‘SNL’ Reveals Plan to ‘Reinvent’ Trump for 2024 Election Season
Ahead of the sketch show’s 50th season, Saturday Night Live creator, Lorne Michaels, is talking about how they will approach portraying Donald Trump in future episodes.
In a joint interview with cast members Michael Che and Colin Jost published Thursday, Michaels told The Hollywood Reporter that they would have to “reinvent” their Trump impression.
“And Trump has morphed. James (Austin Johnson), who I think is brilliant, played Trump as the sort of diminished Trump. The guy at the back of the hardware store holding court, and that played because it felt relevant. But we are going to have to reinvent it again because, well, you saw the debate,” Michaels said.
