Romantic party crasher Domingo made his return to “Saturday Night Live” alongside host and musical guest Sabrina Carpenter as politics took a backseat to pop culture.<\/p>\n
Carpenter took over hosting duties for the first time and performed hits from her album “Man’s Best Friend” for her double-duty role for the night. The show’s start was delayed<\/a> because of college football. <\/p>\n Domingo, now a recurring character played by Marcello Hern\u00e1ndez, returned as Chloe Fineman’s Kelsey once again humiliated husband Matt, played by Andrew Dismukes. <\/p>\n Kelsey was focused on Matt’s 30th birthday, with a romantic night out, a table for two and her best friends, the “Kelsquad,” which sang about their recent trip to Nashville with Kelsey \u2014 and Domingo.<\/p>\n “D, O, M, I, N, G, O, Domingo!” they sang. <\/p>\n Enter Domingo, traveling Lothario, goateed singer, crooning about the night he and Kelsey had in Nashville, which, he noted, triggered a noise complaint. <\/p>\n “Kelsey, I’m serious, this is strike six!” a frustrated Matt warned.<\/p>\n Politics weren’t kept completely out of the show, as President Donald Trump, played by James Austin Johnson, continued a political strategy of appearing on podcasts.<\/p>\n This time, Trump took a seat at the table hosted by the “Snack Homiez,” a group of 12-year-old boys \u2014 and one 13-year-old “unc” \u2014 portrayed by Carpenter and women on the cast. They discussed “GOATed” vegetables and best Halloween candies.<\/p>\n “Some vegetables are fire, and some vegetables low-key be a fruit,” Carpenter’s character said on the podcast.<\/p>\n Trump was introduced by podcast host Braylor, played by Fineman: “You know him, he’s all over TikTok: President Donald J. Trump.”<\/p>\n Trump was asked to weigh in with his favorite vegetable. <\/p>\n “I’ve never been one for the veggies,” said Johnson’s Trump. “Ding Dongs. I like a Ding Dong.”<\/p>\n “We love Little Debbie,” he continued. “She does tremendous work. It’s awful what happened to her.”<\/p>\n Johnson’s Trump meandered off-topic in response to a question about his thoughts on Airheads candy. <\/p>\n “You know who I do like is George Santos,” he told the boys. “He’s weird. He’s a liar. I think he’s great. We don’t know anything about him. He’s one of our favorite people. I don’t know him at all. I don’t know anything about him.”<\/p>\n Trump on Friday commuted the sentence of the former U.S. representative, <\/a>who served only a few months of a more than seven-year sentence for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. <\/p>\n
