There’s a lot of news to be covered from this week, and “Saturday Night Live” reveals it all to Judge Jeanine.

The Fox News personality, played by Cecily Strong, opened an episode of the NBC variety show on Saturday night.

“Good evening, I’m Judge Jeanine Pirro, and if anyone watching is wearing a hearing aid, I’m sorry, you’re dead,” he said.

Strong’s Pirro began with this week’s top story: Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted after killing two people and injuring a third during protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last summer.

“That interesting scam was experienced in a nightmare of a trial just for doing the bravest thing any American could do: Protecting an empty car lot in someone else’s town,” Strong’s said. Pirro.

He then released Judge Bruce Schroeder, played by Mikey Day. The judge called Rittenhouse his “client.”

“Are you referring to the defendant?” Strong’s Pirro asked.

“Oh, yeah sure,” he replied. “I keep doing that.”

Strong’s Pirro then released a White legal analyst from NPR, played by Chloe Fineman, and a Black law professor, played by Chris Redd.

Fineman’s White NPR reporter said he was “shocked” by the verdict.

“You are? Because I’m not,” Redd’s Black law professor said.

Fineman’s reporter said he had never seen anything like it before.

“I have, many, many times,” Redd’s professor replied.

Strong’s Pirro moved in with his special guest: former President Donald Trump, played by James Austin Johnson.

Johnson’s Trump was there to talk about President Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill, but instead rant about reboots, including “iCarly,” female Ghostbusters, and “Gossip Girl.”

“Why did they reboot‘ Gossip Girl? ’” Trump randomly asked Johnson.

He then went on to another rant, but this time there was a word search on the screen with Chris Christie, Dua Lipa and Bob the Builder.

Strong’s Pirro then shouted, “That’s bingo, baby!” because everything Trump thinks is connected.

He then entered the show’s signature catchphrase, “Live from New York! It’s Saturday night! “
