Co-hosts Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley had some fun with an ObamaCare spoof during the opening of Wednesday night’s CMA Awards at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.
The former ‘Idol’ winner kicked off her sixth CMA hosting gig by offering to help her co-host sign up for health insurance on the HealthCare.gov website.
Underwood told Paisley, “I started signing up last Thursday and I’m almost done. Let’s go to the website and get you signed up.”
They sat down in chairs as she punched keys on a laptop computer. He asked, “Why is it spinning?” She quipped, “Oh, it does that.”
Brad inquired, “Why is it smoking?” Looking perplexed, she responded, “Maybe we should restart it.”
They broke into a special rendition of George Strait’s ‘Amarillo By Morning,’ with a different set of lyrics:
“Obamacare by morning – why is this taking so long? I’m going to end up with hemorrhoids – If I sit here ’til dawn. We’ll have cataracts and dementia, this is gettin’ on our last nerve. ObamaCare by morning, over six people served.”
The audience loved the sketch as seen in the video below:
