‘SNL’ sucked up to Donald Trump in a pretty hilarious way Saturday night!
The show’s cold open was a handwringing of sorts, where the cast groused about D.T.’s election victory. They called it “shocking.” They called it “horrifying.”
But then they worried Trump might seek “vengeance” against his political enemies, of which ‘SNL’ is a card-carrying member. And then the pivot! Kenan Thompsonchimed in … “We at SNL would like to say to Donald Trump, we have been with you all along.”
Bowen Yang then doubled down … “We have never wavered in our support of you, even when others doubted you,” and the other cast members then added their voices of “support,” proclaiming they always loved the Prez-elect.
There was also a special appearance by Dana Carvey, who nailed the Bidencharacter during the campaign. This time Dana was Elon Musk … super funny.
‘SNL’ is gonna have a field day going forward.
