Saturday Night Live no longer has Donald Trump or Richard Nixon to kick. This can spell trouble.

“No, I’m saying there is a lot of pressure,” says Gardner. “It’s the first show back, the first show in 2021, the first show since Trump.”
Kelly then adds: “No, no, no. She is right. You better be funny. “
