Saturday Night Live sketch as Elon Musk.The Austin Powers actor has been portraying the billionaire on the sketch show recently – last week playing Musk holding a chainsaw in a spoof of the tense White House meeting between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.In this weekend’s (March 8) episode hosted by Lady Gaga, Myers returned in a cold open sketch taking aim at reports of behind-the-scenes tensions between Musk and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.In the skit, James Austin Johnson’s Trump tries to mediate tensions between the two, as fans are also given a comic insight into their inner thoughts.In one moment, Rubio (Marcello Hernandez) looks on in despair as Trump decides he wants Thailand after watching The White Lotus, all while the Curb Your Enthusiam theme plays, while when Rubio talks, Trump’s inner thoughts declare: “So boring, this guy can’t stop talking. Who the hell does he think he is, Adrien Brody?” in reference to the actor’s recent Oscar speech.Trump then brings in Myers’s Musk, who proceeds to childishly mock Rubio before we get his inner thoughts.“Phase one of my plan is complete: ingratiate yourself to the President and take over the media.

I would die,” Day continued, as Jost tried not to laugh.“Oh, I would die! What a living nightmare! What a nightmare!” Day said, as the audience cheered.Day added, “Oh, I’m sorry.

past 25 years, the 59-year-old photographer has been shooting always iconic, often whimsical portraits of stars to serve as “bumpers” — images that appear on screen before a commercial break — for “Saturday Night Live.”“The bumpers are probably the least appreciated part of the show, but anybody who knows the show knows how much they mean,” the show’s head honcho, Lorne Michaels, writes in the foreword to Matthew’s new book, “The Art of the SNL Portrait” (Harry N.
