SNL Cold Open features Pete Davidson as Border Czar Tom Homan

Sun, 02/01/2026 - 17:44

Former SNL cast member Pete Davidson returned to 30 Rock last night as the White House's Border Czar, Tom Homan, whose name has been in the news a lot in recent weeks, considering the surge of ICE in Minnesota.

In usual fashion, SNL tried to make light of the horrors we're seeing on our screens daily, this time referencing the shooting of American citizens, the arrest of journalist Don Lemon, and ICE's use of force.

"I'm Tom Homan, okay?" Davidson's Homan said, trying not to break character. "I'm the 'separating families at the border' guy. I'm the 'on film taking a $50,000 bribe' guy, and y'all are making me look like the upstanding, reasonable adult in the room. That's crazy!"

SNL also took the opportunity to take another jab at the Epstein files, saying that the White House's Minneapolis operation was meant to distract from that initial drop, while the latest Epstein files released Friday are, ironically, distracting from Minneapolis.
