Mikey Day as Jim Jordan

Saturday Night Live opened its episode hosted by Bad Bunny by poking fun at Rep. Jim Jordan, the Republican politician who has tried and failed, over and over, to secure enough votes to become the next Speaker of the House.

The cold open was basically an excuse to talk about the news of the day and to shoehorn in some of SNL's best impressions. Mikey Day did his ever-angry Jordan. Bowen Yang trotted out his version of serial fabulist Rep. George Santos. Chloe Fineman did her version of controversial Republican Lauren Boebert. And, of course, James Austin Johnson did his fantastic Donald Trump impression.

We won't spoil where the sketch goes but a personal favorite moment is when the former president talks about Jordin Sparks' 2008 pop hit "No Air."
