“Saturday Night Live” host Larry David lost his composure in the middle of “New Wife,” a skit that appeared to parody “gay famous” “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Erika Jayne.

David plays Vincent, a lawyer who throws a party for his colleagues to meet his “gay famous” new wife, Candance (Cecily Strong).

“She does the whole gay circuit. She’s big with the twinks, daddies, and even the techno sluts”, Vincent explains.

Candance, who arrives wearing a shiny minidress and a blonde ponytail, appears to be a spoof on Jayne.

She proceeds to perform a gay club banger in a similar style to Jayne’s tracks “XXPEN$IVE” and “How Many Fu*ks?”

“I only work for the munty, hunty,” Candance sings.

Even Jayne noticed the similarities between her and Candance tweeting a clip of the skit captioned, “Wait! Hahaha #SNL.”

The song seems to crack David up and he fights to finish the skit without laughing.

“We have time to hear one song and then go, which is perfect, because after that, the club is overrun with thirsty bottom-feeders,” David struggles to say through fits of laughter.
