2nd Update with cold open video. 1st Update Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer? Check out the evidence below. Previous Alec Baldwin’s Donald Trump shared Saturday Night Live‘s cold open with a Death-garbed Steve Bannon – Mikey Day beneath the skeleton mask, maybe? – in a sort of round-robin argument with world leaders. “Steve,” Baldwin’s Trump said, “maybe I should stop?” (Watch it above).
“Or maybe you should call Germany,” Bannon shot back.
Tonight, Baldwin was joined by SNL cast members taking on the roles of various world leaders – Kate McKinnon as Germany’s Angela Merkel, Alex Moffat as Mexico’s Enrique Pena Nieto, Kenan Thompson as a leader of Zimbabwe
and Beck Bennett ditching his usual Putin for Australia’s Malcolm Turnbull.
Sample dialogue: “Everyone loves it,” said Trump to Turnbull about his travel ban. “I had to do it because of that huge massacre at Bowling Green.” Oh, and the (not really) massacred are lucky to not have to “see how bad Celebrity Apprentice is.”
Or to Merkel: “Last week was Holocaust Remembrance Day and as you know six million people…were at my inauguration.”
SNL even managed to work in a reference to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump’s supposed practice of not working on weekends in keeping with Orthodox Jewish strictures. Said Baldwin’s Trump to the Dr. Death Bannon: “When the Jews are away, the goys will play.”
Tonight’s episode is hosted by Kristen Stewart, who scored a little controversy of her own.
Here’s a bit of the cold open:
And now, from New York, it’s Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer:
Omg so original how did they ever come up
with these unique and clever scenarios.
Nothing like this happens in real life that could be copied as a filler.
I thought it was pretty telling when Matt Stone and Trey Parker said they couldn’t satire Donald’s presidency because the truth was literally more funny than fiction. When your presidency is more ridiculous than South Park can imagine, we’ve got a problem.
Wow this reminds me of the movie
‘ quiz show ‘ , where they just repeat the info.
They already know the answers.
Some call it cheating.
Best movie ever really great. The original judge was in cohoots with the network and sealed up the court witnesses info for them. Too bad it was revealed later anyway. Great movie.
Alex dear we all just spent all week long watching this story in real life……
Why are you boring us by making us watch
the same story again!!!!!!????????!!!!!!
He’s not making you do a damn thing. Change the channel or turn it off.
Shutup loser I’m looking for
laughs from snl not preaching and scolding.
SNL has done political satire since 1975. If you haven’t figured that out by now, why are you watching it again? You’d think 42 years would be enough to let you know what to expect.
That wasn’t nice.
It just wasn’t funny. It seems like
a waste. Maybe they should have more props or different staging or sets, it’s basically the same thing every week.
So you were being forced to watch it?
Love it,Don’t watch it than….DUH
Has anyone ever noticed how most conservatives happen to lack anything resembling a sense of humor? It seems to stem from their predilection to take everything literally like the bible and the constitution. Sad.
I for one, want the constitution to be considered in all ways, not just yours or his.
What does that even mean?
Melissa McCarthy KILLED as Sean Spicer ! Please bring her back. However, the musical talent has really sucked this season. I know Lorne is trying to bring in younger demos into the show but who are these acts ?! And I’m not that old.
Stunt casting. Poor girl is trying to sell her tv shows she’s producing.
Omg thanks mel m for the laughs.
Obviously she wrote the material as it’s
her zany original view of what’s funny.
Thanks. So funny. Hahahahaha.
Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer = brilliant!!
You rich people think it’s funny all you are doing is creating more hate have some respect for to those who voted for trump i am muslim and i respect president Trump so you should 2
You’re a robot, right?
Get a life.
alec,he was great…………………………..
SNL was so funny. Love Alec Baldwin’s Trump. He just nails it every time. Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer was a surprise. She also nailed it. Super funny stuff there.
Meliissa McCathy was Great !!! Al Baldwin not funny(sad)
Melissa was funny… Baldwin just not funny!!!!!
Yeah Lorne is so liberal but his cast has always been a white boys club. He only hired a black woman recently bc of protests and last night a white guy had to play the President of Mexico. Embarrassing
Typical winger comment. Call someone a liberal and then attack them for not acting like a liberal. How do you even know Lorne is a liberal? The voices in your head tell you that?
That opening was pukey and gross.
Yyyeeeeeecccchhhhhh.
Donald is going to lose his tiny little mind next Sat. when Baldwin hosts the entire show.
Boring. hate sells.
Former SNL cast member Norm Macdonald has referred to the Fey/Myers/Jost era as “agenda comedy”.
