Tonight’s cold open from ‘Saturday Night Live’ had a very special surprise in store for the viewers when Lin-Manuel Miranda appeared on the screen behind the cast of ‘SNL’, dressed in 18th-century clothing in a scene of the signing of the declaration of independence.
Miranda, dressed in the same costume from the Broadway hit ‘Hamilton’, stood up from a corner under a compelling applause and said: ‘I say that our lives do not matter, even if we lose it for the matter of freedom. What counts is the nation that we have built up! Because all men are created in America! ”
“In America,” Miranda spit, “we will never have a king!”
James Austin Johnson while Donald Trump appeared with open hands and a grin on his face on stage and said: “Never say never! I’m in my royal age, “said Johnson.
“Just like my founders, I also create a new country. And just like them we do it very white. Workplaces should look like the TV program ‘The Office’. Usually white people, but with a funny black man who is having a hard time. We bring back the Stanley culture. “
While the scene from the 18th century was frozen behind an animated Johnson as Trump, he said: “Look at Lin. He was misled to come here, now that he is a frozen here. Now I am back in the White House. Everything is as it was again. ” Johnson while Trump thought about his son Barron, called him “my new favorite son” and commented at his height and how he bumps his head against everything. He said about the inauguration and called it “a huge success.” And said it was inside, “because of cold and fear.”
“We have received many surprising guests, such as Melania!” Johnson says. That was nice. ” He noticed the presence of billionaire friends “Zuck, Bezos and of course Elon. We love Elon, but to quote some of his own children: “I don’t want him in my life.”
“It is said that he has brought the Nazi greeting. Not true! ” Said Johnson. “He simply created a new greeting that was a cross between ‘Hello’ and ‘Hello’.” Johnson while Trump shared his opinion about the desire to have two sexes, “one to work and one to cook. We go back to common sense when it comes to gender. No more makeup on men, unless you need to become president, “he said.
“SNL” also jokes about the newly appointed Minister of Defense of Trump, Pete Hegseeth. ‘We fill my cabinet with some of the best people. They are all very good, except most. How great is Pete Hegseeth? He said he would stop drinking if he got the job, and that was all I wanted to hear! ”
‘Look at Lin. Look how much he wants to do a rap. The audience would have eaten that immediately. But we’re not going to hear it, “said Johnson, pointing to a frozen Miranda. Johnson went into the price of eggs a bit and said, “Who thought it would have been easier to reach a cease-fire in Gaza than to lower the price of eggs?”
“I want to thank Lin for his generous donation of one million dollars to my campaign. I know he was. “
“No, it wasn’t!” Miranda, who then stood shoulder to shoulder with Johnson, and the couple shouted the famous words: “Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!”
