SNL mocks Melania Trump’s absence from campaign trail in Family Feud spoof
SUMMARY
In a recent Saturday Night Live sketch, the show's cold open took aim at former First Lady Melania Trump's noticeable absence from her husband Donald Trump's 2024 campaign. The segment, a spoof of Family Feud, featured Kenan Thompson as host Steve Harvey, introducing teams led by Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. When it came time to introduce the Trump family, James Austin Johnson, playing Donald Trump, pointed out that Melania was missing. He joked, "So strange, Melania was standing right next to me three years ago," humorously alluding to her lack of presence on the campaign trail. The sketch also featured playful takes on other political figures, including a goofy portrayal of Governor Tim Walz and a confused President Joe Biden, highlighting the comedic angle on the current political landscape.
