“Saturday Night Live' will be heading in a new direction as it looks toward a second term for Donald Trump in its first post-election episode. Comedian Bill Burr will be host for the second time. But most eyes will be on its first sketch, known as the cold open.
Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris appears on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” with Maya Rudolph , Saturday, Nov. 2, 2024 in New York. Harris has made an unannounced trip to New York to appear briefly stepping away from the battleground states she’s been campaigning in with just three days to go before the election. FILE - Bill Burr , a cast member in “Unfrosted,” poses at the premiere of the Netflix film at the Egyptian Theatre, April 30, 2024, in Los Angeles.
But most eyes will be on the NBC sketch institution’s cold open, and the signal it gives about what four more years will mean for the generally liberal-leaning show, other than steady employment for cast member James Austin Johnson, who does a Trump impression that has become definitive.— the central star, culminating last week in an appearance by Harris herself, with a giddy pre-election energy in the air.
“And even though it all went wrong, I’ll stand before the lord of song with nothing on my tongue but ‘Hallelujah,” McKinnon sang in what became a national moment of catharsis for those on the losing side. After finishing, McKinnon said, with a shaky voice, “I’m not giving up and neither should you” before delivering the obligatory “live from New York, it’s Saturday night!”hosted that episode. One sketch featured him and another Black comic-actor, Chris Rock, watching election returns with white liberals, who are shocked by the results, unlike their Black guests.
