'SNL' cold opens satirize Trump more than Biden despite being out of office for two years
"Saturday Night Live" continues scaling back its mockery of President Biden in his first two years of office instead taking more aim at a former president who the liberal sketch comedy show cannot let go.
For decades, the "SNL" cold opens satirize the week's biggest news story, which often involves the president. That's no longer the case with Biden, who has only been mocked seven times across 43 episodes that have aired during his presidency, just one time during the current 48th season so far, which took place the Saturday before the midterms. That's less than 17% of the time.
Former President Trump, meanwhile, has appeared ten times in those 43 episodes, more than 23% of them, including four times in the current season.
