Saturday Night Live kicked off the fifth episode of its latest season with a targeted jab at President Donald Trump’s odd behavior during a recent Oval Office press appearance, letting cast member James Austin Johnson run wild with his eerily accurate Trump impression.
As the head of pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly (Mikey Day) begins to unveil how the administration is going to address the squeeze — flanked by “medical experts” RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz — right as new cast member and Dropout regular Jeremey Culhane dramatically dips to the ground.
