This week “Saturday Night Live” kicked off by taking shots at Donald Trump’s wild menagerie of cabinet choices, bringing back longtime SNL guest and host Alec Baldwin as a gravelly-voiced RFK Jr.
The cold open started with Donald Trump, portrayed by cast member James Austin Johnson, sitting down with Dana Carvey’s President Joe Biden as they exchanged pleasantries in the White House.
That, in turn, led Trump to boast, “I am very vastly picking the most epic cabinet of all time. They are some of the most dynamic, free-thinking, animal killing, sexually criminal, medically crazy people in the country.”

He then added, “We’ve got Elon and Gaetz. That’s an alien vs. predator.”
A disturbing Rep. Matt Gaetz, played by Sarah Sherman, made an appearance, telling Trump and Biden, “I’m going to do a great job. If anyone tries to break the law, I’ll tell them what I told my eyebrows — freeze!” adding, “Of course I had to resign from Congress because the confirmation process comes at the busiest time of the year for me: girls volleyball season.”
Baldwin, who earlier this SNL season portrayed Brett Baier of Fox News , entered and announced, “Americans need to someone to teach them how to be healthy, someone like me: a 70-year-old man with movie star looks and a worm in his brain.”
Referencing reports that RFK Jr. left a dead bear cub carcass in Central Park and once took a chainsaw to a dead whale, Baldwin stated, “I just wish people would take my appointment more seriously. Alright, I gotta go. I got a dead dolphin in my car. I think I might saw it in half and dump it in Central Park.”
