The satirical show will
be back with its new season on Saturday, March 30 and it’s going to be delicious
to watch.
How delicious?
Remember the first
episode after Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election? The show opened with Kate McKinnon dressed as
Hillary Clinton singing Leonard Cohen’s mournful “Hallelujah”.
It was a bizarre
response to Granny’s cataclysmic loss just four days before that was more like a
lobotomy than recognition of Trump’s victory.
At the end of the song, McKinnon said, with her voice noticeably
cracking, “I’m not giving up and neither should you. And live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”
The announcement late Friday
afternoon that Special Counsel Robert Mueller had submitted his long-awaited
report on Russian interference in the 2016 election to Attorney General William
Barr sent Democrats, Hollywood types, Never Trumpers and a wide array of Lefty
news anchors and pundits into a shitstorm of panic.
The disappointment is real from Democrats who had their
hearts set on vindication that President Trump was going down. It’s as though
they actually thought he would be frog-marched out of the White House in leg irons.
Hollywood celebrities are inconsolable:
Sorry I Didn’t Get Back After Mueller Report. FK trump & TransSiberian Railroad he & Putin Rode 2 White House On‼️What I Think…This Is Karma,Like When Hitler Came 2 Power In Germany. He 2 Was a Egomaniacal White Supremacist.trump Is Like a Guilty Man Getting Away With Murder— Cher (@cher) March 23, 2019
Robert De Niro made a
couple of appearances on Saturday Night Live last year in the role of Robert
Mueller due, in large part, to a video he made in which he called the president
a punk, a pig and a dog, and said he would like to punch him in the face. At the 2018 Tony Awards he screamed at the top
of his lungs, “I’m gonna say one thing.
Fuck Trump!” The outburst won De Niro a
standing ovation.
De Niro has been driven
insane by his loathing of the president.
So…it wouldn’t surprise me at all that Lorne Michaels books him to do
the “Hallelujah” gig.
Now that’ll be funny.
