‘SNL’: Trump Crashes Mother’s Day Celebration, Cecily Strong Returns as Jeanine Pirro in Cold Open | Video

President Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson) interrupted Bowen Yang, Marcello Hernández and Kenan Thompson’s sweet Mother’s Day celebration in this week’s “Saturday Night Live” cold open in order to celebrate the election of the first American pope and introduce viewers to the new United States attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro (a returning Cecily Strong).

Before Yang, Thompson and Hernández’s Mother’s Day song could reach its chorus, Johnson’s Trump came in to crash their party. “It’s me again, invading all aspects of your life!” he announced, while shooing the “SNL” cast members and their “moms” offstage. “Don’t worry. Those aren’t even the real moms. Those are actors! Can you believe that? ‘SNL’ wouldn’t spring for the flights.”

“There’s a new pope from Chicago,” Johnson’s Trump said, referencing the election this week of Illinois native Robert Prevost, now known as Pope Leo XIV. “We like Pope Leo. We hope he does… what we want. That’s what you want the pope to do — what you want, right? Otherwise, I’ll have to send [Vice President] JD [Vance] back to do his thing. Remember the last time JD met the pope?”

“He’s got the Midas Touch, but for bad things!” Johnson’s Trump observed of his vice president. “He meets the pope? Dead! Goes to India? War! He joins my campaign? Trump wins!” You can watch the “SNL” cold open in the video below.
