Steve Martin opened the 50th Anniversary Special of Saturday Night Live with a comedic monologue positioning himself as the show's newest diversity hire. His jokes touched on recent political issues, including immigration, providing commentary within the context of entertainment. Martin’s longtime friend and comedy partner, Martin Short, made a cameo only to be humorously arrested by mock ICE agents, adding a touch of absurdity to the celebration and serving as a light-hearted critique of current events.
As the audience laughed, Martin continued with a jab at the newly named Gulf of America: 'Now, I can't believe I even made it here in time.'
Martin introduced himself as the show's newest diversity hire, calling on ICE to deport Martin Short back to Canada, showcasing his comedic style.
