James Austin Johnson

The sun is out — and so are the "freaks, crazies, and weirdos" of Central Park in this Season 48 cold open.

From Melissa McCarthy's Sean Spicer as the Easter Bunny to Michael Keaton's wonderfully weird entry, the show's long found ways to put a new spin on the holiday.

"Hi it's me, Donald 'Jesus' Trump," James Austin Johnson told the April 12 audience as his castmates did their best to stay frozen behind him.

It was great to see Alex Moffat and Beck Bennett back as Eric Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in the April 12 pretaped sketch.

Like "Washington's Dream," this sketch written by Mikey Day, Streeter Seidell, and Chloe Fineman is a basic concept that's perfectly executed.

The former cast member introduced his ailing car company's new invention during a speech from President Trump (James Austin Johnson).

The SNL alum helped recreate the real March 6 meeting between the president, Cabinet members, and the tech billionaire.

The master impersonator is creating the content we crave: A rundown of all the treats he ate at Late Night.

Cast member James Austin Johnson expertly tried to get the Broadway star to break as he stood frozen onstage.

The comedian's fourth time as Host kicked off with the longest monologue in the show's 50-year history. Watch it now.

"60 employees, seven interns. All going hard in the same space they were working in 15 minutes ago," the parody commercial oh-so-accurately puts it.

It wan't the first time the Irish actor has flexed his vocal chops onscreen — and he (literally) slayed the pretaped sketch.

Dana Carvey was back as Joe Biden while Sarah Sherman impersonated Matt Gaetz in the second post-election cold open.

The "360" singer slayed her first time as Host in the 2024 Thanksgiving episode.

The actor and stand-up comedian's episode included an ode to "Bald Guys" and a Buffalo Wild Wings commercial.

The comedian's sixth time hosting SNL included a hilarious stand-up set and cameos from Pete Davidson, Senator Tim Kaine, and Kamala Harris herself.

It was like looking in a mirror in the opening to the last Saturday Night Live episode before the presidential election. 

The Beetlejuice Beetlejuice actor was joined by Mikey Day and Andy Samberg dressed in striped suits and green wigs.

James Austin Johnson and Sarah Sherman stopped by the desk as brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher on October 12.
