This holiday weekend, "Saturday Night Live" kicked off its show with the Easter Bunny, who some special guests joined to deliver special holiday messages.
"Good day, everyone! It's me, the Easter Bunny, who's calling. "During the episode's cold open, cast member Bowen Yang dressed as a bunny, said. "Or you're at Coachella, and the mushrooms are starting to kick in."
While Yang's Easter Bunny isn't the most "A-list holiday character," he is the "freakiest."
He described him as a "man-sized rabbit with no past." "Can you tell me who he is?"
Dr. Anthony Fauci, played by Kate McKinnon, was the first.
"I'm not here to give you any more COVID advice. I don't think you're stupid enough to think you'll do it, "According to McKinnon's Fauci. "All I'll say is that COVID cases, like Jesus, have risen from the dead!"
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, played by Cecily Strong, arrived next, brandishing a chocolate AR-15.
"Don't worry, this firearm is chocolate," she explained, "but the bullets are real." "God bless Russia — I mean, America — and have a happy Easter. Isn't it a little of both?"
A guy with a beard and also long hair was another unusual guest.
The man said, "Hey, it's me, Jesus Christ." "I'm Jared Leto, just kidding."
Leto, Kyle Mooney's character, said his message was "positivity."
"So please don't review my new film, 'Morbius,' if you go see it," he remarked. "If you're the type who writes reviews for movies, 'Morbius' isn't for you."
Former US President Donald Trump, played by James Austin Johnson, was the penultimate special guest.
"Easter is the season for baskets, bunnies, and bonnets," Johnson's Trump stated. "And don't forget about the egg."
The former mayor of Austin then went off on a tangent on Reese's eggs, Cap'n Crunch, and berries.
"What in the globe are you on about?" Yang's Easter Bunny was the one who inquired.
Johnson's Trump then stated that he had stated that Easter would complete COVID.
"I just didn't tell which one, OK?" says the narrator. He stated, "So, everyone, say it with me! Easter greetings!"
Then he and the other special guests stated the show's catchphrase, "It's live from New York! It's Saturday evening!"
