Saturday Night Live went political at the launch of its 46th season with a parody of last week’s presidential debate, a jab at Donald Trump by Chris Rock, and a message from Megan Thee Stallion in support of black people.

The NBC late-night sketch series, returning to the studio after the coronavirus pandemic halted production, re-enacted the recent debate between Republican President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden.
