Saturday Night Live didn’t waste any time on the most recent episode, spoofing Donald Trump and Joe Biden‘s historic Oval Office meeting on the White House earlier this week.
“Hello everybody. Thanks to the press for joining us to document this very necessary presidential transition meeting. I’m being serious at once. Although we disagree, I’m desirous to sit down for a respectful conversation,” Dana Carvey’s Biden says.
“Yeah, get a load of me. As a substitute of being rude and crazy like usual, I’m doing quiet and serene, which in some ways is rather a lot scarier,” James Austin Johnson’s Trump adds before Biden continues, “I’m gonna sit here and smile while ignoring the enormous fire right behind me.”
Trump later complains about how he “forgot how boring [being] president is.”
“I like running, hate being,” he continues. “And I hate the White House, so old, so dated. So lots of the carpets are stinky and sticky at the identical time. Form of like being at a Regal Cinemas. Now I even have to live here for the following 4 years, possibly longer.”
“But I can’t return to Mar-a-Lago, Joe, because Elon [Musk] is there and he is not going to leave,” Johnson’s Trump adds. “It’s like, What About Bob? He’s walking around in his bathing suit, showing me videos of rockets and monkeys with computers of their heads. This guy’s cringe.”
After Carvey’s Biden attempted to present the president-elect some advice about being president, Trump says, “I already know find out how to do president.”
“It’s all about surrounding yourself with the perfect people and I’m very fastly picking essentially the most epic cabinet of all time,” he explains. “They’re a few of the most dynamic, freethinking, animal killing, sexually criminal, medically crazy people within the country.”
Trump then proceeds to share a few of his cabinet picks up to now, including Elon Musk (who will run the newly-created Department of Government Efficiency with Vivek Ramaswamy) and Rep. Matt Gaetz (who was tapped as attorney general). “That’s an alien versus predator,” he says. “Gov. Kristi Noem (who was picked for the role of secretary of the Department of Homeland Security) and RFJ. Jr., they’re killing the dogs, they’re killing the bears, and Melania will probably be working remotely from divorce.”
Biden responds, “I see what you’re doing with these nominations. You’re picking a bunch of wacko, jackos to check out how compliant the Senate will probably be along with your policies.”
Later throughout the cold open, the president-elect also brought out a few of his controversial cabinet picks, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., played by Alec Baldwin, and Gaetz, played by Sarah Sherman.
“I don’t wish to hassle you. I just desired to thanks for nominating me for attorney general. I’m gonna do an important job,” Gaetz says. “If anyone tries to interrupt the law, I’ll tell him what I told my eyebrows: freeze.”
A confused Biden says in response, “Are you serious with this guy? He’s giving me the ick.” Trump adds, “Me too, but I feel he’s gonna be terrific.”
Baldwin’s Kennedy walks in after, telling the president-elect, “I’m so honored to be the pinnacle of the Health and Human Services Department. Americans need someone to show them find out how to be healthy. Someone like me, a 70-year-old man with movie star looks and a worm in his brain. … I care deeply a few woman’s right to decide on, to decide on to present her child Polio. I just wish people would take my appointment more seriously.”
Charli XCX made her hosting debut on NBC’s sketch comedy show on Saturday, where she was also the musical guest.
The pop star kicked off her opening monologue, saying, “You would possibly know me from my album, Brat. But don’t worry in case you don’t, there may be nothing fallacious with being straight.”
She also shared that she began acting at a young age, playing her first rave at just 15 years old. “I’ve come a great distance and today I consider myself to be a triple threat in England, which suggests I sing, I drink and I smoke,” the singer quipped.
Charli also talked about her “Brat Summer” phenomenon, calling it a “crazy experience.”
“So many individuals have asked me, ‘What’s brat?’ And truthfully, it’s identical to an attitude, it’s a vibe,” she explained. “For instance, in the brand new Martha Stewart documentary when Martha gets mad about an old magazine article and says that she’s glad the journalist who wrote it’s dead, that’s brat.”
Y2K actor Kyle Mooney also made a surprise appearance during Charli’s monologue.
