Attorney General Jeff Sessions has already had a rough week - but it got a little worse on Saturday when SNL turned him into Forrest Gump, courtesy of actress Kate McKinnon.

The former Alabama Senator was transformed into Tom Hanks' dim-witted but lovable oaf as he told his story to a series of strangers on a bus bench - including Vladimir Putin, played by Beck Bennett.

'I didn't know what to do,' McKinnon's Sessions said of the recent revelation that he'd been speaking to Russian representatives, despite claims that he had not.

'So my lawyers said, "Run, Jeffy, run!" So I started running and running, and I ended up all the way at this bus stop sitting here with you.'

The sketch began with a string of gags about the similarities between Sessions and Gump.

They both 'got to meet the president' and shake his hand - though in McKinnon's Session's case it was Trump, not JFK.

The comedian then appeared to take particular delight in mimicking Trump's strange, jerky handshakes.

And in a moment that referenced Gary Sinese's injured war veteran, Sessions boasted about having a friend with no legs - holding up the infamous photo of Kellyanne Conway kneeling on the Oval Office sofa during a meeting.

'I always say life is like a box of chocolates,' McKinnon's Sessions mused to Leslie Jones' bystander. 'Sure are a lot of brown ones in there!'

Racist: McKinnon's Sessiosn was portrayed as casually racist, commenting: 'I always say life is like a box of chocolates. Sure are a lot of brown ones in there!'

In real life, Sessions announced Thursday that he would recuse himself from the investigation into Trump's staff's alleged dealings with Russia because he himself had spoken to Russian officials on a series of occasions.

So it's no surprise that McKinnon's Sessions had plenty to say on the subject.

'This whole mess began with a congressional hearing,' McKinnon said, after Jones' bystander was replaced by another person.

'A senator from up north started asking all these questions about Russia and if I ever talked to 'em, and I got so nervous and confused.

'I got as worked up as a double-donged piggy in a room full of sows. So I said, "No, I never talked to any Russians ever and that's all I got to say about that.'

Seconds later, to another person at the bus stop: 'I talked to the Russians. Twice.'

Best pal: Sessions held up a pic of his pal Kellyanne Conway, saying she had no legs - a reference to Forrest's friend Lt. Dan, who lost his legs at war

'You know, I talked to a fella who turned out to be Russian on account of he was the Russian ambassador.'

'His name was Sergey Kislyak. Now I remember any name with the name "Gay kiss" in it.'

'I was the only one who talked to the Russians,' McKinnon went on - before stringing out a list of Trump staff who've been accused of talking to the foreign power: Michael Flynn, JD Gordon, Jared Kushner, Carter Page and Paul Manafort.

'I just gotta prove to everybody that I don't have any ties to the Russians whatsoever,' she added, before Bennett's Putin appeared and warned her: 'This meeting never happened.'

'I wasn't gonna remember it anyway,' McKinnon replied, with a fist-bump.

The final arrival at the bus stop was Octavia Spencer, playing Minny Jackson - the outspoken maid from The Help, for which she won an Oscar.

Bad taste: Octavia Spencer closed out the episode as her character from The Help, giving Sessions a chocolate pie with her own poop baked into it

'Are you Jeff Sessions? The one Coretta Scott-King wrote that letter about?' she asked.

King, who was Martin Luther King Jr's wife, opposed Sessions' appointment to federal judgeship in 1986, writing that he 'used the awesome powers of his office in a shabby attempt to intimidate and frighten elderly black voters.'

In 1985, as US Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama, Sessions had prosecuted three black community organizers for voter fraud - leading to complaints that he had not done so in white communities.

'My name's Minnie. You don't know me, I'm from a different movie,' Spencer said, before handing him a chocolate pie.

McKinnon's Sessions then took a big bite from the pie - little knowing that Spencer's character in The Help was in the habit of baking her own excrement into it.

'Mmm, my favorite!' McKinnon's Sessions said, with glee.
