Saturday Night Live returned to politics during their Cold Open segment this weekend, taking shots at the Republican House speaker chaos, whackaloons George Santos and Lauren Boebert, along with Trump and endless upcoming court appearances.

The cold open saw Mikey Day’s Rep. Jim Jordan distraught after his bid for House Speaker failed for a third time. [...]

“How did I lose? This is chaos,” Day’s Jordan says. “Some of us are here to actually serve the American people. All I want to do is get Congress back to work so I can shut it down again.”

Bowen Yang’s Rep. George Santos, who has been at the center of controversy amid criminal charges and allegations that he’d fabricated parts of his résumé, proceeds to come in to try and “cheer” up Day’s Jordan. [...]

Day’s Jordan next answers a phone call from Chloe Fineman’s Rep. Lauren Boebert. “Look, things are going exactly as planned,” she says. “Just keep running for speaker and even if you don’t win, great, the government shuts down and we blow this whole thing up.” [...]

Lastly, James Austin Johnson’s former President Donald Trump arrives. Day’s Jordan says to him, “I’m so glad you’re here. You endorsed me and then you just kind of disappeared.”

“Yeah. Well, that’s because I prefer the Jordans who win,” Johnson’s Trump says. “The great Michael Jordan or the even greater Jordan Sparks.”
