This week’s episode of “Saturday Night Live” stared with a political cold open that brought Aziz Ansari to the sketch show.

The segment began with Ashley Padilla’s Karoline Leavitt launching a press briefing at the White House.

“You know I’m going on maternity leave, which is when you ask President Trump about maternity, and he says, ‘Leave,'” she snarked.
