‘SNL’: Woody Harrelson hosts seemingly taking jab at COVID; Cold open spoofs Trump’s ohio visit

Woody Harrelson took aim at COVID vaccine mandates during his return to "Saturday Night Live."

Harrelson, 61, closed out his opening monologue Saturday discussing the "craziest script" he's ever read.

"So the movie goes like this… The biggest drug cartels in the world get together and buy up all the media and all the politicians and force all the people in the world to stay locked in their homes," he said. "And people can only come out if they take the cartel’s drugs and keep taking them over and over."

In the show's cold open, former President Donald Trump's visit to East Palestine, Ohio, following the toxic train derailment.

  3. Google, we know your “Learn More” is service you provide to your benefactors. USA Today, do you receive advertising money, other other monies, from pharmaceutical corporations? Does that influence your coverage?

  4. I don’t know who the SNL actor IS who portrayed Trump in Ohio, but man he NAILED it! A million times better than that lunatic Alec Baldwin.

    Woody Harrelson is awesome! Hahahaha I love how the audience was practically silent after that joke! 🤣💉🐑

  5. Least Trump was there helping the people. Didn’t see your administration get off their asses til HE did something. Observation from New Zealand
