Indeed, that was the case on Saturday Night Live’s cold open tonight.
Coming off a week that saw shots fired at the now shuttered 2026 White House Correspondents’ Dinner, more attacks by the Trumps by Jimmy Kimmel and ABC’s licenses now up for early renewal, and the debut of The Devil Wears Prada 2, Saturday Night Live had a lot to draw on tonight for its first cold open since April 11. There was also a USA 250 visit by a certain British King to a nation where some are starting to wonder if 1776 should have gone another way.
Instead they nailed it with the triple threat of Padilla, Jost and (please come back soon) guest Ansari.
Matt Damon and Noah Kahan will front and sing out the penultimate show of Season 51 next week. On May 16, SNL legend Will Ferrell and that up-and-comer Paul McCartney bring the latest run of the Lorne Michaels-created show to an end for one more year.
