Jeff Sessions became Forrest Gump on Saturday Night Live ... and the bust stop bench spoof couldn't have been funnier.

Kate McKinnon did her best impression of the Attorney General, who was forced to recuse himself this week from any Trump-related investigations after getting caught lying about talking to Russians on the campaign.

Queen Latifah's jumping into stand-up comedy by producing a new competition TV show ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the Queen tell us she's executive producer on a project called "Knock Knock" -- a reality show more than just stand-up routines. We're told it follows 4 up and coming comedians in their daily lives, as they hustle for their big break in Hollywood.

Latifah will mostly be behind the camera, along with longtime producing partner Otis Best -- and they've hired 'Chappelle Show' vet Donnell Rawlings to host. The winner gets to open for him, and also host their own stand-up special.

The show doesn't have a home yet, but we're told multiple networks have interest.

Donnell told us a little more about his role and why QL's the right woman to run the show.

TMZ Sports POP QUIZ TIME!

Why did UFC star Fabricio Werdum bring a big ass 48" TV to the airport?

A. He's holding it for a friend until they come and pick it up.

B. He's opening a stand-up comedy bar in Brazil, and bought the TV in America to bring it there.

C. He's hoping someone will try to steal the TV, so he can practice kicking the hell out of people.

D. He likes his in-flight entertainment BIG.

Remember the guy whose penis fell out of his pants at the NFL combine last year?

Yeah, he does too ... and now, Chris Jones has some solid dong advice for all the rookies at this year's event to make sure their genitals don't go viral too.

Jones -- who just wrapped up a solid rookie season with the K.C. Chiefs -- admits his big problem was that he wore boxers instead of tights while running the 40 yard dash ... and his junk got loose.

Silver lining, Jones got an underwear deal out of the incident ... and a bunch of porn stars followed him on Twitter.

So, maybe don't listen to his advice???

Would you recognize NFL superstar Adrian Peterson if he was walking down the street?

How about if you were a reporter interviewing him for a story about road rage?

That's the exact situation FOX 26's John Donnelly was in during a report from Houston ... and when he finally realized the giant, ripped dude answering his questions was THE Adrian Peterson, things get hilariously awkward.

Tom Hanks doesn't want the White House press corps sleeping on Donald Trump, so he took precautions to prevent just that ... with espresso.

ABC White House correspondent Karen Travers thanked Hanks Thursday for the brand new espresso machine he sent for her colleagues in the West Wing.

Tom attached a note, telling the press corps to "keep up the good fight for Truth, Justice, and the American Way. Especially for the Truth part."

We know what it looks like, but ... Tom also did this during Dubya and Obama's administrations.

Stay woke!

John Caparulo did something a lot of comedians are doing -- busted on President Trump -- but this time a woman in the front row quickly and violently retaliated on Trump's behalf.

John -- who was a regular on Chelsea Handler's show -- was performing stand-up at The Comedy & Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, CA. He made a phallic joke about the Washington Monument, and when he dragged the prez into it ... 2 women in the crowd went off.

One of them hurled f-bombs, the other upped the ante by launching her glass at him. You can tell, John was shocked and slightly injured -- he came really close to retaliating.

Kellyanne Conway threw manners out the Oval Office window to take a snapshot of Donald Trump with leaders of black universities and colleges.

Kellyanne left her high heel shoes on as she knelt on a couch to take a photo of the prez and dozens of reps for Historically Black Colleges and Universities Monday. She immediately got ripped on social media for the extreme lack of etiquette.

If you're inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt ... she was just trying to get a better angle for the shot. On the other hand, kneeling in the Oval almost always gets ya in trouble.

Bryan Cranston and Kevin Hart got their freak on in Philly ... we think.

The duo was rolling in a Ferrari this weekend through the City of Brotherly Love -- Kev's home turf. Someone asked what they were doing in town, and ended up getting an awesome answer.

T.O. got jokes.

After that epic Oscars fail Sunday night ... even Terrell Owens took a shot at the Academy.

"After watching the #Oscars2017 Moonlight snafu, maybe I did make the the #HOF2017 class. 😂😂😂 #moonlightgate."

Jimmy Kimmel took a huge sarcastic swipe at President Trump ... all in support of some up and coming actress named Meryl Streep.

In the middle of Jimmy's opening monologue for the 89th Oscars he put the spotlight on Meryl by referencing Trump's "over-rated" tweet about her ... following her scathing speech about him in January.

Jimmy's obviously killed in what's definitely NOT a Trump-friendly room.

Ya gotta imagine Trump's Twitter finger is itching.

"The Dudesons" star Jukka Hilden is at it again ... with another insane stunt that ends with a SCORPION TRAPPED IN HIS MOUTH!!

Jukka -- a member of the four-man stunt group from Finland -- was the lucky loser who had to stuff a live scorpion in his mouth, and attempt to duct tape the sucker in there for a full minute.

Why? Because playing with alligators is so last week.

When George Clooney's children are born, he can count on his pal, Don Cheadle, to babysit ... he just might not get back the kids!

Don was getting out of town Thursday at LAX and we asked if he'd give George any parenting tips -- or maybe offer his own full grown daughters to help out once Amal has the twins.

Jeff Ross is more than game to emcee the White House Correspondents' Dinner without fear and without reservation because he has designs on Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

We got the quintessential roast master at The Comedy Store Tuesday on the Sunset Strip, and he not only wants to fry Trump ... he thinks it's his patriotic duty.

Here's the thing ... it totally makes sense. He's roasted Trump twice in the past so the prez is down with him, and he'll be tough enough to satisfy the angry press corps.

Obama and Biden are gone, but Senator John McCain and Ashton Kutcher are ready to fill the D.C. bromance void after sharing an air kiss during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing.

Ashton was on the Hill testifying about human trafficking and modern-day slavery ... serious stuff. But McCain seized the opportunity for a little levity by making a playful jab about Kutcher's looks.

Bethenny Frankel's Valentine's Day ended with something long and hard.

Bethenny had to jump 2 fences to reach her $5 million Soho apartment Tuesday night. It was blocked by barricades which corralled a crowd trying to reach Kylie Jenner's pop-up store.

Bethenny was spotted earlier out with a mystery man, but doesn't look like he made it back to the apartment. Too bad ... she's very limber.
