their boss’ penis was blocking the keyboard,” joked Jost. “I almost forgot about this week’s batch of predators. It’s just a whole segment of the news now. I’ve just got to announce the names every week like Powerball numbers.” In the background, Lauer was shown alongside Russell Simmons and Garrison Keillor, both of whom faced their own sexual misconduct allegations over the last several days. Focusing in on Lauer and his famously contentious relationship with former _Today_ co-host Ann Curry, Jost joked, “On Wednesday, the Rockefeller Christmas tree was lit and so was Ann Curry.” _This_ [_article_](http://people.com/tv/snl-welcome-to-hell-music-video-parody/ "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://People.com "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5046859/snl-sexual-harassment-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5046859/snl-sexual-harassment-video/"},"headline":"Watch The Ladies of SNL Welcome You 'to Hell' with Anti-Sexual Harassment Music Video","datePublished":"2017-12-03T15:56:01.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T18:25:56.882Z","description":"'SNL' reminds you that sexual harassment is nothing new","url":"https://time.com/5046859/snl-sexual-harassment-video/","keywords":["Saturday Night Live","Television","sexual harassment","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6c7191a0d798175d/6988f3764ee262b3ac310018/snl-sexual-harssment-skit.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Stephanie Petit / People"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6c7191a0d798175d/6988f3764ee262b3ac310018/snl-sexual-harssment-skit.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Saturday Night Live - Season 43","caption":"Saturday Night Live - Season 43","creditText":"Rosalind O'Connor—NBCU/ Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/saturday-night-live/","name":"Saturday Night Live"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5046859/snl-sexual-harassment-video/","name":"Watch The Ladies of SNL Welcome You 'to Hell' with Anti-Sexual Harassment Music Video"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Today Show's Matt Lauer Fired From NBC News After Sexual Misconduct Allegations","description":"Matt Lauer was fired from his longtime position as the co-anchor of NBC’s Today Show after allegations of sexual misconduct.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/TmeXUkD1/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-11-29T14:29:25.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/TmeXUkD1.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5046859/snl-sexual-harassment-video/","duration":"PT1M53S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5046859/snl-sexual-harassment-video/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
