Robert De Niro returned to Saturday Night Live over the weekend (8 December), making a surprise appearance as special counsel Robert Mueller during the cold open.
The sketch ends with Trump Jr asking whether Mueller was the “worst thing to ever happen to my Dad”, to which he responds: “No, getting elected President was the worst thing to ever happen to your Dad.”
“It’s just me, Robert Mueller, your dad’s friend from work,” De Niro’s Mueller begins.
After De Niro’s character jokes with Trump Jr over some misspoken names (“You mean like Mr Pillow Fort”, “Manafort”), he finally gets down to why he’s there.
