Saturday Night Live: Quinta Brunson is a reliable host for decent episode

The first of the final three episodes of Saturday Night Live’s historic 50th season kick off inside the Oval Office, where Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson) celebrates the first 100 days of his second term. In that short time that feels like a much longer, he’s single-handedly managed to help people win elections (“Mostly in Canada”) and signed 147 executive orders.

To that end, he brings out White House deputy chief of staff and “lord of the shadows” Stephen Miller (Mikey Day) who hands him a number of new orders to sign, including ones that bring back Columbus Day, reduce the number of interracial couples in TV commercials, make it socially acceptable for a man in his ’70s to date a 24 year old (“We’re calling it the Belichick law”), and a pardon for JK Rowling.
