Clearly, the “Saturday Night Live” writing team had a lot of work to do on Saturday, as they opened the show with a sketch about President Trump’s early morning attack on Iran.
In the Feb. 28 cold open, Trump (played by James Austin Johnson) gives a press conference about the military action.
“It’s me, Donald Trump, FIFA Peace Prize winner and Nobel Peace Prize taker,” he began. “Remember that? I launched this attack after me and my board of peace…we were bored of peace. As we all know, Iran has been two weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon for like the last 15 years or something. So we had to act now, and we’re doing war.”
Trump soon brought out his secretary of war Pete Hegseth (played by Colin Jost) to speak on the military action.
“They asked for someone to volunteer to receive his half-baked operation, and I didn’t walk — I ran,” Jost-as-Hegseth said. “President Trump called me at two in the morning, and you know, I was awake, sober AF.”
Hegseth then admitted that “I don’t know what I’m doing.”

So lame….
This seems like a good way to get investigated by the FCC.
Going after the Administration when the attack is less than 24 hours old...I suppose that’s a choice but I’d imagine “jokes” like that would have limited appeal even to usual the SNL audience.
Your objections were valid before the war started.
Now you are just a lame POS….looking to say “I told you so”
I wish I could meet you face to face.
This “comedy show” was funny in the 1970’s. Not since.
It is just a liberal pukefest now.
On the street or in an airport concourse or local restaurant is my dream
Well isn’t that special.
Norm MacDonald (RIP) was funny. That was almost 30 years ago.
SNL went “hate America” years ago. The only reason a non-commie trash is invited is to mock them.
SNL has been leftist propaganda from the beginning.
Soviet-style humor. Laugh or go to the gulag.
“””Norm MacDonald (RIP) was funny. That was almost 30 years ago.”””
I haven’t watched the show in decades. I see bits and pieces occasionally. But Norm was a funny guy.
I saw a poll years ago that asked people where they got their news. A large chunk of them said late night shows. That explains why they are so clueless. So a show like SNL that was once funny turned into a liberal propaganda show disguised as comedy. The brainwashing continues.
Maybe 20-30 years ago.
Today? No one watches Colbert or Kimmel.
Stop watching that show.
Even if you think you’re providing some service by “knowing how the enemy thinks”, or some other such BS - you’re just giving them ratings.
......This “comedy show” was funny in the 1970’s. Not since......
RIGHT!!
So, the left and the democrats now stand with the terrorists in Iran who have destabilized the world for 50 or so years, child rapists, pedophiles, Mexican and South American drug cartels, human slavery, child and woman sex trafficking, organized theft, carjacking, murderers, sexual perversions of every kind, and a host of other nastiness.
Way to go democrats.
BTW, I was a democrat. You people are not. You are some hybrid Marxist-Maoist Genital-cum-perversion.
