returned for its 45th season in the most predictable of ways: with a cold open about the Ukraine scandal and the president’s potential impeachment that is basically just a series of impressions of Trump enablers and hangers-on. You’ve got Kate McKinnon as an increasingly deranged Rudy Giuliani, Cecily Strong as a bellowing Jeanine Pirro, Alex Moffat and Mikey Day as Eric andJr.
