The “Saturday Night Live” episode was hosted by the former cast member Kristen Wiig, and did not shy away from political commentary. (Last week’s episode, hosted by Dave Chappelle, skipped an overly political cold open in favor of Kate McKinnon dressed as Hillary Clinton singing Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.”) One skit served as an advertisement for the liberal bubble, with the tagline: “In here, it’s like the election never happened.” Another skit revealed outraged CNN anchors to be repetitive, malfunctioning androids from HBO’s “Westworld.”

And on “Weekend Update,” Michael Che and Colin Jost discussed the election and questioned Mr. Trump’s desire to be president. Mr. Che said: “He just liked the chase. He enjoyed wooing America for 18 months.”
