Ahead of Easter Sunday, Saturday Night Live kicks off with a re-enactment of Jesus’s resurrection, which is quickly interrupted by former president Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson). He’s come to hawk his new Bible, which “can be yours for the high, high price of $60”. His new, improved version “also includes constitution, and pledge of allegiance, and, I don’t know, maybe Miranda rights”. He ends his sales pitch with his version of the Lord’s Prayer: “Our father, who are in Heaven, hallowed beep-beep, bing-bing … trespass, daily bread, and please lead us into temptation, and pay our automobiles. In the name of the father, the son, and the Easter bunny, amen.”
