‘SNL’ Takes A Swipe At Morgan Wallen & God’s Country, Tesla Vandalism & Trump’s “Historically Awesome” Tariffs Speech In Cold Open

deadline.com:

A week after Morgan Wallen stalked off SNL the NBC late nighter made sure the door hit the hit the I’m the Problem singer on the way out. “Get me to God’s county,” mocked Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson) in a direct swipe at controversy inviting Wallen’s merch inspiring post-SNL March 29 Instagram post of his private jet heading to Nashville and the caption, “Get me to God’s country.” Coming at the tail end of SNL’s ripping of POTUS’ April 2 borderline incoherent Liberation Day tariffs speech, the jibe at Wallen’s discourtesy got a roar from the crowd in Studio 8H.

Beyond the witty takedown of the just plain rude Wallen, Liberation Day came to Saturday Night Live tonight, as did the Cheesecake Factory menu and once again Mike Myers.

Back as Elon Musk for Trump’s rambling Rose Garden announcement of reciprocal tariffs kneecapping the global economy, Myers’ literally and figuratively glitchy DOGE chief offered an increasingly anti-Tesla America a new electric option. “We are introducing the new Tesla Model V, the first electric car in history to be fully self-vandalizing,” Myers’ Musk proclaimed.

Building off Musk’s unpopularity and the wide spread attacks on Tesla dealerships and cars across America and Europe in the real world, SNL‘s Model V comes with “features like self-smashing headlights, self-slashing tires, and A.I.-powered graffiti,” Myers’ Musk promised.
