Decades Of Political Satire & POTUS Mocking Noticeably Absent From Anniversary Special
https://deadline.com/2025/02/snl50-trump-absence-kamala-harris-politics-potus-1236292484/
Tonight’s live show had Alec Baldwin, Will Ferrell, Jay Pharoah, Tina Fey, Jason Sudeikis, Maya Rudolph and Amy Poehler in attendance but there was nothing of the presidents and presidential candidates they’ve played and poked fun at over the decades.
No Fey as Sarah Palin, and no Poehler as Hillary Clinton. No Dana Carvey as George H.W. Bush and no Ferrell as George W. Bush, and no Pharoah as Barack Obama. No Sudeikis, nor James Austin Johnson nor Carvey nor Jim Carrey, as Joe Biden. No Rudolph in her Emmy-winning Kamala Harris role, which got SNL and NBC in some equal-time trouble last fall. And, on a show that the 45th and 47th POTUS watches, as Dave Chappelle recently pointed out, nobody as Trump.
Even if SNL wanted to avoid a presidential swipe from Trump, they doubled down on his omission in primetime tonight. The show deliberately left Trump out of a montage of past hosts, as well as an obvious inclusion in an overview of questionable poorly aging skits and segments from the past. The latter even included OJ Simpson, Robert Blake and Sean “Diddy” Combs, but no Trump.
I think they stay clear of Politics for the most part during the Anniversary Special because they have compiled other "Political" specials in the past.
Yes the Trump omission from past hosts was a pathetic representation of their far-left stance.
