Saturday Night Live has concluded its 50th season and is now on summer break. The final sketch showcased a cold open featuring President Trump's meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, marked by a recycled monologue that failed to impress the audience. Performer James Austin Johnson's portrayal leaned heavily on familiar material, receiving little laughter. The segment raised questions about the show's creative direction and provided evidence that the writers might need some time off to rejuvenate their ideas.
The cold open delivered few surprises, with a five-minute, mostly unoriginal Trump monologue that drew minimal audience reaction, indicating the writers could use a break.
James Austin Johnsonâs portrayal of Trump resorted to repetitive premises, engaging minimally with bin Salman, highlighting the lack of fresh material in their 50th season.
