President Donald Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth were riotously roasted in Saturday Night Live’s cold open, which excoriated them for their roles in the overnight attack on Iran by U. S.

Saturday Night Live opened with Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson), who touted himself as peacemaker, now addressing the country exulting in war with Iran. With the U.S. and Israel launching strikes on the Iranian regime early on Saturday, killing the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, the show scrambled plans for the cold open.

Tonight's SNL Cold Open saw Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson) and Pete Hegseth (Colin Jost) trying to make the case for the war in Iran.

Jack and Quinn Hughes from the men's team and Megan Keller and Hilary Knight from the women's team made a surprise 'Saturday Night Live' appearance.

For the episode's cold open, James Austin Johnson and Colin Jost returned as President Donald Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. In the sketch, President Trump (Johnson) was updating the American people following the early Saturday morning strikes on Iran.

Knight, as well as teammate Megan Keller, have now mocked Trump during an appearance on Saturday Night Live. During his opening monologue, host Connor Storrie surprised the audience by bringing US men's hockey stars Quinn and Jack Hughes. The crowd then went crazy as Knight and Keller joined them on stage.

The remark was a clear reference to a controversy that arose when the men received a congratulatory call from President Trump.
