John Cena impersonates Hillary Clinton with Victoria Justice as Donald Trump at Teen Choice Awards 2016
The hosts of the annual awards show on FOX spoof the American elections
WWE wrestler John Cena and Nickelodeon actress Victoria Justice performed a comedy skit at the Teen Choice Awards 2016 on Sunday. The hosts dressed up as American candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump then acted out with "Key & Peele" cast member Keegan-Michael Key as President Barack Obama.
The 39-year-old wrestler showed up in a pink suit and blonde wig, while the "Victorious" lead star donned a navy suit and a red tie. Key introduced them on-stage using his President Obama impression. He announced that it would be the very first presidential election at the Teen Choice Awards.
"I thought you would be bigger," the comedian told Victoria. "Look at me, I'm huge," the "Zoey 101" alumna responded. When the WWE star was introduced, it was evident that he could not keep a straight face.
“Nice pantsuit, it’s huge,” the actress told her co-host. “Nice head-badger -- it’s ridiculous,” John replied in his Clinton costume. Dwayne Johnson a.k.a. The Rock joined in inviting the viewers to cast their votes at the official Teen Choice website or through Twitter using the hashtag #ChoicePresident.
“You have to pick one of these two major candidates," Keegan explained the mechanics. He added that there should not be any surprise entries. "There’s no write-ins, guys. I don’t want to see any of your Biebers, or your Swifts, or your Pokémons.”
The voting ended with Clinton as the winner. The announcement was made before the end of the show.
The 2016 Teen Choice Awards was held on the last day of July and broadcasted live on FOX internationally. According to People, the objective of the partnership was to raise awareness among the audience, especially teens. They aim to let teens exercise their right to vote and to voice out who they think should be the next President.
