TL;DR

Saturday Night Live kicks off its March 7 episode with a cold open spoofing President Trump’s firing of Kristi Noem as Homeland Security secretary. Ashley Padilla plays Noem, declaring she wasn’t fired and quipping that she “self-deported,” as Colin Jost’s Pete Hegseth announces she’s been reassigned “under the bus.” The sketch notes Noem’s future, mentioning a Denver-area WeWork, while Trump’s pick to replace her is floated as Markwayne Mullin. The episode also features host Ryan Gosling and a surprise appearance by Harry Styles, with Styles set to host again next week.
