SNL cold open with James Austin Johnson as Donald Trump & Colin Jost as Pete Hegseth NBC “Let’s say, if I had a drink for every Venezuelan we’ve killed, I’d really like that number of drinks,” said Donald Trump’s fog of warred Secretary of Defense/War tonight in Saturday Night Live’s unusually high temperature cold open. In a cabinet full of jokes, Pete Hegseth is one of the true zingers – as SNL proved tonight with a sleeping Trump (James Austin Johnson) even waking up to join in the fun. For one thing, along with Johnson’s classic Trump and a Pentagon a rare non-Weekend Update role by Colin Jost is always a treat as the chest beating former Fox host.
