‘SNL’ recreates Taylor Swift, Kanye West's viral speech drama in cold open

Saturday Night Live is back to mocking the President of the United States, Donald Trump, but this time they have conjured up the innovative ‘Trump Awards.’

The ceremony is introduced by James Austin Johnson, who regularly plays the businessman, as he reveals that he wanted more awards and to distract the masses from what ICE has been up to in the country.

In a category titled ‘Best Kiss,’ presented by Aunt Gladys from the movie Weapons and Trump’s Immigration advisor Stephen Miller and the nominees are primarily from ‘Trump’s a**.’

The potential winners were Vice President J.D. Vance ( played by Jeremy Culhane), Kristi Noem (played by Ashley Padilla), Kash Patel and Trump himself for kissing ‘Putin’s a**.”

Noem ended up winning and took the stage to begin her speech by saying “Well I am honoured and in no way dead inside to win a Trump, I feel like I should dedicate this award to President Trump.”

Johnson’s Trump then interrupts, “And I accept, thank you sweetie. Imma let you finish but Trump had one of the best videos of all time, of all time, Kanye you can go.”

The moment was a direct callback to the historic 2009 MTV VMA’s incident in which Ye interrupted Taylor Swift’s speech by giving a shout-out to Beyoncé, who he thought was more deserving of the award.
