Larry David Returns To SNL To Call Donald Trump Racist
“It’s wonderful to be here”.
In his monologue, Mr Trump promised his appearance would be “something special”, while noting that many people had asked him why he accepted the gig. He played the President of the United States in the year 2018, accepting a check from the Mexican President for a wall that was built between the two countries.
During Weekend Update, Michael Che said: “This week Donald Trump released his new book, ‘A Crippled America: How to Make America Great Again.’ Whenever a rich old white guy starts bringing up the good old days, my Negro senses start tingling”.
Dozens marched from Trump Tower to Rockefeller Center in Manhattan, where Saturday Night Live tapes.
As the guest host turned to the side of the stage, comedian and “Seinfeld” creator Larry David stood there, arms folded with a sly smile, and repeated the exclamation: “Trump’s a racist!”
“Trump’s a racist!” David shouted at the tail end of Trump’s monologue. The second is that the writers and cast, presumably all Democrats, didn’t snark on Trump as they have on other Republicans, from Gerald Ford to Sarah Palin.
Yesterday, it was revealed that Trump had vetoed several sketches offered to him, worrying that they were too risqué, and would damage his political cachet and harm his current lead in the Iowa polls. “Including me, in 2004”. Whether or not Trump goes rouge on SNL is going to be one of the main appeals to tonight’s episode, as it’s train wreck potential is more than enough to sell us all on watching.
Saturday Night Live is going to be missing out on that coveted John Leguizamo demo. “Why?’ And the answer is, I have really nothing better to do”, he continued.
Trump got plenty of laughs from a sympathetic audience, but that was not enough to satisfy Maureen Ryan, a TV critic with respected show-business daily Variety.
Larry David returned to Saturday Night Live as Bernie Sanders this weekend as presidential candidate Donald Trump took up hosting duties. His idea for a Trump skit was maybe the most out there.
The “racist” sketch with David was one of the few that worked, said Ryan. Hillary Rodham Clinton appeared in last month’s season premiere, but not as the host.
