Portrayed by James Austin Johnson, Trump appeared in a white “USA” cap and opened, “Good evening, and happy World War III to all who celebrate. It’s me, Donald Trump, FIFA Peace Prize winner and Nobel Peace Prize taker.”
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.
As we all know, Iran has been two weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon for like the last 15 years or something,’ James Austin Johnson’s Trump said
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.
Hilary Knight and Megan Keller teased fellow gold medalists on the men's hockey team during Connor Storrie's "SNL" monologue.
The remark was a clear reference to a controversy that arose when the men received a congratulatory call from President Trump.
Storrie was then joined by two members of the gold medal-winning American hockey team, as well gold medal-winners from the women's hockey team. Suffice it to say, only the female Olympians had watched Heated Rivalry.
