Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller meet as Robert Mueller and Michael Cohen on Saturday Night Live

On last night’s solid John Mulaney-hosted Saturday Night Live, Alec Baldwin’s Donald Trump was nowhere to be seen in his traditional political cold open slot. But Kate McKinnon and Beck Bennett were on hand to take up the slack as Jeff Sessions and Mike Pence, respectively, sweating out the recent FBI raid on Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen. (“I’m beginning to regret my wish to become a real
boy,” admits McKinnon’s ever opossum-esque Sessions.) As happens whenever a new, impossible-to-ignore figure in our ongoing national nightmare pops up (usually under some scandalous cloud, indictment, or both), the guessing game begins on just who SNL impresario Lorne Michaels is going to tap as the newest celebrity guest impressionist. (Melissa McCarthy, you are missed, even if the actual Sean Spicer is not. At all.)
