SNL and President Trump tweets, updated with video: “Well, well, well, look, who fell out of that coconut tree,” Maya Rudolph says tonight, on Saturday Night Live’s season A cold opening of the 50 premiere began. “I know you’re leaving, but the door is locked,” James Austin Johnson, who returned as Donald Trump for another year, later added.
Alumnus Andy Samberg stars as current Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, joining director Rudolph’s Emmy Award winner Kamala Harris, Jim Gaffigan stars as Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Governor Tim Walz, and more tonight. SNL was all presidential politics. Additionally, there are some TLC moves from its current late-night show, Veep, with SNL’s current MVP Bowen Yang as Radiohead quoting Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. J.D. Vance. Masu.
In a true blast from the past, Dana Carvey appears as President Joe Biden. “A lot of people, myself included, forget that I’m president,” Carvey’s Biden quipped, and the outstanding open deal was sealed.
Or, as Rudolph/Harris’ self-proclaimed “fun aunt” put it, “My campaign is like the Sabrina Carpenter song ‘Expresso’. The lyrics are vague, but the vibe is slap.”
With only a few days left until SNL’s first season premiere on October 11, 1975, tonight’s half-century SNL debut will see more political figures than ever since the May 18 Season 49 finale, when Gerald Ford was in the White House. You can see the changes.
In the past three months, there has been one debacle in a presidential debate, one assassination attempt on a former president, one president withdrawing from the race, one vice president jumping into misconduct, and two There was a party convention, two very different vice presidential candidates, and another presidential race. Veep TKO’d Trump during the September 10 debate, leading to another assassination attempt on the former president, and the second debate was canceled. With this in mind, there are just over 36 days left until the American election, and voting day is just around the corner.
Oh, and meanwhile New York City Mayor Eric Adams was indicted on corruption charges this week.
Why isn’t this the perfect fertile ground for a late night show led by Lorne Michaels? Well, even with Rudolph back as Harris and three new cast members, I’m not sure how easily SNL can snatch defeat from a sure win.
Tonight was the winner of All Hands on Deck.
Except for the Trump campaign, which was quick to hit back at the SNL version of its boss.
Rudolph, who left the SNL cast in 2007, last appeared on the show last season when he hosted it on May 11, making this the third time the Booty star has hosted the show he once starred in. becomes. I had a few little firsts tonight. Carvey, who appeared in the 1990s, has played two presidents in his long career, with Biden joining his iconic George H.W. Bush more than 25 years ago.
Also tonight, The Hucks star (and recent Emmy winner) Jean Smart makes her long-awaited SNL hosting debut. Also new to the Studio 8H scene, Jelly Roll (who appeared at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards earlier this month) will be appearing as a musical guest for the second time.
Next week, Nate Bergatze will front SNL and Coldplay will be the musical guest.
