CAN DONALD TRUMP TAKE A JOKE ON SNL?

Nikki Haley made a surprise appearance in the opening skit of Saturday Night Live on February 3 and to be politically fair, NBC also invited her main rivals, President Joe Biden and Donald Trump to appear in future episodes. According to our source, President Biden is 99% committed to appear, but Trump not so much.  The problem is:  the show doesn’t guarantee anything, meaning – you gotta be able to take a joke.  Case in point:  SNL ribbed  good sport Nikki about her misstep when she didn’t mention slavery as the reason for the Civil War.  While Biden is prepared to be made fun of – (we can almost hear the age jokes now ) – thin skinned Trump has zero sense of humor when HE’S the butt of jokes.  He insists on complete control of a skit.  Needless to say, the show said no way,  so it’s unlikely now he will appear.  Based on his past behavior, he’ll CLAIM he was unfairly excluded, so remember where you read this.  He turned them down because he can’t take a joke.

A JOKE FOR BEN AFFLECK?

Here’s a puzzle: This cute cardboard cut-out of Ana de Armas was furtively placed in front of Ben Affleck’s Brentwood house by one of his daughters, who ran home giggling afterward. Ben’s daughters seem quite fond of Ana and spend considerable time with her and their dad, so it’s NOT a negative gesture and it’s not Ana’s birthday. Certainly it was a fun surprise for Ben.
