(RNN) - In a nearly 7-minute long skit. Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller made surprise-guest cameos as Robert Mueller and Michael Cohen. 

The pair re-created their memorable lie-detector test scene from the movie ‘Meet the Parents,' in which they co-starred, 18 years ago.

The skit opens with parody versions of Jeff Sessions and Mike Pence sharing jabs at one another when Ben Stiller enters the scene as President Trump’s embattled personal attorney, Michael Cohen.

Stiller enters the scene as Cohen, and is met with cheers from the live SNL audience, as a parody Sessions tells him that he is there to go meet with someone down the hall.

The person waiting for him in an interrogation room, is De Niro’s Mueller. De Niro was also welcomed with a loud ovation as he appeared on camera.

No topics were left untouched, as De Niro, asked Stiller about alleged payments made to "Stormy Daniels," who claims to have had an affair with Donald Trump in 2006, and alleges that she was paid $130,000 before the 2016 election, in exchange for her silence.

The opening skit even played on, arguably, one of the most hysterical lines in the ‘Meet the Parents’ movie franchise.

“You broke the law. And now we’re going to catch all of you little Fockers, you got that?” said De Niro’s Mueller to Stiller’s Cohen.

The skit comes after Michael Cohen's New York office was raided by the FBI earlier this week, in relation to suspected allegations of bank fraud and campaign finance violations.
