SNL Opens Season 52 With Mamdani Hanging Out With BFF Trump

SNL opened its 52nd season with a cold open in which Ramy Youssef played New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and James Austin Johnson played Donald Trump, who declared he 'really, really likes' Mamdani and compared their bond to a tiger befriending a baby goat. The two discussed the East Coast storm, the Knicks' title, the UN meeting, and Trump's dinners with Xi Jinping, Sam Altman, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. Ashley Padilla appeared as Trump aide Natalie Harp, threatening Mamdani before the sketch ended. Jalen Brunson hosted, Katseye performed, and Saidah Belo-Osagie and Grace Reiter debuted as cast members.
