The sketch comedy series returned to its fake Fox News set for a round-up of the week's news with Laura Ingraham.
Fox News is so hard to parody because it already plays it loose with the truth. Even the more ridiculous items like "using the word'mayonnnaise'" and "missionary" don't seem like a leap from what you would see on the actual show.
James Austin Johnson is the show's secret weapon, and any cold open plunge into Republican nonsense is set up for him. His Donald Trump impression is the best to have ever graced the SNL stage. Since joining the cast, Johnson has been showing up as Trump to deliver rants that tie directly to a set of words on the screen.
It was the same thing, except for one key difference: Instead of the usual list of talking points, Johnson's Trump rant slowly filled out guesses in a Wordle grid, eventually revealing an actual puzzle answer. The speaker will probably let you guess what it is.
