Saturday night Live made fun of President Donald Trump and the New York City mayoral candidate in his latest cold open sketch.
Late-night comedy show mimics recent mayoral debate between candidates Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa on Saturday evenings. But another politician immediately sabotaged the event: Trump, played by James Austin Johnson.
“It’s me! They can pretend this election is about housing and taxes, but we all know it’s about me, okay? Because I’m going to be very involved in this, very hands-on,” Trump declared of Johnson during the debate.
The fictional Trump mentioned each candidate by name, but began mumbling when he reached Mamdani. Earlier, Mamdani’s character, played by Rami Youssef, had joked that his opponent would “pronounce my name in a way you can’t even imagine.”

The fictional Trump also quipped that his “bagel order is a Big Mac with a hole in the middle,” referencing The President’s love for McDonald’s is proven.
Trump’s character mocked the president’s recent MRI scan. This comes after Trump revealed that he has undergone an MRI. The results on Monday were “excellent”. The reason for the scan is still unclear.
“I did so well on the cognitive test that they immediately gave me an MRI,” the fictional Trump said.
The character also said that he would add Mayor of New York City to his “list of duties”.
“I may no longer live in New York, but I am always lurking in the shadows, like the late, great Phantom of the Opera – in relation to being burned by the chandelier, what happened to him in operatic terms was terrible,” thought the character. “Maybe I’ll add New York mayor to my list of duties.”
New Yorkers will elect a new mayor on Tuesday, although many have already voted. The latest polls show that Democratic candidate Mamdani still maintains a good lead over his rivals. the new York Times reports,
Trump has commented on Mamdani throughout the mayoral campaign, often labeling him a “communist” (Mamdani says he is a democratic socialist). In September, the President threatened If Mamdani wins, federal funds will be withheld from New York City. During this time, Mamdani has promised to work with the president if elected.
