Donald Trump took a naked shower with Paul Manafort on Saturday Night Live tonight, and yes, things got weirder from there. 
 
 Kicking the episode off in classic SNL fashion, Alec Baldwin reprised his role as Trump – the real-life version of whom is on his first trip to Asia as president, the late night version of whom snuck off to check on his old buddy Manafort (Alex Moffat) after his no good very bad week. 
 
 But don’t worry. Melania is happy with the (very) fake lookalike Baldwin’s Trump sent along in his stead. In fact, she’s falling in love! 
 
 To make absolutely sure Manafort isn’t wearing a wire, Trump insisted the pair pop in the shower together, as one does. He even got in a shot at the Hollywood scandal du jour. 
 
 “What an idiot that Harvey Weinstein is; he could’ve gotten away with all of it if only he’d gotten himself elected president,” Baldwin said to a chorus of audience groans. 
 
 And not just a regular naked shower with the sitting president of the United States either! 
 
 This one had special guests: Vice President Mike Pence (Beck Bennett) and everyone’s favorite Keebler elf, Attorney General Jeff Sessions (Kate McKinnon). 
 
 “I’m wearing a bathing costume that I got from my favorite place – the 1890s,” McKinnon said in her practiced Sessionsian drawl. “Plus I thought we should get all used to wearing stripes.” 
 
 The trio of executive authority, or perhaps, the SNL writers, ultimately determined the best course of action to save a Manafort who seems destined for prison would involve a presidential turkey pardon. Unless, of course, the Trump family accidentally eats him. 
 
 A man can dream. ||||| Larry David’s monologue on this weekend’s Saturday Night Live was pretty, pretty, pretty — well, not great, according to some people. 
 
 The Curb Your Enthusiasm star ended his opening words with a run of jokes that left a poor taste in many viewers’ mouths: “I’ve always been obsessed with women, and I’ve often wondered: If I’d grown up in Poland when Hitler came to power and was sent to a concentration camp, would I still be checking out women in the camp?” he started before imagining what kind of conversation he’d have with another guy as they figured out how to flirt. 
 
 “The problem is, there are no good opening lines in a concentration camp,” he continued, then proposed some: “‘How’s it going? They treatin’ you okay? You know, if we ever get out of here, I’d love to take you out for some latkes. You like latkes?’” 
 
 Although many Twitter users were not fans of David’s bit, some defended it: “Larry David may be the most important Jewish comedian ever,” user Barret tweeted. “He’s allowed to make concentration camp jokes.” 
 
 See Twitter’s less positive reactions to the joke below, and stay tuned for EW’s full recap on the night’s episode, hosted by David and featuring musical guest Miley Cyrus.

 Larry David's concentration camp bit is just blehhhhhh. Feels tired for all its attempts at whatever it's attempting. — NamoInExelsis (@NamoInExile) November 5, 2017 ||||| On 'SNL,' Aziz Ansari Aims To Quell Some American Angst That Shirtless Putin Can't

 With no shortage of material to work with, Saturday Night Live satirized a packed week in American politics, reiterating themes imparted by critics for months. 
 
 The episode kicked off by lampooning Russia's role in influencing the U.S. election. 
 
 Cast member Beck Bennett brought back smug shirtless Vladimir Putin, the star of Saturday's cold open, to assuage America's fears about their new president, in a speech carried by RT, the Russian government-funded outlet. 
 
 "You are worried that your country is in the hands of this unpredictable man. But don't worry, it's not," he smirks. 
 
 Just look at Russia, suggests SNL's Putin, whose administration also started out on a road of skepticism. 
 
 "Many Russians were skeptical of me at first too, but today, no one seems to hear from any of them," he says. "It's like they're gone." 
 
 The same day millions of American women marched to protest an administration they believe threatens their rights, Bennett's Putin says that we must simply look to the satisfaction of Russian women to ease our fears. 
 
 Enter Olya, Kate McKinnon's subservient Russian character, reading from a scripted statement detailing her contentment under Putin's leadership. Olya returns, from outside the window behind him, wearing a pink 'pussyhat,' gesturing "I'm watching you," at her leader. 
 
