In the first 'Saturday Night Live' (SNL) episode of 2024, the cold open featured James Austin Johnson as a 'more cognitive than ever' Donald Trump, humorously discussing his potential future, which includes going to jail, becoming president again, or facing a situation akin to 'The Purge.' The episode, which aired just days before the New Hampshire primary, saw Trump roasting his own lawyers, described as 'bottom of the barrel,' and recapping his 'very bad week' with his presidential campaign and court cases. SNL continued its tradition of lampooning Donald Trump, with the Weekend Update segment calling a potential Joe Biden vs. Donald Trump election run 'Elder Abuse' and likening it to 'Bumfights.'
