Saturday Night Live kicked off its 50th season with a cold open that gently poked fun at Kamala Harris' and Donald Trump's 2024 election campaigns. The skit reenacted Trump's recent comments about Haitian immigrants eating cats and dogs. Maya Rudolph returned as Kamala Harris, portraying her as the 'fun aunt' and making jokes about swing states and women's rights. James Austin Johnson played Donald Trump, who made jabs about Biden and Harris. The skit also featured Dana Carvey as President Joe Biden, who became increasingly confused while speaking.
