The show of course kicked off with a politically-themed cold open. In this sketch, Donald Trump's attorney Alan Dershowitz (Jon Lovitz) gives Senator Mitch McConnell (Beck Bennett) and Senator Susan Collins (Cecily Strong) a preview of his impeachment defense. Driver also plays Jeffrey Epstein in the sketch.
