This past weekend’s episode of “Saturday Night Live” saw the return of Mike Myers in a surprise cameo, where he once again portrayed Elon Musk in a hilarious sketch. The cold open of the show featured a fictional award show called The Trumps, dedicated to honoring the best in either being or succumbing to President Donald Trump. Trump, played by James Austin Johnson, invited Musk to the stage to receive a “lifetime achievement award for comedy, even though he might not always intend it.”
Musk’s character displayed a mix of hyperactivity and stoicism as he accepted the award, humorously stating, “I feel so emotionless to be here.” He continued by asserting his expertise in humor, declaring, “If anyone knows humor, it’s me. No tariffs on humor!”
Throughout the sketch, Trump entertained the audience with his witty remarks, joking about wanting more awards after receiving a Nobel Prize from a forgettable lady and needing distractions from the actions of his administration. The VP, played by Jeremy Culhane, and Kristi Noem, played by Ashley Padilla, were also featured in the sketch as nominees for best kiss, with both being nominated for kissing “Trump’s ass.” Despite Noem winning the award, Trump managed to snatch it away from her, showcasing his competitive nature.
The cold open of the show was filled with comedic moments and sharp satire, reflecting the current political climate with a humorous twist. To watch the full sketch, check out the video below.
