'SNL UK' says Trump wants to 'start World War III,' mocks Prince Andrew

Live from London, it's the first-ever "Saturday Night Live UK"!
The brand-new British spinoff of "Saturday Night Live" aired its very first episode on March 21, and a comedian who is "SNL" royalty helped kick the festivities off: Tina Fey served as host for the debut, with Wet Leg performing as the musical guest.
The cold open followed a similar format as most American "SNL" episodes, complete with a heavy focus on President Donald Trump. It depicted Prime Minister Keir Starmer (George Fouracres) in his office nervously getting ready to call Trump and tell him he can't send any more ships to the Strait of Hormuz amid the United States' war with Iran.
"What if Donald shouts at me?" he asked.
A Trump character did not physically appear in the sketch, but his voice was heard on the phone, and a photo of the real Trump could be seen in the background. As soon as Trump answered the phone, Fouracres' Starmer got worried and hung up. "That scary, scary, wonderful president," he said, asking why Trump is so "difficult to talk to." He added he wants to avoid conflict and keep Trump happy, declaring, "I can change him!"
