Mayor Eric Adams and a slew of New York pols were lampooned at the 101st Inner Circle dinner held at the Ziegfeld Ballroom Saturday night.

The yearly event organized by the City Hall press corps was called “Beg Your Pardon,” focusing on Mayor Adams’ legal issues and the support he received from the Trump administration.

During a skit portraying potential jurors for Mayor Adams’ corruption trial, an actor impersonating Mayor Adams humorously quipped, “I turned my swagger into MAGA,” highlighting how the Department of Justice dropped the case this year.

In this fictional jury panel were actors mimicking figures like former mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa, radio host John Catsimatides, and NY state representative Jenifer Rajkumar.

In another act, Adams’ character misses the entire first act of the play due to a colonoscopy.

“What did they find up there,” Adams’ character asked upon waking.

“Looks like Tom Homan kept true to his word,” the doctor responded, in a reference to the head of ICE telling Adams early this year that he would be up the mayor’s “butt.”

Other butts of the joke included Governor Kathy Hochul, MTA CEO Janno Lieber and mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo.
