Saturday Night Live showed the way when it started its Jan. 25 episode with a Hamilton reprise alongside “King” Donald Trump.
The Wrap reports the cold open began with a trip back in time to the signing of the Declaration of Independence, which segued into a cameo appearance from Lin-Manuel Miranda as Alexander Hamilton.
The Hamilton creator’s triumphant reprisal of his Broadway role was quickly interrupted, however, by SNL cast member James Austin Johnson’s return as President Trump.

Elsewhere Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his controversial salute towards Donald Trump on inauguration day drew attention.
Weekend Update host Michael Che mocked Musk for the salutation, once again drawing comparisons to the Nazis and Musk’s own Tesla brand.
“Elon Musk was criticised for his speech at a rally after the inauguration in which he appears to give the Nazi salute. But come on, Elon Musk is not a Nazi,” Che said.
“The Nazis made nice cars,” Che averred, referencing the origins of Volkswagen by Adolf Hitler which he called ‘The People’s Car Company’ in May 1937.
