Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : Gonna cover this up for the rest of my life'. SNL also poked fun at their fellow comedians who decided to participate in the Saudi-backed Riyadh Comedy Festival.
53% : 'I'm just here keeping my eye on SNL, making sure they don't do anything too mean about me, and they better be careful, because I know late-night TV like the back of my hand,' Johnson said.
43% : Bad Bunny hosted the season premiere following news that he would headline the Super Bowl Halftime Performance, which prompted threats from Immigration and Customs Enforcement that officers would be in attendance.
40% : The imposter Trump then issued a warning to the late-night TV realm: 'Remember: Daddy's watching!' Johnson also snuck in a joke about the mysterious bruise that was seen on the president's hand in August.
39% : The White House has repeatedly denied claims that Trump wrote the letter or had a friendship with Epstein.
38% : Saturday Night Live kicked off its 51st season with a fiery cold open taking aim Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump.
36% : Jost's tirade inspired by Hegseth was brief, as SNL quickly shifted focus to mock Trump, with James Austin Johnson making a grand entrance as the president in an uncanny impersonation.
35% : Che referenced recent news about peace discussions between Israel and Hamas, joking that you could 'tell Trump wrote the plan himself,' before cutting to a photo of a poem allegedly written to disgraced pedophile Jeffrey Epstein with Trump's signature.
31% : As Trump, Johnson pretended to roast the show, ribbing SNL for it's ratings and resorting to having Jost open the show.
25% : Johnson, as Trump, referenced the controversy with a warning that SNL 'better be on their best behavior, otherwise they'll have to answer to my attack dog at the FCC, Brandon Carr'.
