Saturday Night Live is back with another political cold open.
The special counsel investigation is over, which means its time for SNL to bring Robert Mueller and Donald Trump together. Alec Baldwin, as President Donald Trump, returns to spin Robert De Niro’s Muller Report alongside Attorney General William Barr (Aidy Bryant).
In the clip, the cold open tackled Muller’s 380 pages by shortening it to Barr’s four-page summary and President Trump’s shorthand tweets.
“I am reading zero pages,” Baldwin’s Trump said. “But Sean Hannity has read it and he was so excited that he texted me an eggplant.”
The exchange between all three of them gets better from there. Later, Baldwin’s Trump says, “Russia, if you’re watching, go to bed. Daddy won.”
Mueller then shares his wishes to make the report public. “In conclusion, it is my hope this report will be made public with a few redactions,” Mueller said later, to which Trump replied, “We’re going to black out everything except the words ‘no’ and ‘collusion.’”
