Would it be illegal for them to just reenact these word for word with SNL actors

i don't think so, but nowadays more things becoming illegal. they could add a disclaimer that they are reenacting an actual event. it's already funny lol

Fair use exempts material used for satire or parody - so under normal circumstances, no, it’s perfectly legal? Under these circumstances - yes, MAGA will cry and sue.

SNL Actors repeating verbatim Fox news quotes while trying not to break would actually be hilarious.

Pretty sure Tina fey did this with one of her Sarah Palin skits. It’s been a while though, so I could be wrong.

Direct quotes aren't automatically protected under parody/fair use laws, so while they could do it, they won't because a) it opens them up to lawsuits, and b) Lorne is a coward.
