In the show’s cold open, Trump (played by James Austin Johnson) thanked Zelenskyy (played by Mikey Day) for dressing like “casual Star Trek” to the Oval Office before pushing the Ukrainian president to say sorry to Russian President Vladimir Putin. As Zelenskyy tried to calmly respond to Trump, Vance (played by Bowen Yang) had an over-the-top reaction to the lack of thanks from the Ukrainian president.
