After initially pledging allegiance to President-elect Donald Trump, “Saturday Night Live” cast members returned to biting satire in their latest episode. The show featured a sketch depicting a meeting between outgoing president Joe Biden and Trump at the White House, with Trump’s cabinet picks portrayed as unconventional. Biden’s dog attacking foreign leaders and Trump’s gripes about Elon Musk and Mar-a-Lago were among the comedic highlights. Alec Baldwin made a cameo as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., embracing vaccine skepticism. The show also presented a mock podcast geared towards a male audience called “Banger Boyz!” where Trump called in to appoint members of the podcast team to cabinet positions. The news segment “Weekend Update” analyzed Trump’s choices, with the incoming president jokingly announcing everyone he plans to fire in six months. The host of the night, Charli xcx, also served as the musical guest. The episode included sharp political commentary and humorous takes on Trump and his cabinet picks, showcasing the cast’s return to their signature satire. “SNL” airs on NBC, which is a division of NBCUniversal, the parent company of NBC News.
