Lindsay Lohan, Jon Hamm's Monroe skit cut from 'Saturday Night Live'

Lindsay Lohan, Jon Hamm's Monroe skit cut from 'Saturday Night Live'

A skit featuring Lindsay Lohan as Marilyn Monroe on last week's March 3 episode of Saturday Night Live was cut, it has been reported.

According to TMZ, it featured Lohan as Monroe and Mad Men star Jon Hamm as John F Kennedy.

The sketch apparently made it through rehearsals and was performed live, but had to be cut from the final broadcast due to lack of time.

In the skit, the two appear in a daydream to Rick Santorum, played by Andy Samberg. Monroe and the former US president tell Santorum that Monroe was on birth control thanks to Medicare, prompting Santorum to begin vomiting. Santorum stated recently that a 1960 speech by Kennedy on the importance of the separation of religion and politics made him "want to throw up".

This is not the first time Lohan has imitated an old Hollywood star. Lohan posed in an issue of Playboy styled after Monroe's famous spread. She is also set to play the late Elizabeth Taylor in an upcoming Lifetime biopic.

Lohan got positive reviews for her performance last week from stars including Zooey Deschanel and Taran Killam.
