‘SNL’ Takes Shot at President Trump’s Physical in Cold Open

'Saturday Night Live' holds mock presser to open Jessica Chastain-hosted episode.

Saturday Night Live resorted to some pretty sophomoric humor in its latest cold open. Just about all of the four-and-a-half-minute skit featured Aidy Bryant reprising her role as White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, joined this time by Beck Bennett as Dr. Ronny Jackson, the Physician to the President. Much material was made, with some winks and a nudge, to President Trump’s weight, alleged sexual escapades with a porn star and mental fitness. Bennett’s Jackson deadpanned that Trump “nailed every position” on the sex test.  “When he finished there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.”
