Watch Ramy Youssef call for peace in Palestine during his opening monologue on SNL and the cringy Trump-themed resurrection sketch for Easter.
The Big Picture It's been a few weeks since we've had a new Saturday Night Live to enjoy and this week's was a pretty great one! Ramy Youssef hosted this week with musical guest Travis Scott, and it started off on a great note! For the first time in a long while, the cold open and opening monologue set the right tone for the episode as a whole, and struck the perfect balance of comedy and commentary.
Trump's Cold Open Resurrection James Austin Johnson got to just show us all how funny his impression of former president Donald Trump can be. Starting with the virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene finding Jesus' empty tomb and making the joke about how they need to figure out a name other than Mary, we see "Jesus" come out of the tomb to celebrate Easter! The Jesus in question though, is Johnson as Donald Trump where he proceeds to make fun of Trump and Trump's view of himself.
Ramy Youssef Flexes His Stand-Up Chops in Opening Monologue Youssef is a stand-up comedian as well as an actor so they gave him the comedian treatment by letting him do a stand-up set as his monologue. What worked was Youssef proudly shared his heritage in his monologue, talking about celebrating Ramadan, and his hopes for the future of our country. He also made sure to use his monologue to call for a ceasefire and free Palestine.
