Tonights season finale of Saturday Night Live started in the familiar Holstens Restaurant in Bloomfield N.J., the location of the series finale of The Sopranos. The location seems like it wouldnt be a Trump-centric sketch, but those assumptions were immediately put to rest when Alec Baldwin comes sauntering in with his Donald Trump pout and squinty sneer. As soon as he drops a quarter in the jukebox to play Journeys “Dont Stop Believin'”, you get an idea of what this sketch is trying to accomplish…more or less.

As Trump sits there in the restaurant he joined by his cronies: first Kate McKinnon as one of Trumps lawyers Rudy Giuliani. Trump asks if hes been on any talk shows lately to which he answers yes. He also adds that “I even confessed to crimes you didnt do — what are they gonna do, arrest you? I dare ya!” To which both have a hearty laugh.

Next up is Ben Stiller reprising his role as Michael Cohen. They ask him how hes doing and he answers that he is just preparing to go to jail. “They say I might do 20 years unless I give you up,” he tells Trump.

Trump replies, “Ive heard jails fun. Its like camp — theres a free gym dude youre gonna get so jacked!”

“You gotta focus on the good times!” Cohen tries to stay positive. “Isnt that what you once told me — thats why you told me to keep a copy of the Russian pee tape.”

Giuliani interjects and says that he must show that clip on CNN. “Don Lemons gonna love that,” he says.

Enter Don Jr. (Mikey Day) while Eric (Alex Moffatt) parallel parks his Big Wheel outside (clearly mocking the parallel parking scene in the Sopranos finale).

As Trump and his crew celebrate the one year anniversary of the Russia investigation, Trump spots Robert Mueller (Robert De Niro) who sits silently in the corner. Apparently, the rest of them cant see him.

Trump is clearly haunted by Muellers presence as he gets up and makes the threatening universal sign of “I have my eyes on you” in Trumps direction before the screen abruptly cuts to black.

This makes as much sense as The Sopranos finale — which probably was the whole point of this sketch.
