Saturday Night Live is back for season 52, and some traditions are sacred, ie, James Austin Johnson opening the show once again as President Donald Trump.

"We do not condone what we are doing." It’s a bold thing for an AI company CEO to say on television, even when that CEO is actually Jane Wickline in a wig. The second version won.
