This week’s news about former NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang‘s multiple affairs — including one with an alleged Chinese spy — felt tailor-made for a Saturday Night Livecold open. During last night’s episode, hosted by John Mulaney, the show more than delivered.
The cold open takes place at CIA headquarters, where an officer (Mulaney) has gathered some of the nation’s top tech billionaires: Peter Thiel (James Austin Johnson), Sam Altman (Ben Marshall), Dario Amodei (Jane Wickline), Elon Musk (Jeremy Culhane), and Mark Zuckerberg (Andrew Dismukes). The CIA officer has assembled them all to teach them about honey traps, and how notto potentially reveal state secrets to foreign assets, Huang-style.
SNLtapped former cast member Bowen Yang to play Huang, or, as he dubs himself in the sketch, Jensen “Hide Your Wives” Huang. Yang also made an appearance in a later sketch: an elaborate musical ode to Central Park, part of the long-running tradition of Mulaney musical sketches. Yang played the “Mary Todd Lincoln Tunnel,” a tribute to his current role as Mary Todd Lincoln in Broadway’s Oh, Mary! (Yes, he’s wearing his costume, along with Mary’s signature bratty curls.)
To catch Yang’s return, as well as some timely digs at the Microsoft Outlook outage and FAA nationwide ground stop, check out the full cold open above. Recommended deals for you
