Things got worse after Trump hypocritically chided Zelenskyy for showing up at the White House “in a T-shirt and jeans like a trash collector,” only to be interrupted by Elon Musk , who was dressed exactly like that. Musk declared himself president and bragged about firing scores of federal employees he oversaw while mumbling, stammering, groping, and constantly glitching. Myers’ performance of Musk is much better than anyone who has played the role before. It’s not just the bad habits and annoying behavior that he displays, but also the sense of self-righteousness and trying his best of a middle school student that Musk displays, as well as the obvious discomfort in his own skin.

Shane Gillis, the comedian and infamous podcast host hired by SNL years ago, only to be fired before the season began when racist and homophobic jokes were discovered, is back as host for the second year in a row. Last time, the announcement of him as host was met with equal parts outrage and excitement, only for him to give a crappy performance in a crappy episode. This time, too, he immediately lost his live audience, which he blamed on their liberalism, although his jokes about Trump wanting to annex Greenland and Biden’s advanced age were virtually indistinguishable from standard SNL political material. His next few installments about white women dating black men and Ken Burns’s Civil War documentary fared no better, with the biggest laughs coming from Gillis himself. A scathing joke about Burns’ documentary making women fall asleep faster than Cosby got a reaction, but that was it. Like in his previous turn on the show, he wasn’t funny enough to surpass the expectations of his critics or brave enough to meet the expectations of his fans. I’m sure both groups will bicker endlessly online no matter what.
