Trump Distracts MSNBC With A Nonsensical Solution To Wildfires In 'SNL' Cold Open
HuffPost
The president-elect's sparked a storm of "breaking news" alerts that made Joy Reid declare that he was "designed by the devil to break" her spirit.
President-elect Donald Trump (played by James Austin Johnson) found a way to distract MSNBC from covering “tech billionaires buying our democracy” and the TikTok ban in the “Saturday Night Live” cold open this weekend.
The mock MSNBC inauguration week panel featured Joy Reid (played by Ego Nwodim), who declared that “this time around” the network wouldn’t be “sucked in by every new shiny, crazy statement” from Trump.
But the network abandoned Reid’s game plan within seconds as a “breaking news” alert appeared on the screen.
“Trump has apparently just told reporters that he would like to, ‘trade Connecticut for Italy,’” said MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow (played by Sarah Sherman). “I mean, that’s just crazy.”
“Rachel, Rachel, see this is what I mean. We can’t have a repeat of 2016,” urged Nwodim’s Reid.
