For this season of “Saturday Night Live,” James Austin Johnson has dominated the cold open segments, more often than not kicking off the show with a dose of his President Donald Trump impression.
The first SNL episode of 2026, hosted by “Stranger Things” star Finn Wolfhard, saw Johnson’s Trump cede a bit of the spotlight to his Cabinet in a recap of all of the “legal-ish things,” as Johnson put it, that Trump did during the winter break. In introducing various high-ranking officials, Johnson called them “little freaks, various monsters and nightmares from the mind of Guillermo Del Trump.”
