11:30 p.m. ET on NBC. If this guy can make this show funny, making America great again will be a snap.
If heâs smart, and he is, 80 percent of the jokes will be at his own expense. The intrigue lies with the other 20 percent. How nasty will he and the cast get with his competition? Tonightâs an unusual opportunity for Trump to humiliate the other candidates in front of a big audience, if SNL is willing to play along. A cutting joke about Carson or Bush or Rubio will become a prism through which some low-information voters view them going forward, just as Trumpâs own âlow energyâ putdown of Jeb ended up sticking to him. Thatâs a big subplot tonight: How eager will the mostly liberal SNL writers be to help Trump score points against the rest of the field?
The other big subplot is whether anyone will disrupt the show. That dopey PAC that made the ad of little kids cursing at Trump over immigration has been publicizing a $5,000 reward for any audience member who shouts âTrump is a racistâ while the broadcast is in progress. Iâve even seen speculation on social media that the cast itself might double-cross Trump somehow by doing something to humiliate him because of his politics. Iâll believe that when I see it, but this gets to the special intrigue of Trump appearing on this show of all shows: You never know whatâll come out of his mouth and you never know what might go wrong on live TV. Anything can happen.

Or something....it all was just SO weird!
He looka like a man.
I really don’t know; if it is, no men’s fashion sections have said so.
LOL
It’s been fun, well, except for the Debbie Downers and you know who you are. I’m off to watch The X-Factor UK. Ciao.
That was pretty stinging!
The Donald made thru w/no protests or controversy.
"I haven't been to the White House since the 90s...oh yeah, I think I hit my head on the desk."
Then Trump comes out to disavow the sketch and then as the cameras fade, he asks one of them "Hey, didn't you use to be a brunette?"
I agree with that. I don’t remember the original SNL ever getting that raunchy.
That was a double smack to Hillarity.
;D
I noticed in the closing, the Larry David guy was smirking at DT and they both went there separate ways. No hand shake, nada. Donald and Ivanka went right and David went Left. Very obvious. CONTEMPT on Davids part IMO.
I haven’t watched it in 30 + years and won’t again, even if THE DONALD is on it.
Then you don’t remember the skit of a band playing while Gilda Radner sang about her f**ked up fans, I guess.
The sketch with Trump as President was hilarious as was the live tweeting sketch....the rest, not so much. I think it was a plus for Trump, though, like you said.
I admit, I fell asleep at the bland skit with the tweets.
And now, I remember why I don’t watch SNL any longer.
But I have to say, I was introduced to *Sia*...had never heard of her B4.
I have a theory that some of these rude Cruz supporters are actually GOPe shills pretending to be Cruz supporters. They viciously attack Trump, and in turn, they turn people against Cruz. This helps them kill two birds with one stone on behalf of the GOPe: destroy Trump and destroy Cruz.
One ‘tell’ they have is how they defend megyn kelly, a GOPe shill who hates both Trump and Cruz. A true Cruz supporter would not defend megyn.
I will watch if Alice is on.
:D
I may be oldish, but I know what is REALLY funny and clever; this show was neither.
That was a raunchy skit....he did come on at the end to say he did NOT endorse it.
OVerall, this show was a win for Trump.
Maybe that’s joke...Sia/Seeya and she doesn’t.
:D
[and I’ve just read that she is a despressed, lesbian addict...swell]
