Saturday Night Live (SNL) has once again found itself at the center of a heated debate after delivering a bold satirical take on the fiery Oval Office exchange between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The skit, aired on the show's latest episode, parodied the chaotic White House meeting that left political circles buzzing — but not everyone is laughing.
