What’s the problem? You wear masks to the Klan rally, wear them to Walmart too!”) and mocks “racist, hilarious son of a bitch” Trump for catching Covid and “running around like the outbreak monkey”. He reminisces about his great-grandfather, once enslaved needles his Ohio neighbors for not wearing masks (“I don’t know why poor white people don’t like wearing masks.

Such self-awareness redeems an otherwise standard lazy cold open, although, to be sure, Baldwin, Carrey and Rudolph signing off by calling Trump a “loooo-ser!” (Ace Ventura-style) is pretty damn cathartic. This is a much-appreciated callback to the post-2016 election episode, in which Kate McKinnon’s Hilary Clinton sang Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah (one of, if not the single-most, cringiest moments in the show’s history). We eventually move over to Donald Trump (Alec Baldwin), who rails against the results, demanding states both “stop the count!” and “count every vote!” He vows to his supporters that he’ll keep fighting, before climbing behind a piano and singing a downbeat version of the Village People’s Macho Man. Between her being the first black, south-east Asian and woman VP, and her husband being the first and only Jewish second gentleman, they “check more boxes than a disqualified ballot”. He only speaks for a minute, before bringing up vice-president-elect Kamala Harris (Maya Rudolph). An exhausted team, including Wolf Blitzer (Beck Bennett) announces – to mass applause – that Biden has won, before cutting to the president-elect (Jim Carrey), who “honestly, kind of can’t” believe it himself. SNL kicks off with CNN’s election coverage.
