Alec Baldwin's President Trump opened this week's Saturday Night Live by reflecting on his first 100 days in office to Vice President Mike Pence (Beck Bennett).
So Trump called both Bannon and Kushner into the Oval Office to sort things out.
"Everybody shut up so I can apologize", McCarthy said, mocking Spicer's apology for multiple blunders while comparing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to Adolf Hitler.
"Of course, sir. Nominated Neil Gorsuch", Pence responds. This included the "biggest, fattest bomb you've ever seen" on the Islamic State group.
"Jared, Steve, standing before me are my two top advisors", Baldwin-as-Trump said.
Joking the victor would go on to advise the president and secure a $100,000 prize courtesy of L'Oreal, Baldwin went on to say: 'If you do not see your photo, you must immediately leave the Oval Office and join Kellyanne Conway in the basement. "Steve, you may be smart, but I once walked in on you eating a live pig in the Roosevelt Room", Baldwin says as Trump while picking between the two. "This could all be over by Monday".
McMaster: Trump orders 'full range of options' on N. Korea
Trump said he and Xi "held in-depth discussions on the seriousness of North Korea's nuclear problem and how to respond to it". China continues to call for negotiations, which the Trump administration has rejected unless its demands are met.
Trump, basking in the glow of his meager accomplishments (and gaffes), is reminded almost all of them took place not in the Oval Office but in Mar-a-Lago.
Fallon's wordlessly cheery Kushner is a stark contrast to the Grim Reaper version of Bannon, especially when it comes to Kushner's photogenic nature, so Bannon is ultimately "fired" and escorted back to Hell, a.k.a. the basement, where he'll join Kellyanne Conway. However, he added: "You get to come back at the end of all this and help send me to prison". The victor of the two (one of whom was pictured in the photo Trump was holding) would stay on staff. Trump picked Kushner, and then, an even taller Grim Reaper came to take Bannon "back to hell". The outfit is a nod to a viral photo of Kushner wearing a similar outfit during a trip to a military base in Iraq.
The first few minutes of the cold open were a build up for what was next: Elimination night, "The Apprentice" style.
Baldwin-as-Trump tells Kushner, "You're such an inspiration".
He continued, "Jared, you take the most handsome photos". You showed everybody that if you were born rich and married my daughter, you can have anything you want'. You will get to keep advising me.
Hope Hicks, a White House spokesperson, confirmed in March that such meetings took place and said nothing important was discussed. I clearly meant to say concentration clubs, OK?
