'Snl' Finale mocked Trump's Middle East trip, occupation of departure rumors

'Snl' Finale mocked Trump's Middle East trip, occupation of departure rumors

A pioneering season of “Saturday Night Live” is in the books.

The final of the 50th season of “SNL” began with a parody of President Donald Trump's most recent journey to the Middle East. Together with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman (played by Emil Wakim), Trump (James Austin Johnson) said that he had a fantastic week.

“I didn't make this trip for myself, I want to make it clear,” he said. “I did this for the American people. And in many ways my personal enrichment. I did that too. I did very well on this trip. I have a lot of cool things.”

Johnson's Trump denied that a luxury jet that was offered to him by Katar's royal family is a bribe “because they asked nothing for it”, although Bin Salman quickly injected: “Well, not yet”. Johnson's Trump admitted: “In order, so it's a pre -bish.”

He also noticed “I don't think I saw a single woman on his Middle East trip.” The women all hide. It's like a nation of Melanias. “

But the end of the cold open became seriously meta, with Johnson's Trump said that he couldn't “stay in this sketch for much longer” before going to the audience to talk to the camera about the “SNL” final.

“After tonight you won't see me here for a while,” he said. “Well, not the wrong, funny version of me that makes you smile. The real one will still be omnipresent. You can't escape me, right?”

He concluded: “We'll see each other again in autumn when we still have a country, right? It is a coin talent.”

Who leaves 'Snl'? Scarlett Johansson monologue jokes about speculation of the occupation

Rumors about the final, which actors may not return for the 51st season.

That was still not confirmed, but host Scarlett Johansson's monologue had fun with the rumors and speculations. The star “Jurassic World Rebirth” put out the line -up to join a parody of Billy Joels “Piano Man”, with the texts around the “SNL” final being rewritten.

“It was time forever, we did it together and we have to spend it with you,” sang Johansson and the line -up.

“It was a great season, and Sarah goes,” sang Johansson and referred to Sarah Sherman before the rest of the line -up along: “We will all miss you all next year.”

But Sherman, who is not known that she is leaving the show, played jokingly, and asked: “Wait, what? Did you hear something? What do you mean, go?”

Colin Jost brings Scarlett Johansson Flowers as 'Snl' season 50 wraps

Some fans had left the show after the final of the 50th season or maybe received an action that would take it from “Weekend Update”.

During the episode, nothing was confirmed that ended with a sweet moment between Johansson and Jost, who are married and have a little son together. When Johansson said good night at the end of the show, Jost went out and gave her flowers before the two shared a kiss.
