This past Saturday, Saturday Night Live featured an attention-grabbing cold opening for its second episode of the season. The scene took place at the Republican National Committee’s offices in Washington, D.C. Here, cast members Andrew Dismukes and Ashley Padilla prepared to create ads aimed at energizing the Republican base. The aim was to address the upcoming midterm elections, which seem challenging for the GOP.
In an intriguing twist, Dakota Johnson took on hosting duties. Adding to the evening’s flair, she introduced her ‘literal therapist,’ Taylor Swift, adding a unique element to the show.
During a promo shoot held on Thursday, Johnson was seen with musical guests Turnstile, highlighting the collaborative spirit of the episode.
