Just invite her to Saturday Night Live where she will agree to be part of a script in which she is asked "Were you the dog or were you the burrito?" No, wait, I'm wrong; that was law professor, economic specialist, Senator and former Presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren.
I didn't even know that this show had a character called Debbie Downer, to say lines that might seem less funny to some people if they were said by a woman who looked like a model. According to this episode, Ms. Downer doesn't want to drink at a wedding because the last time she drank she was "almost Me Too'ed." It is typical of this industry that it has turned a phrase that is meant to be supportive of people who are sexually harassed into a euphemism for the harassment itself.
Ms. Downer then describes the incident, saying that she choked on some food and that her date used the Heimlich maneuver to feel her up.
The Heimlich maneuver. That's what writers working for corporate entertainment think is brilliant satire.
There is also, obviously, a joke about Debbie Downer being a cat lady. She tells the joke.
I don't know why Senator Warren agreed to be part of this show. The show is an example of the forces at work in the United States which prevented her from being elected.
So, where do the writers for Saturday Night Live find inspiration every week? There are plenty of jokes about the Heimlich maneuver online, some of them funny and some of them not.

You don't even have to be smart to be funnier than the disgusting morons who write for that show.
It's one thing to have to fight for respect because you're female. It's another thing to enable a system that normalizes gender discrimination, that relies on and promotes stereotypes, that fights tooth and nail for the status quo while pretending to be progressive or even irreverent toward the status quo.
