‘SNL’ Cold Open Features Sarah Sherman as Rachel Maddow on the LA Wildfires, the TikTok Ban and Trump
In the first 'SNL' episode of 2025, the Cold Open starred Sarah Sherman as Rachel Maddow chatting Trump, TikTok and LA's WildFires
In the sketch, Maddow hosted an MSNBC panel, which included Marcello Hernandez as Ari Melber, Ego Nwodim as Joy Reed, Heidi Gardner as Stephanie Ruhle and Andrew Dismukes as Chris Hayes. I am Rachel Meadow and Dads, you better hide your older bookish lesbian daughters because yeah, I’m back on TV tonight for our special inauguration weekend coverage,” Sherman says. She went on to add, “Sorry, Ari, we’re getting breaking news that Trump just told a group of wildfire victims that quote, ‘Arnold Palmer had some of the longest balls in American history.’ You see, this is what he does to keep us from talking about disaster relief or the impacts of climate change.”
