The Season 51 premiere of Saturday Night Live ripped into the Trump administration’s recent crackdown on free speech in the late-night TV industry.
Concerns about Trump interfering with late-night TV ramped up in September after the temporary suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, a decision made by ABC after an apparent threat from Trump-appointed FCC chairman Brendan Carr.
“[Saturday Night Live] better be on their best behavior," said James Austin Johnson’s Donald Trump in the cold open. “Otherwise they’ll have to answer to my attack dog at the FCC, Brandon Carr.”
