Summary
"When President Trump made SNL's Mother’s Day message unforgettable. The show began as usual, but during its opening segment, Trump interrupted to mock a new pope from Chicago and jibe about American trade troubles. His dig at Pope Leo XIV, poking fun at his recent death after meeting Vice President J.D. Vance, left the audience chuckling. Meanwhile, cast members like Cecily Strong reimagined Jeanine Pirro for a bit of laughs, and Colin Jost’s portrayal of former Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth added to the hilarity. The segment was a wild ride through politics, pop culture, and Trump’s personality."
