‘Saturday Night Live’ cold open tackles Trump’s Tillerson and McCabe firings

March 18, 2018 by robert Leave a Comment

Last week, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and former FBI director Andrew McCabe were fired. The former happened at the behest of Donald Trump and the latter came at the end of an independent investigation that was in no way influenced by Trump’s frequent social media lashings of McCabe. Saturday Night Live seized on the White House upheaval in an Anderson Cooper-led (Alex Moffat) cold open featuring interviews with Tillerson (John Goodman); Attorney General Jeff Sessions (Kate McKinnon), who fired McCabe; former White House communications director Anthony “The Mooch” Scaramucci (Bill Hader); and Fire and Fury author Michael Wolff (Fred Armisen). The sketch kind of writes itself. Each player riffs on the news of the moment in their own special way, from Goodman addressing his rumored on-the-toilet firing and “Moron-gate” to to Wolff and the Mooch’s unusual grasp on reality. Also, McKinnon’s impossibly weird take on Sessions is perfect, as usual. ‘The Office’ made a ‘Making a Murderer’ parody about the Scranton Strangler Kendall Jenner makes a cameo in Lil Dicky video and sings about her vagina This super freaky ski lift glitch reminds us that life is a nightmarish simulation Arcade Fire’s new short film stars Toni Collette as a creepy music industry mogul
