CBC’s ‘22 Minutes’ Skewers Trump With ‘Quiet Piggy’ Storytime Parody

The sketch riffs on a reported 'quiet, piggy' remark to a Bloomberg reporter later defended by the White House.

Overview

  • The CBC program This Hour Has 22 Minutes posted the 'Quiet Piggy' clip to its X account on November 26.
  • The segment portrays a Trump impersonator in a mock Oval Office reading a faux children’s book to schoolchildren.
  • The script draws on his exchange with Bloomberg’s Catherine Lucey over Jeffrey Epstein files and echoes the 'quiet, piggy' line.
  • The White House previously backed the president’s comment and called the reporter’s conduct unprofessional.
  • The parody adds jabs about 'swine' reporters, a Diet Coke swig, a P. Diddy pardon reference, and a joke about making Canada the 51st state.
