Mikey Day then shows up as a frozen Mitch McConnell, only able to give the peace sign and nearly derailing the fourth wall of the sketch when he mistakenly tries to say “Live from New York” too early.
Vice President JD Vance stopped by, played by Jeremy Culhane, and his lack of charisma was mocked when he started his camera test by saying, “Hi, I’m JD Vance,” before getting dismissed.
The sketch’s highlight was Colin Jost returning as Pete Hegseth, who immediately chugs one of Tom Holland’s Bero, which he refers to as, “Spider-Man’s New Non-Alcoholic B—- Beer.”
He also urges Republicans to do something shocking: “I need all you patriots at home to do the gayest thing ever and vote.”
He also noted that, “I’m putting the God back in war and it’s working. Our soldiers are praying a lot more than they used to.”
Trump, played by James Austin Johnson, also dropped by, saying, “Let me cook.”
The episode’s host is Dakota Johnson and the musical guest is Turnstile.
