The cold open of the “SNL” began with Vice President Mike Pence talking to Alabama Senator Roy Moore about his sex scandal from 40 years ago in which he allegedly had relations with a girl who was 14 years old. While the show general makes fun of Donald Trump, this week the sketch comedy show focused instead on Moore. Watch the “Saturday Night Live” video below.
With the exception of the cold open that had Jason Aldean singing “I Won’t Back Down” in October, following the shooting massacre outside the Mandalay Bay Casino Hotel in Las Vegas where the country singer was performing at the Route 61 Harvest Festival, the rest of the cold opens during Season 43 have been about the president. Last week, for instance, the late-night comedy show lampooned Trump’s connection to Paul Manafort, a former aide to the president who was charged last month with tax fraud and money laundering. At one point in the bit, Trump and Manfort were in a shower together with Pence and Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
The show before that, for instance, spoofed Trump telling Pence to leave a Colts game when their opponents, the San Francisco 49ers, took a knee during the National Anthem. That same cold open had jokes about Secretary of State Rex Tillerson possibly having called Trump a “moron” and the president’s proposed tax plan. And this season’s premiere began with the Commander-In-Chief being the butt of jokes about his handling of Puerto Rico in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, as well as for his harsh words for North Korea and kneeling NFL players.
“SNL” didn’t even really take a break this past summer from mocking Trump, who was the main subject of virtually every cold open last season as he ran for president, debated Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and later took office. Over the summer, the sketch comedy program aired three primetime “Weekend Update” specials. In those 30-minute episodes, Trump was skewered for, among other topics, his remarks following the white supremacists and neo-Nazis’ march in Charlottesville.
