New York, NY – “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) opened its latest episode with a satirical skit depicting a disastrous White House meeting between former President Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson), Vice President JD Vance (Bowen Yang), and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy (Mikey Day). The sketch, which portrayed Trump and Vance berating Zelenskyy and echoing Russian propaganda, culminated in the unexpected appearance of Elon Musk (Mike Myers), humorously presented as the newly elected president.
The skit exaggerated the reportedly tense real-life encounter, showing Trump and Vance demanding gratitude and criticizing Zelenskyy’s attire while spouting nonsensical claims about card games and the supposed “Epstein Files” release. Musk, in a T-shirt and jeans, further fueled the chaotic scenario, announcing mass government firings, including of “non-essential” employees like air traffic controllers, and introducing a new initiative called “DOUCHE” (Department of Undoing Child Health care and Education).
The SNL sketch followed a tumultuous real-world meeting where Trump and Vance allegedly criticized Zelenskyy and parroted Russian talking points, demanding concessions from Ukraine. The comedic portrayal sparked online discussion, reflecting the ongoing global impact of the Trump-Zelenskyy exchange. The episode also marked the return of host Shane Gillis, who addressed his past controversy with the show. Next week, Lady Gaga will host and serve as musical guest.
