It featured Tim Meadows as Thomas, Ellen Cleghorne as Hill, Dana Carvey as Strom Thurmond, Chris Farley as Howell Heflin, Phil Hartman as Edward Kennedy, and Nealon as Biden.

The sketch centered around Clarence Thomas, who was in the process of becoming a member of the Supreme Court while tackling sexual harassment allegations from Anita Hill. He did so during the show's seventeenth season on October 12, 1991, during the episode's cold open. Weekend Update anchor Kevin Nealon was the first to portray Joe Biden on Saturday Night Live.
