Saturday Night Live opened with a musical salute to the holiday season’s ability to make people block out all of their anxieties and worries, whether it be a drinking problem, Elon Musk owning Twitter, or Adolf Hitler being invoked in political discourse.

Watch the cold open in the video posted above. Bowen Yang, Cecily Strong and Kenan Thompson got into the Christmas spirit with their extended song, It’s Christmas.

Strong: “Elon, why does he own all the stuff? Why does he have to run Tesla and Twitter? Was outer space not enough? Yang: “And Hitler?

When did Hitler come back? We basically all agreed years ago, Hitler should never come back. Thompson: “And why are his new fans black?” The chorus: “Let’s block it all out for Christmas!“ The song was a reference to Kanye West’s praise of Hitler when he was on Alex Jones’ show, but also reflected recent visibility given to neo-Nazi figures, like Nick Fuentes, who dined with West and former President Donald Trump.
