The recent cold open of Saturday Night Live featured a comedic take on President Donald Trump and his habit of critiquing the appearances of men. The sketch humorously addressed an imaginary scenario involving Trump complimenting Tom Hanks, who was portraying David S. Pumpkins.
Set against the backdrop of the upcoming 2026 midterm elections, the show also satirically remarked on rapper Nicki Minaj’s involvement in Trump’s campaign. The skit suggested that Minaj’s decision to support the president on his campaign trail could have potentially damaged her music career.
This segment is one of many ways SNL creatively engages with political events, often delivering content with sharp comedic commentary. Musical guest Gracie Abrams and host Inde Navarrette participated in this episode, which was captured by Rosalind O’Connor of NBC.
