The new version, which you can listen to below, was written by Jared Lee Gosselin and sung by Raquel Castro.

Saturday Night Live revived the beloved PBS game show Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? to solve a different mystery: The whereabouts of Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway.

The geography-based series was recreated in hilarious detail for the short sketch, even down to Rockapella's intro.

"She used to be on TV / On like every single panel / Then one day we all woke up and she was no longer there / What could have happened? / She is not on any channel," SNL host Chris Pine sang to the tune of the PBS' theme.

“SNL” brought back the 1990s kids’ game show “Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?” in an attempt to figure out what’s happened to Donald Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway. Recreating the show’s colorful aesthetic, the show asked what’s happened to the adviser, who hasn’t been seen on television for the last seven weeks. The sketch even featured a recreation of male acapella group Rockapella, famous for singing the “Carmen Sandiego” theme song, featuring host Chris Pine, and brought back original host Greg Lee. Time to find Kellyanne. #SNLLiveCoastToCoast pic.twitter.com/RnpKNBVAod — Saturday Night Live (@nbcsnl...

The franchise started off as a game in 1985, but it also spawned a television series that aired on PBS during the early 1990s.  The series aired for five years between 1991 through 1995.
