“Oh, it’s wonderful to be here in the town of East Palestine, not a great name,” said the James Austin Johnson portrayed Donald Trump tonight kicking off Saturday Night Live. “I’m here and I brought hats, cameras and hats” he added after taking a swipe at Joe Biden for visiting the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv and Volodymyr Zelenskyy earlier this week and had a visit from his own legal troubles.

It’s great. It’s wearing makeup, like Fenty beauty water.” Johnson proceeds to shoutout Rihanna for her Feb. 12 halftime show at Super Bowl LVII, commenting on her pregnancy. Regaining focus, Johnson directs blame at the man he identifies as the one true culprit.

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large “Saturday Night Live” opened its third episode of the season by taking on Jan. 6 committee hearings, starting  Kenan Thompson as United States Representative Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS). And the theme of the sketch was quite simple: No matter how bad the attempts to stage a coup and overthrow the nation were, there’s no accountability in this country… and nothing will ultimately come of it. Donald Trump will roam free, there’s little chance he’ll actually live up to the subpoena to appear in front of the committee, and there’s nothing they can do about it. Liz Cheney, played by Heidi Gardner,  noted that “Over the past few months, this bipartisan committee has presented our case to all Americans. Whether you’re a Republican who’s not watching or a Democrat who’s nodding so hard your head is falling off, one person is responsible for this insurrection: Donald Trump. And one person will suffer the consequences: Me. You might be wondering what makes me so tough. And I asked you who was your dad? … You could say I have big Dick Cheney energy.”

The latest: Armie Hammer, 36, was seen at a Santa Monica golf club on Tuesday, days after he was spoofed on Saturday Night Live about his sex abuse scandalHammer was seen days after he was played by James Austin Johnson in an SNL skit of a game show titled Send Something Normal, with the premise being celebrities choosing how to respond to flirty DMs on Instagram. Vocalist Adam Levine and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson were also parodied as contestants in the skit, while cast member Bowen Yang played himself.

Saturday Night Live kicked off this weekend (marking the first appearances of the various new SNL cast members). Top Gun: Maverick star Miles Teller hosted the show and did a great job committing to several hilarious and memorable sketches. Speaking of those skits, the show unsurprisingly lampooned events related to Adam Levine’s alleged cheating scandal timeline, and the show didn't hold back when it came to satirizing aspects of the situation.
