In the latest episode of “Saturday Night Live” following its 50th anniversary special, the show tackled the clash between the presidents of the United States and Ukraine. James Austin Johnson played President Donald Trump and was backed up by Bowen Yang’s Vice President JD Vance in a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The skit parodied the real-life meeting between the leaders, with Vance criticizing Zelenskyy for not showing gratitude to the U.S. and belittling him.
Marcello Hernández portrayed Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who struggled to communicate with the English-speaking characters. Trump and Vance pressured Zelenskyy to show love for Russian President Vladimir Putin, despite the ongoing war in Ukraine.
The skit also featured Mike Myers as Elon Musk, a Trump advisor who advocated for eliminating nonessential employees, likening it to firing air traffic controllers to increase efficiency. Musk’s unconventional humor was showcased, with him proclaiming, “Legalize comedy!”
The episode also included musical guest Tate McRae and host Shane Gillis. “Saturday Night Live” airs on NBC, which is a division of NBCUniversal, the parent company of NBC News. The skit humorously addressed political tensions between the U.S. and Ukraine, as well as Elon Musk’s controversial statements and actions.
