Trump on SNL: A Recap of His Recent 'Legal-ish' Year

Since the start of the new year, there’s been way too much news for even “Saturday Night Live” to process, so there was only one way to address it all: a recap by President Trump and the members of his cabinet. The first new “S.N.L.” broadcast of 2026, hosted by Finn Wolfhard and featuring the musical guest ASAP Rocky, led off in familiar fashion with James Austin Johnson playing President Trump as he addressed America from the White House. Expressing the hope that everyone got what they wanted for Christmas, Johnson said, “I got what I wanted. My very own someone else’s Nobel Prize, which I’ll cherish.” (He briefly held up a replica of the medal the Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado had presented to him, then tossed it aside.) He added that he had deposed the former president, Nicolás Maduro, by running “a reverse Santa on him: We came down the chimney with a bag and took him away.”
