SNL’s Latest Cold Open: A Hilarious Trump Parody
Saturday Night Live (SNL) kicked off its latest episode with a sidesplitting cold open, featuring James Austin Johnson as Donald Trump. The sketch began with Trump making a series of urgent phone calls from the Oval Office, leaving viewers in stitches.
The first call was to none other than Tiger Woods, played by Kenan Thompson, who was supposedly in rehab. Trump rang up Woods to discuss his golf game, asking if he would be playing in any upcoming tournaments. The conversation quickly took a turn for the absurd, with Trump claiming he had the best words and the best golf swing.

Next, Trump called his wife, Melania Trump, played by Chloe Fineman. The call came after Melania’s statement regarding the Epstein scandal, and Trump’s conversation with her was just as ridiculous as the first. He asked her about her statement, and she responded with a series of awkward and humorous comments.
The final call was to Pete Hegseth, played by Colin Jost, a self-proclaimed draft fan. Trump asked Hegseth about his draft-taking abilities, and the conversation quickly devolved into a hilarious discussion about the importance of a good draft.
A Hilarious Skit
The SNL cold open was a masterclass in comedy, with each call more absurd than the last. James Austin Johnson’s portrayal of Trump was spot-on, capturing the former president’s unique mannerisms and speech patterns. The sketch was a perfect example of SNL’s ability to tackle tough topics and turn them into hilarious comedy gold.
