The latest episode of 'Saturday Night Live' featured a comedic cold open that parodied the recent contentious meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. The skit portrayed Trump, played by James Austin Johnson, criticizing Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit and demanding expressions of gratitude, which were exaggerated for comedic effect. Mikey Day portrayed Zelenskyy, while Bowen Yang took on the role of Vice President Vance, who humorously pressed Zelenskyy for appreciation. Mike Myers made a surprise appearance as Elon Musk, adding to the absurdity by humorously claiming to be the new president and introducing a fictional government initiative. The skit drew mixed reactions online, with many praising its comedic genius while also noting the serious undertones of the real-life meeting. This episode marked a return for 'SNL' after its anniversary celebration, showcasing the show's continued engagement with current events.
