‘SNL UK’ Cold Open Offers a Frightening Glimpse of Trump and Farage 20 Years Ahead

The latest cold open of SNL UK presents a futuristic scenario in 2046, where Nigel Farage is the UK prime minister and Donald Trump is “king.” In the video, Farage, played by Peter Serafinowicz, enjoys a drink at Number 10 as former Conservative leader and now deputy Kemi Badenoch, portrayed by Ayoade Bamgboye, delivers his morning briefing. Badenoch mentions, “One last thing: King Trump assures us he’s almost negotiated a ceasefire over the Strait of Hormuz!” Farage responds, “Phew, for a minute there it felt like we were on the brink of World War IV.”
