"Saturday Night Live" tackled some of the week's biggest headlines on its version of "Fox and Friends," during Saturday's cold open, including the Will Smith slap at the Academy Awards and Ginni Thomas' text messages urging a top White House official to keep up the fight to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
The show opened with Fox's Brian Kilmeade, played by Mikey Day, telling his co-hosts he downloaded former President Donald Trump's social media app Truth Social.
"I downloaded the app, opened it, and my phone immediately got very, very hot. Like, over 140 degrees," Day's Kilmeade told Ainsley Earhardt, played by Heidi Gardner and Steve Doocy, played by Alex Moffat.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
