All summer, I've thought that Lorne Michaels and Darrell Hammond would be just
itching to get back on the air, so that they could skewer Donald Trump. I was half right. Hammond--who returned to replace the late Don Pardo as announcer last year--didn't get to play Trump, one of his signature impressions. But current
SNL male lead, Taran Killam--bizarrely named, but very talented--had clearly been spending his summer perfecting his Trump impersonation, because it is spot on. Cecily Strong also continued to prove that being moved out of
Weekend Update and back into prominence in sketches was the right move. She's terrific too, as Trump's most recent immigrant wife.
