‘SNL’ Host Martin Short Jokes That He and Lorne Michaels Are ‘Kind of Like Trump and Elon Musk Without the Sexual Tension’


“Saturday Night Live” host Martin Short joked about Donald Trump and Elon Musk in his monologue before singing about anxiety meds and making out with Jimmy Fallon.

Martin Short kicked off his monologue for his fifth time hosting “ Saturday Night Live ” by joking that he had to get through it quickly, because “I have 10 sketches to get to where I play an elf.” He thanked “SNL” creator and executive producer Lorne Michaels for inviting him to host on the show’s 50th season, noting that they’re “very close friends.” So Short took the standard tour through the hallways of Studio 8H, singing to the tune of Johnny Mathis’ “We Need a Little Christmas,” with the lyrics changed to all the medications people require to get through the season.
