This Saturday, 'Saturday Night Live' kicks off its first episode following the recent presidential election, featuring Bill Burr as host and Mk.gee as musical guest. The show is anticipated to reflect on President-elect Donald Trump's win over Vice President Kamala Harris, signaling a change in tone for the traditionally liberal program. Historical moments from past election aftermaths highlight the potential for catharsis, particularly after the emotional performances of previous elections. The episode's cold open will be closely watched to see how the show addresses the new political landscape as it continues its 50th season.
