The cast of “Saturday Night Live” returned to biting satire in their latest episode after previously asserting allegiance to President-elect Donald Trump. The episode featured a sketch mocking a meeting between Trump and outgoing president Joe Biden at the White House, with Trump’s cabinet picks portrayed as unconventional. The sketch included jokes about Melania Trump working remotely from divorce and Alec Baldwin making a cameo as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who embraced vaccine skepticism. Trump even offered Biden a position in his cabinet, but Biden said he would be too busy fighting Jake Paul. Another sketch spoofed a podcast geared towards a male audience, with Trump calling in to offer the hosts positions in his administration. The episode also featured a segment on “Weekend Update” mocking Trump’s choices, with co-host Colin Jost joking that Trump was announcing everyone he planned to fire in six months. Charli xcx served as both host and musical guest for the night. The episode of “SNL” aired on NBC, a division of NBCUniversal, which is the parent company of NBC News.
