“Reacting to this would require me to waste my time watching it,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told Entertainment Weekly on Sunday. “And like the millions of Americans who have tuned out from ‘SNL,’ I have more entertaining things to do — like watch paint dry.”
In the first segment, Colin Jost’s gung-ho Pete Hegseth declares the “military is gay as hell” and instead should be full of “hot, shredded, hairless men who are definitely not gay.”
The fake defense secretary notes that the country is “facing the greatest threat to freedom and democracy the world has ever known, and we all know what that threat is ….”
“Late-night TV,” Johnson’s Trump breaks in. ”… I’m just here keeping my eye on ‘SNL.’ Making sure they don’t do anything too mean about me.”
“Here we are, ‘SNL’ season 51. Should have called it at 50, right?” the faux president says. “So sad to see something get old and confused and still demand your constant attention. Oh well! But they better be on their best behavior; otherwise, they’re going to have to answer to my attack dog at the FCC, Brandon Carr.” (Trump makes it clear to Mikey Day’s Carr that he doesn’t care that he got his first name wrong ― it’s Brendan.)
“And remember,” Trump warns the cast in closing. “Daddy’s watching.”
The FCC chair’s pressure on ABC reportedly led to the parent company, Disney, pulling talk show host and Trump critic Jimmy Kimmel from the air last month, before reinstating him a short time later.
In his “SNL” intro, Bad Bunny talked briefly in Spanish, playfully warning viewers that if they didn’t understand what he just said, they had 4 months until the Super Bowl to learn.
