SNL writers had just hours to craft a script about the Iran strikes, and now the sketch is taking the internet by storm.
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.
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.
