The classic SNL Cold Open kicks off with Fox’s Laura Ingram ( Kate McKinnon) interviewing first ‘Ted Cruz’ (Aidy Bryant) and then ‘Donald Trump’ (played ably by James Austin Johnson.)
‘Talk of the 2024 Republican Primary is already heating up, so let’s talk to the svelte, muscular, 230-pound gorilla in the room, Donald Trump,’ McKinnon’s Ingraham said, introducing him.
‘It’s wonderful to be here. I’m back, just like Tiger King II. You had fun the first time, and now you’re like, “How are more people from this not in jail yet?”‘ Johnson’s Trump joked.