 SNL made fun of the low attendance of Friday's inauguration, the central topic of discussion at the White House Briefing Room earlier Saturday evening, when White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer accused media outlets of downplaying crowd sizes. 
 
 But what may have genuinely quelled American viewers more were diplomatic words from the week's host, comedian Aziz Ansari. Ansari's monologue fell in line with a larger trend among soapbox comedians, who aim to argue a broader social message first — to what's often their already solid fan base — and to elicit laughter second. 
 
 As NPR Politics reporter Jessica Taylor notes, "The most nuanced takes on the election have come from stand-up comedians," like Dave Chappelle's hosting stint the weekend after the election and now, Aziz Ansari the day after the inauguration. 
 
 "We've always been divided by some of these big political issues. It's fine," the comedian said. "As long as we treat each other with respect and remember that ultimately, we're all Americans, we'll be fine." 
 
 Dubbing him the "Chris Brown of politics," Ansari said we shouldn't demonize all of Trump's supporters. Like the fans of the pop star who beat former girlfriend Rihanna, some supporters rallied behind Trump for his ideology (in Brown's case, the tunes), not his character. 
 
 Laying out the day's events as a reason to stay hopeful, Ansari continued, "Change doesn't come from presidents, change comes from large groups of angry people. And if day one [of Trump's presidency] is any indication, you are part of the largest group of angry people I've ever seen," he cracked. "Yesterday, Trump was inaugurated — today, an entire gender protested against him." 
 
 The next political-themed sketch of the night featured Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway (McKinnon, again) in a Chicago-esque parody. Dodging questions in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper (Bennett), McKinnon's Conway pivots instead to perform a musical number about her newfound celebrity in the political world. 
 
 Next up, the show's "Weekend Update" segment took on the week's leftover news headlines. In exchange for the "Update" anchor's usual humorous twist to cap off each news item, Michael Che frequently leaned on a reaction image of Michelle Obama depicted with a side-eye glance, adding a curt "Hmph." The many faces of the former first lady on Inaguration Day, which suggest she broke her poker face, have been circulating social media. 
 
 The post-inauguration show closed with a sentimental tribute to the 44th president. Cecily Strong, joined a couple verses later by Sasheer Zamata, sang "To Sir, With Love," in front of a backdrop of a black-and-white photo of Barack Obama. The scene echoed the show's post-election episode, featuring Kate McKinnon's solemn double tribute to a freshly defeated Hillary Clinton and the late singer Leonard Cohen. 
 
 The screen faded to black with the message, "Thank You President Obama." 
 
 Viewers on Twitter lamented the absence of resident Trump impersonator Alec Baldwin, who has previously said he's "trying to shed the Donald Trump cloak." 
 
 Hopefully Baldwin's no-show will give some solace to the new president, who has criticized SNL as "Unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can't get any worse. Sad."
– Saturday Night Live covered a lot of ground in its most recent episode, from President Trump and Paul Manafort naked together in the shower to Larry David making ill-received concentration camp jokes. Alec Baldwin kicked off the show as Trump talking to Manafort in the wake of his disastrous week, heading to the shower as a way to ensure that Manafort isn't wearing a wire, notes Mashable. Joining them are Kate McKinnon as Jeff Sessions ("I’m wearing a bathing costume that I got from my favorite place—the 1890s," she drawls. "Plus I thought we should get all used to wearing stripes.") and Beck Bennett as VP Mike Pence. Meanwhile, at the SNL version of the White House, Aidy Bryant brought back her impersonation of Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders that Slate says "singlehandedly saved the day." But guest-host David is taking some heat over his monologue, notes People, in which he cracked that “I’ve always been obsessed with women, and I’ve often wondered: If I’d grown up in Poland when Hitler came to power and was sent to a concentration camp, would I still be checking out women in the camp?" he wondered before musing about flirting. "The problem is, there are no good opening lines in a concentration camp."
