Elon Musk (Mike Myers) interrupts a heated meeting with Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson), JD Vance (Bowen Yang), Marco Rubio (Marcello Hernández) and Ukraine President Zelenskyy (Mikey Day).

1. I wondered how they would handle a cold opening this week.

I didn't think they would touch the oval office ambush, because it was so dismal, and there was nothing funny about it. But they pulled it off perfectly - their writing was genius.

2. I have to agree, the Elon Musk character made it funny - with Mike Myers playing him!

5. Mike Myers is looking great!

Thank you for posting this. I was a little worried they were going to wuss out.

7. I caught it live.

One time they had Dana Carvey play Musk. It was hilarious, but Mike Myers was definitely better.

8. Oh, I agree! Mike Myers was definitely better. Dana Carvey has his own set of characters
