‘Saturday Night Live’ Jabs at Trump, Michael Flynn and Matt Lauer
This time, the sketch was a parody of “A Christmas Carol.” Mikey Day appeared in chains as Mr. Flynn
and identified himself as the “Ghost of Witness Flipped,” and he warned Mr. Trump to come clean “for the good of the country.”
“Before all this, I had a great life, Donald,” Mr. Day said.
After summarizing Mr. Flynn’s guilty plea, he mocked Fox News’s coverage: “Or as Fox News reported it, did Hillary Clinton secretly join ISIS?”
On the tax bill, Mr. Jost said, “Wow, I knew Trump was going to run the country like a business.
“Frankly, I’m looking pretty good in the NBC News division right about now,” Mr. Moffat said, in the night’s first reference to Mr. Lauer.
It was the show’s first episode since the firing of the NBC morning television host Matt Lauer,
and it aired one day after President Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, pleaded guilty to lying to the F. B.I.
The bad news is he might not be president long enough to sign it,” Mr. Jost said.
“You, Donald, have given me the greatest gift of all: sexual gratification in the form of your slow demise,” Ms. McKinnon said.
