“To many people, including many people watching right now, the results were shocking and even horrifying,” Ego Nwodim soberly said.
“Donald Trump, who forcibly tried to overturn the results of the last election, was returned to office,” Heidi Gardner said.
“And now,” Bowen Yang added, “thanks to the Supreme Court, there are no guardrails.”
Then came the swerve from the liberalleaning show.
“That is why we at ‘SNL’ would like to say to Donald Trump, we have been with you all along,” Keenan Thompson said.
Yang chimed in, “We have never wavered in our support for you, even when others doubted you.”
“Every single person on this stage believed in you,” Sarah Sherman said.
Marcello Hernández added, “Every single person on this stage voted for you.”
The cast members went on to effusively declare their reverence for, and obedience to, the former and future president, introducing a new character, “Hot, Jacked Trump.”
Cast member James Austin Johnson, who plays a dead-on Trump and was virtually guaranteed a long-term job by the election, came out as an Adonis-bodied president-elect.
“From now on we’re going to do a very flattering portrayal of Trump, because frankly he’s my hero,” Johnson said in his Trump voice but speaking as himself. “He’s going to make an incredible president and eventually king.”
