This past weekend Donald Trump finally got his shot on
Saturday Night Live. The episode was much anticipated, but ultimately left many
filled with disappointment. There were several funny parts, but on the whole
Donalds appearance was not what many hoped for. The night started with protestors
outside the studio boycotting SNL for letting Donald make an appearance. The
show continued with Donalds introduction speech, while he is talking we heard
this shout from the audience stating this, “you’re a racist.” Donald proceeded to call out the culprit. The
man behind the comment was famous Bernie Sanders impersonator, Larry David.
David told Donald he was paid 5,000 dollars to shout the comment, Donald brushed
it off and continued.
The night continued with guest music appearances from the
band Cia, and several other skits. The one skit that had the best social media
footprint was the remix to rapper Drakes Hotline Bling video. Leading up to
this episode the video has been re-made by many creative people, inserting everything
from emojis to animated clips. SNL took full advantage of this hot topic and
had several actors dancing, and signing in a comical way to in a sense give the
video a remake from SNL. The audience loved this, and showed their love by
sharing the video.
When everything was all said and done, the
ratings were not
in favor of Donald Trump as opposed to the previous candidates who have
appeared on the show. However Donald is still doing fairly well in the
political ratings sitting at number 2 in the political polls. I am curious to
see how he does going forward.
Sam,
ReplyDeleteThis is too funny. I however don't like that Trump is trying to use his "fame" to get to the presidency. I very much enjoyed the video though.
