Tariffs were the topic of the cold open on this week's episode of Saturday Night Live as the comedy sketch show once again tackled politics. James Austin Johnson brought out his President Trump impression for the parody speech. The Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick (Mikey Day), made an appearance this week, bringing out comically large posters of a Cheesecake Factory Menu, the tariff rates and eventually the equation the administration used for calculations.
"This is for the luncheon after, Howard. I'm getting Bang Bang Tacos," Johnson said before receiving the correct signage. Eventually, Elon Musk (Mike Myers) joined Trump on stage with a cheesehead hat to talk the Wisconsin election and Tesla cars.
Then, there was a not-so-subtle joke about Morgan Wallen's "Get me to God's Country" after he left last week's SNL quickly . Check out the full sketch here: Jack Black hosted the episode , with Elton John and Brandi Carlisle as musical guests. This article originally appeared on For The Win: SNL cold open had Morgan Wallen joke with Donald Trump tariffs.
