Saturday Night Live's cold open featured a Mother's Day message interrupted by James Austin Johnson as Donald Trump and Cecily Strong's returning Jeanine Pirro. Strong's Pirro joked about her new role and her Fox News colleagues, including a humorous exchange with Colin Jost's Pete Hegseth. Host Walton Goggins, celebrating his unexpected sex symbol status, delivered a heartfelt Mother's Day tribute to his mother, culminating in a dance. The episode marked Goggins' hosting debut and Arcade Fire's sixth appearance, with next week's finale featuring Scarlett Johansson and Bad Bunny.
