Can “Saturday Night Live” still write an opening sketch that isn’t about the misadventures of the Trump administration? This week’s episode showed that yes, it can, though it still had to reach into its celebrity Rolodex to get it done. (The episode, hosted by the “Game of Thrones” star Kit Harington, also featured a couple of sketches lampooning that popular HBO fantasy drama.) In the opening sketch, Sudeikis met with two campaign aides, played by cast members Cecily Strong and Kenan Thompson, who explained that they had an urgent matter to discuss with him. Strong added, “If you’re really going to run in 2020, you have to change the way you interact with women.”
