“Oh great to be here in East Palestine city, not a big name,” James Austin Johnson, who portrayed Donald Trump, said at the beginning of tonight Saturday night live. “I’m here and I’ve brought hats, cameras and hats,” he added after earlier this week slashing Joe Biden over his visit to the Ukrainian capital Kiev and Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his own legal troubles.
“That’s why you need me,” the MAGA hat wearer SNL Trump went on to say. “I feel I can do it Schott’s Creek this place,” he added, a nod to the multi-Emmy-winning comedy.
A little more than three days into the earlier and rumored future, POTUS took a selfish trip to the small Ohio town devastated by a massive chemical fire after a train derailment. SNL Cold Open certainly started faster than most shows have this 48e Season. After months of doing double duty as both Trump and Biden, Johnson again enthusiastically showed that the former is his forte.
Modeling what was a train wreck of a real Trump rally in East Palestine on Wednesday, Johnson gushed about the city’s “beautiful rainbows and discoloration,” Rihanna’s Super Bowl halftime performance, and “Your train blew up and who’s to blame we?”
The answer of SNLHis Trump, as in real life, was Transport Minister Pete Buttigieg.
“It was his responsibility. Unfortunately, he was too busy being nerdy and gay,” Johnson’s Trump laughed and looked serious. “But that would never have happened under my government. People say I made the trains less safe. That’s not true. OK, not true. I have done a lot for trains. I made them bigger, faster and maybe less safe.”
A day after the one-year anniversary of Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine, today’s edition of NBC’s long-running late night had plenty of material to draw from. Adding to the very serious war on NATO’s eastern edge is the insane and deadly wet weather in California, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green on President’s Day calls for a “national divide” and growing friction in the GOP ranks, as former Friends Trump and Ron DeSantis argue and stomp over the 2024 nomination and the impending impeachment.
The return to the seemingly bottomless abyss of Trump presenting controversy SNL smack in the middle of the 2016 campaign, wasn’t exactly the most original approach Tonight’s show could have taken — but it was a tried-and-true tactic that certainly didn’t seem tired.
Taking Trumpland’s dangerous and absurd turns to the next level, SNL also published Emily Kohrs, played by actress Chloe Fineman.
In case you missed her media tour this week, the talkative Kohrs in the foreman of the special grand jury investigating Trump’s attempt to overturn the Georgia 2020 election results. Korhs’ provocative, tongue-in-cheek, tongue-in-cheek interviews about behind-closed-doors deliberations may threaten the cause. In real life, Trump called the Georgia grand jury a “kangaroo court” and mocked Kohrs himself.
By SNL, the fake Trump said: “Can you believe it? They almost got me, and then this little horse girl came in and saved the day. Thank you Emily.”
Back tonight for the first time since February 4th SNL see host Woody Harrelson join the Five-Timer Club. Starting from host accommodation to the applause days from 1989 (followed by 1992, 2014 and 2019), Plumber in the White House Star Harrelson also signed up SNL back to the early days of the 2020 presidential campaign as then-candidate Joe Biden. It’s probably no coincidence that Jack White is rocking Studio 8H at 30 Rockefeller Plaza for the fifth time tonight. SNLmusical guest.
