In the recent episode of “Saturday Night Live,” the show wasted no time addressing the clash between the presidents of the United States and Ukraine. James Austin Johnson portrayed President Donald Trump, supported by Bowen Yang as Vice President JD Vance, in a satirical meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The skit parodied the real meeting where tensions arose over ending Ukraine’s U.S.-backed war with Russia.
Yang’s Vance, along with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, portrayed by Marcello Hernández, mocked Zelenskyy for not showing gratitude and failing to acknowledge their physical appearance. The comedy skit also touched on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the pressure Zelenskyy faces to negotiate a resolution with Russia.
Furthermore, the skit featured Mike Myers as Trump advisor Elon Musk, who joked about eliminating nonessential government employees, including air traffic controllers. Musk’s character humorously suggested that some planes may land upside down, but it would ensure efficient luggage delivery.
Throughout the episode, “SNL” took jabs at the political tensions between the U.S. and Ukraine, while also incorporating humor and satire regarding Elon Musk’s controversial comments and sense of humor. The episode was hosted by Shane Gillis, with Tate McRae as the musical guest. The skits highlighted the ongoing political climate while infusing humor and satire to entertain viewers.
