The recent episode of “Saturday Night Live” was a treat for fans, featuring a surprise appearance by Mike Myers. Known for his comedic genius, Myers dropped by 30 Rock to portray Elon Musk during the show’s cold open. The sketch humorously reimagined a chaotic meeting between Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
In this lively skit, James Austin Johnson impersonated Trump, welcoming Zelenskyy with a cheeky comment about his outfit. “Thank you for dressing like casual Star Trek,” he quipped, referencing the sci-fi series in a rather amusing way.
Mikey Day took on the role of Zelenskyy, but his character didn’t get to speak much. The sketch highlighted the chaotic interruptions that plagued the real meeting, with Bowen Yang’s JD Vance jumping in to dominate the conversation.
Vance’s character quickly put Zelenskyy on the defensive, demanding gratitude for his looks. Each time Zelenskyy attempted to respond, Vance wouldn’t let him get a word in, insisting, “You’re in America House now!”
Johnson’s Trump even played off the real meeting’s infamous “I have the cards” line, claiming, “I have Skip, I have Draw Four, I have Get Out of Jail Free.” The humor was as sharp as ever, making light of serious topics in a classic SNL style.
Myers made a splash as Musk, causing the audience to cheer. His impression was both witty and fitting, drawing on elements from Austin Powers for added flair. “What are you doing in my office? I’m the president now!” Myers jested, before launching into a chant of “Legalize comedy!”
He also poked fun at the controversies surrounding firings in his workplace, saying, “They say I’m firing people without cause. But I do have cause. It’s because I feel like it.”
This episode showcased the brilliance of combining political humor with celebrity impressions, reminding us all of the unique charm of “Saturday Night Live.” You can catch the full sketch below!
