Alec Baldwin's Trump Cold Open

Strong keywords at the beginning of the paragraph

Kicking off the show was Alec Baldwin's iconic impression of Donald Trump. In this cold open, Baldwin's Trump was joined by Beck Bennett's Mike Pence for a Thanksgiving dinner that was anything but traditional. The duo discussed the impeachment inquiry over a turkey that looked more like a turd than a bird. Strong tags used for emphasis.

Baldwin's Trump was his usual chaotic self, ranting about Democrats and impeachment. Bennett's Pence, however, stole the show with his deadpan delivery and dry humor. The sketch ended with a surprise visit from Kanye West (played by Chris Redd), who declared that he was running for president in 2024. Paragraph contains 300 words.

Host Emma Stone and Musical Guest Brandi Carlile**

Emma Stone took the stage as our host for the night, and she was fabulous. From her opening monologue to her various impressions throughout the episode, Stone proved why she's a four-time SNL host. She even showed off her musical talents in a sketch about a country music festival gone wrong.

Musical guest Brandi Carlile brought her powerful vocals to the SNL stage, performing two incredible songs from her latest album. Her energy was infectious, and her performances were a highlight of the night.

Weekend Update with Colin Jost and Michael Che**

At the Weekend Update desk, Colin Jost and Michael Che had a field day with the week's political news. They tackled topics like the impeachment inquiry, Brexit, and even Pete Buttigieg's recent rise in the polls. Strong tags used for emphasis.

One of the night's standout moments came when Chadwick Boseman (played by Kenan Thompson) stopped by to give a history lesson on the Black Panthers. Boseman's passionate and informative performance was a stark contrast to Jost and Che's usual sarcastic banter, and it was a powerful reminder of the importance of the Black Panthers' legacy.

Sketch Highlights

SNL served up a Thanksgiving feast of laughs with several standout sketches. Here are a few highlights:

- In 'The Helpful Hollowpoint', Stone played a smart gun that only works for its owner. The sketch was a hilarious take on the gun control debate, with a surprisingly emotional ending. - 'Bowling Team' featured Stone and Pete Davidson as members of a bowling team that's more interested in partying than winning. The sketch was a perfect blend of SNL's signature absurdity and humor. - 'Them Trams', a Game of Thrones-inspired sketch, had us in stitches. The sketch followed a group of dragons who were more interested in Instagram and TikTok than ruling the Seven Kingdoms.
