Mike Myers Makes a Memorable Return to “Saturday Night Live”
Mike Myers made a triumphant return to “Saturday Night Live” after a 10-year hiatus, leaving a lasting impact on both the beginning and end of the show.
As the credits rolled, Myers joined host Shane Gillis and musical guest Tate McRae on stage wearing a black T-shirt that boldly stated “Canada is not for sale,” with a prominent Canadian flag in the center. Born in Scarborough, Ontario, Myers proudly displayed the message on his shirt, emphasizing his Canadian roots.
Additionally, he directed a message to the camera, saying, “Elbows up,” a phrase often used to signify readiness or self-protection.
Recent comments from President Donald Trump about annexing Canada and making it the 51st state have stirred controversy. Trump’s statements about the economic relationship between the U.S. and Canada have raised concerns, with him citing a perceived annual loss of $200 billion in dealings with Canada.
Myers also participated in the cold open of the show, portraying Elon Musk in a sketch that humorously depicted a meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. Myers’ comedic timing and presence added to the hilarity of the scene.
A former cast member of “SNL” from 1989 to 1995, Myers has left an indelible mark on the show with his iconic characters and sketches. While his appearances on the show have been sporadic in recent years, his return brought a sense of nostalgia and excitement to fans of the long-running comedy series.
