As a lifelong fan of Saturday Night Live, I can confidently say that this week’s episode was a hilarious throwback to the past and a promising glimpse into the future. Dana Carvey’s Biden and James Austin Johnson’s Trump delivered an impeccable rendition of their characters, reminding us why they were such a significant part of our political satire landscape. The cold open was a masterclass in comedic timing, with each line bringing both laughter and a sense of unease due to its uncanny resemblance to real-life politics.
On Saturday evening, Saturday Night Live promptly poked fun at Donald Trump and Joe Biden’s unprecedented meeting in the Oval Office at the White House that occurred recently.
Greetings everyone. We’re grateful that the media is here with us today to record this significant discussion about the presidential transition. Let me emphasize, I speak sincerely at this moment. Despite our differences, I look forward to engaging in a polite dialogue.” (Dana Carvey as Biden)
Indeed, take notice. Instead of my typical brash and impolite behavior, I’m opting for a calm and tranquil demeanor today, which, in many ways, is even more unsettling,” James Austin Johnson’s Trump says, followed by Biden remarking, “I’ll remain seated here with a smile on my face, seemingly oblivious to the massive blaze just beyond me.
In a later scene, the newly elected president introduced a few contentious choices for his cabinet, such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., portrayed by Alec Baldwin, and Representative Matt Gaetz, represented by Sarah Sherman.
On Saturday, Charli XCX will make her first appearance as a host on NBC’s humorous variety show, where she’ll also perform musically.
More to come.
