Saturday Night Live opened with Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson), who touted himself as peacemaker, now addressing the country exulting in war with Iran. With the U.S. and Israel launching strikes on the Iranian regime early on Saturday, killing the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, the show scrambled plans for the cold open.

Jack and Quinn Hughes from the men's team and Megan Keller and Hilary Knight from the women's team made a surprise 'Saturday Night Live' appearance.

Saturday Night Live parodies President Trump's late-night announcement of U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran this weekend. President Trump is played by James Austin Johnson and War Secretary Pete Hegseth by Colin Jost.
