Cold Open This has to be one of worst “impressions” of all time

Seriously what the hell was this? He didn’t even try to sound or act like him at all. Doesn’t look like him either. Was literally nobody else available to do this? Also they tried to humanize him as a reasonable guy. He’s just as evil and crooked as anyone else in the regime. Terrible. 0/10 performance.

It seems like they just wanted to roast the ICE agents themselves, which fair, but they could have done that without this sorry excuse of an impression.

"This could be wrong, but that you hired a bunch of angry, aggressive guys, gave us guns, and didn't train us, so this is maybe what you wanted to happen?"

Cold Open Cardi B has the chance to do the funniest thing

2.4k Upvotes

Given how the stars have aligned to have Cardi B on the show the same week Nicki Minaj has debased herself by becoming a MAGA puppet it would be absolutely amazing if Cardi B plays Nicki Minaj in the cold open this week.

Between their beef and the polar opposite politics they have it would be hilarious.

Cold Open I’m tired of parody trump doing the opening

558 Upvotes

I get it, it’s the easiest, safest spot for a political skit. But it’s become so reoccurring.. it’s almost like you’ve accidental pigeonholed your political skits into openings only.

Let’s change it up. I want mutliple cast members and guest to be part of the famous opening call.

It’s getting a little weird and annoying this repetitive use of parody trump as the opening.

You could easily have a reoccurring the office style skit of the White House or a Californias style skit of trump.

Idk maybe I am alone here.
