Not Live from New York

This is the opening sketch from this past Saturday's Saturday Night Live.  It's pretty funny, both the segment on the Thomases (as  you see below) and then when Trump comes in.


This actor playing Trump is James Austin Johnson, who was new to the cast last season -- and his Trump is spectacular.  Part of it is that he has the voice down very well, but I think a large part, too, is that what he says is so spot on, with random digressions about pointless topics.  I suspect that he does the writing or at least participates with it because the show has largely the same writing staff as past years, but the take on Trump after Johnson joined is totally different from before.
