The creator performs a comedic skit dressed as disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes. A police officer pulls her over for speeding in a school zone and presents video evidence on his phone. The Holmes character uses her infamous deep voice and blatant denial tactics to gaslight the officer, ultimately claiming she doesn't even drive despite sitting behind the wheel.
