James Austin Johnson was back in Trump-mode on \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d to mock the president\u2019s recent obsession with whether he\u2019s heaven-bound on this weekend\u2019s episode.<\/p>\n
Ribbing President Donald Trump\u2019s fondness for random podcast appearances, Johnson\u2019s character joined the faux show, \u201cSnack Homiez,\u201d<\/a>\u00a0which featured pop star Sabrina Carpenter<\/a> and \u201cSNL\u201d castmates Chloe Fineman, Jane Wickline and Veronika Slowikowska as four painfully Gen Alpha boys.<\/p>\n Buzz: Donald Trump Inauguration Blunder Has Stephen Colbert Asking: ‘Is He Really President?’<\/a><\/p>\n Before it was time for their special guest, in a conversation heavy on under-18 vernacular, the kids debated the best Halloween candies as well as the most \u201cgoated\u201d vegetables. (Answer: \u201cSome vegetables are fire and some are low-key a fruit.\u201d)<\/p>\n Asked for his thoughts on veggies (not a fan), Johnson sailed into one of Trump\u2019s signature stream of consciousness riffs where he bragged about ending \u201c200 wars\u201d \u2015 and addressed his decision to commute ex Congressman\u00a0George Santos\u2019 prison sentence<\/a> earlier that Saturday.<\/p>\n \u201cYou know who I like is that George Santos,\u201d \u201cSNL\u201d Trump said. \u201cHe\u2019s weird, he\u2019s a liar. I think he\u2019s great. We don\u2019t know anything about him, he\u2019s one of our favorite people. I don\u2019t know him at all, but one of our favorite people.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cPeople are marching because they\u2019re happy he\u2019s free,\u201d he went on, referring to the \u201cNo Kings\u201d rallies which brought out millions of Americans<\/a> earlier that day. \u201cIt\u2019s a \u2018Yes, King!\u2019 march. They say, \u2018Yes, King!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Out of the blue, the pretend president pivoted to one of his strangest recent fixations: where he\u2019s bound in the afterlife.<\/p>\n Buzz: ‘SNL’ Trump Redefines Recession And Signs ‘Belichick Law’ During Executive Order Spree<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cAm I going to heaven, chat?\u201d Johnson asked. \u201cDo I fit the criteria in terms of Christian and with regard to Saint Peter and Pearly Gates?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cProbably not. Right?\u201d he told the table of flummoxed preteens. \u201cEpstein! Oh, well. You know, it\u2019s been a good run. Had a great time.\u201d<\/p>\n Perplexing many, Trump has repeatedly pondered his postmortem fate in public over the past few months.<\/p>\n Back in August, he mused if he was heaven-worthy<\/a> in the middle of talking foreign policy on \u201cFox & Friends.\u201d<\/p>\n Buzz: Drew Barrymore Smells Her Co-Hosts\u2019 Feet On Air \u2014 And It Somehow Gets Weirder<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI want to try and get to heaven if possible,\u201d he said at the time. \u201cI\u2019m hearing I\u2019m not doing well. I hear I\u2019m really at the bottom of the totem pole. If I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n Last weekend while chatting with Fox News reporter Peter Doocy on Air Force he returned to the topic<\/a>, noting that he was being a bit cheeky before suggesting he might not be \u201cheaven-bound.\u201d<\/p>\n Thoughts and prayers, I guess?
