Mike Myers Steals the Show as Elon Musk in Hilarious ‘SNL’ Cold Open
Alright, let’s talk about last night’s Saturday Night Live , because it was an absolute riot! Just when you thought the SNL 50th anniversary buzz was dying down, comedy legend Mike Myers popped up in a surprise appearance, and honestly, he stole the show. He jumped into the cold open as none other than Elon Musk, and his impression? Spot on. It had that signature Mike Myers flair, with a little Austin Powers energy sprinkled in for good measure.

So, here’s how it all went down. The sketch reimagined Donald Trump and JD Vance’s now-infamous Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. James Austin Johnson, who’s been nailing his Trump impersonation all season, kicked things off with a classic Trump-ism, welcoming Zelenskyy in the most awkward, backhanded way possible. He even threw in a dig about Zelenskyy’s casual attire, comparing it to Star Trek . And then, of course, he twisted it into some bizarre take about diversity—or the lack of it.
Mikey Day played Zelenskyy, but let’s be real—he barely got a word in. The sketch brilliantly mimicked the chaos of the real-life meeting, where Zelenskyy was constantly interrupted. Bowen Yang’s JD Vance jumped in every time Zelenskyy tried to speak, demanding more gratitude and even making it weirdly personal. “You didn’t say thank you. You didn’t say anything about us being handsome.” Classic SNL absurdity.
Then, enter Mike Myers. The audience erupted when he walked in as Elon Musk, complete with an exaggerated South African accent and Musk’s signature awkward energy. He kicked things off with, “Uh, Donald, what are you doing in my office? You know I’m the president now. I’m kidding! I’m kidding. Maybe not!”—before jumping up and down, chanting, “Legalize comedy! Legalize comedy!” The way he blended Musk’s unpredictable personality with a bit of his old Austin Powers mannerisms was absolute gold.
And, of course, he couldn’t resist poking fun at Musk’s infamous firing sprees. “They’re saying I’m firing people with no cause. But I do have cause. It’s cause I feel like it.” Savage.
The sketch perfectly captured the absurdity of real-life politics while adding that SNL over-the-top humor we all love. Myers’ Musk, Johnson’s Trump, and Yang’s Vance made for an absolutely chaotic but brilliant mix. This was classic SNL at its best—sharp, satirical, and ridiculously funny. If you haven’t seen it yet, go watch it. It’s already trending, and trust me, it’s worth the hype.
