Donald Trump ‘SNL’ Review: ‘I Have Nothing Better To Do’

Host Donald Trump kicked off this week’s Saturday Night Live with an opening monologue that demonstrated all the reasons it wasn’t a good idea for him to host SNL. He joked that he was doing the show “because I have nothing better to do” and brought up his old insult of Rosie O’Donnell, just as the rest of America had begun to forget it. The punchline for that joke was that he’d been supposedly mistaking cast member Aidy Bryant for O’Donnell all week. So, Trump being unable to distinguish between two different women is funny?

“I know how to take a joke,” Trump insisted, and to prove it, he stood onstage while Taran Killam and Darrell Hammond impersonated him. Then Larry David — who’d made his second, and this time exceedingly unfunny, appearance as Bernie Sanders in the cold-open segment — stood offstage and shouted, “Trump’s a racist,” adding, “I heard if I yelled that they’d give me $5,000.” This was an attempt to preempt the reported offer made by the protest group Deport Racism 2016 to anyone who interrupted the show. Even this early on, it was hard to believe we were going to have to endure a full show of this.
