Summary
Bowen Yang returned to “Saturday Night Live” to reprise Jensen Huang in a cold open that used the Nvidia-linked affair scandal to mock tech billionaires’ power, paranoia and social cluelessness.
John Mulaney, hosting for the 7th time, played a CIA agent warning moguls to tell spies from genuine romantic interest, with jokes aimed at Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk and Anthropic’s Dario Amodei.
Yang entered as “Jensen Hide-Your-Wife Huang,” delivering lines about crashing the S&P 500 and warning that “women don’t like guys like us,” turning the alleged espionage affair into the sketch’s punchline.
The episode also featured Mulaney’s monologue mocking Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his father, plus “Weekend Update” jokes about Friday’s nationwide FAA ground stop and thousands of canceled or delayed flights.
