Hannibal Lecter Rolled Out As Potential Trump VP Choice In Short & Sharp ‘SNL’ Season-Finale Cold Open


The last show of the 49th season of the Not Ready for Primetime Players went out with a Trump bang & a bite

Set to pick up with the defense’s case on May 20, Trump’s hush money trial is never short of providing laughs as much as it is tears, However, while the courthouse was the backdrop, the focus of the beginning of tonight’s show was a potential Vice President. “And finally, my last and favorite choice is a man I can’t stop talking about in my rallies, It’s the late great Hannibal Lector,” Johnson’s near pitch perfect Trump announced as a very wide eyed SNL featured player Michael Longfellow was wheeled in as the Silence of the Lambs killer played to Oscar winning glory by Anthony Hopkins. With the testimony of former Trump fixer Michael Cohen in the ex-president’s ongoing hush money trial, the announcement of double debates between the former Celebrity Apprentice host and incumbent Biden, and the Congressional committee dust-up between always mockery giving Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), the long running NBC late night show once again certainly wasn’t lacking for material for the cold open.
