John Mulaney mocked Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson‘s viral interview moment on his talk show.
In Wednesday’s episode, Mulaney introduced his “Everybody’s Live” sidekick, Richard Kind, and asked him about a recent surgery.
The actor, who wore a dark gray shirt reminiscent of the one Belichick wore on “CBS Sunday Morning” over the weekend, began to answer when a seated woman named “Gerstein” interrupted.
“We’re not talking about that,” she declared, repeating what Hudson, 24, told journalist Tony Dokoupil on Sunday when Belichick was asked how they met.
The woman continued to spoof Hudson, claiming, “I am his idea mill and his muse, and I’ll need to see a cut of this before you use it.”
Belichick, notably, refers to his partner in this way in the acknowledgements section of his new memoir, “The Art of Winning.”
When Mulaney pointed out to Gerstein on Wednesday that his talk show is live, she replied, “It’s not live anymore, sorry. The Richard portions are pre-taped, we’re gonna need to see a cut.”
Kind, channeling Belichick, asked the audience whether they wouldn’t also “give up all [their] friends” for Gerstein.
“I would blow up my brand and distance myself from my fans for one moment in her company,” he said. “Oh, to watch her scroll. To wake up and hear her on the phone in the bathroom.
“It’s a dream. We also have some cute Insta-faces,” Kind continued, poking fun at the way Belichick, 73, has referred to his Instagram account.
“No, we’re not showing those. Those are private,” Gerstein interjected despite Mulaney clarifying it is a “public” platform.
“Why can’t I have it all, John?” she asked. “A family? A brand? A business? No one deserves it more than me.”
Hudson has been defensive over her and Belichick’s May-December romance, which boasts a 48-year age gap, since the couple went public last year.
In March, she blasted an Instagram hater calling the relationship “insane” — and told her followers that “love does not discriminate against” age the previous month.
The cheerleader went on a savage retweet spree on Monday, sharing supportive messages from X users, including one about wishing Belichick had “strangle[d] the life” out of Dokoupil.
She justified being a “constant presence” during Belichick’s recent interview, as Dokoupil claimed, by leaking an email her partner wrote about wanting his book promotion to be “authentic.”
Belichick said more of the same while defending his girlfriend in a lengthy statement Wednesday.
“Prior to this interview, I clearly communicated with my publicist at Simon & Schuster that any promotional interviews I participated in would agree to focus solely on the contents of the book,” he wrote.
The network, however, has denied that any such arrangement existed.
