Mayor Eric Adams and a slew of New York pols were lampooned at the 101st Inner Circle dinner held at the Ziegfeld Ballroom Saturday night.
The annual show, put on by the City Hall press corps, was dubbed “Beg Your Pardon,” as it centered around Mayor Adams’ legal troubles and the help he got avoiding them from the Trump administration.
“I turned my swagger into MAGA,” an actor playing Mayor Adams joked in a sketch about the potential jurors who might have heard his corruption case, had the Department of Justice not agreed to drop it this year.
That pretend pool of jurors included actors playing the roles of former mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa, radio host John Catsimatides, and NY state rep Jenifer Rajkumar.
In another act, Adams’ character misses the entire first act of the play due to a colonoscopy.
“What did they find up there,” Adams’ character asked upon waking.
“Looks like Tom Homan kept true to his word,” the doctor responded, in a reference to the head of ICE telling Adams early this year that he would be up the mayor’s “butt.”
Other butts of the joke included Governor Kathy Hochul, MTA CEO Janno Lieber and mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo.
