There were a few standout moments (such as Trump dancing to “Hotline Bling”), but the then-candidate didn’t even appear in many of the episode’s sketches, and the cast didn’t have much confidence in his ability to perform the pre-written material.
Taran Killam recently sat down for an interview with Brooklyn Magazine, and the conversation inevitably turned to President Trump’s time hosting Saturday Night Live.
Killam’s frustration ultimately sounds motivated less by the anger of controversial politics, and more by Trump not being able to keep up with everyone else.
Despite all of the controversy, fanfare, and general excitement surrounding the episode, Killam’s comments seem to echo what many of us thought once the episode aired: it wasn’t all that interesting.
