Saturday Night Live: solid Christmas episode with Matt Damon and Miley Cyrus
Damon was a popular host, there were a few strong sketches and no outright bad ones. Pete Davidson’s appearance seemed to reassure concerned viewers that he is currently safe
The last Saturday Night Live show of 2018 opened with a It’s A Wonderful Trump. After the depressed president (Alec Baldwin) wishes he’d never been elected, his guardian angel Clarence (Keenan Thompson) makes his wish come true.
Trump discovers that the members of his inner circle are much better off in this alternate reality – a divorced Melania (Cecily Strong) is flourishing as an entrepreneur, Kellyanne Conway (Kate McKinnon) got her soul back from the devil and is still on speaking terms with her husband, Michael Cohen (Ben Stiller) is free from prison and free of worries, and Brett Kavanaugh (Matt Damon) is able to drink beer in peace and hang out with his boys PJ, Squee, Needle-Dick Nick, and No-Means-Yes Nate. Even his enemies are happier – Robert Mueller (Robert De Niro) is able to spend more time with his grandson now that he no longer has to “investigate some idiot for treason”.
