Saturday Night Live reveals Bill Murray as their Steve Bannon

Cast member Leslie Jones played Oprah in both cold open and Weekend Update Bill Murray makes surprise 'SNL' appearance as Steve Bannon

"SNL" brought out another old cast member, Fred Armisen, to play Michael Wolff, the author of "Fire and Fury", the bestseller that explores the inner workings of the Trump White House.

"The Bannon magic is still out there", Murray as Bannon said.

Saturday Night Live continues the trend of political cold opens with last night's episode, parodying Morning Joe, a weekday NBC News morning news and talk show.

"My God, Steve, I always thought you looked like Death", McKinnon said.

Malaysia hires United States firm to resume search for missing MH370
Ocean Infinity will take on the economic risk of the renewed search , only receiving payment if the aircraft wreckage is located. This new move will obviously once more raise the hopes of the family and friends of the 239 people board the Malaysian airliner.

Murray's character denied the statements he made to Wolff that were published in the book - where he said that the meeting between a Russian lawyer and Donald Trump Jr., along with Trump campaign aides, was "treasonous".

Mika (Kate McKinnon) and Joe (Alex Moffat) made everyone as uncomfortable as ever with their wholly inappropriate double entendre and tone-deaf interview an with African-American studies expert (Chris Redd) who couldn't get a word in edgewise. "It's called 'Cucks In Cars Getting Coffee, '" Murray replied. "The Bannon dynasty is dawning". Wolff wrote in a column for The Hollywood Reporter: "The nature of the comedy, it was soon clear, was that here was a group of ambitious men and women who had reached the pinnacle of power, a high-ranking White House appointment - with the punchline that Donald Trump was president".

After a year of cloaking their Steve Bannon under the now-iconic, and considering the state of his career, increasingly-appropriate, Grim Reaper garb, the folks at Saturday Night Live have finally revealed his true identity - Bill Murray! Some of them include - wrinkled barn jackets called "Frumpers" for guys, spring skin care line called "Blotch" and a new show on streaming platform Crackle. "I'm already auditioning candidates and prospects like Logan Paul, Martin Shkreli, the Subway guy". But I'm different than Donald Trump because I'm actually a billionaire. There's only one job more powerful than being president.
