The Saturday Night Live cast gave their moms their flowers for Mother’s Day!
During the Cold Open of the May 10 episode of the late-night comedy sketch series, castmembers Kenan Thompson and Bowen Yang paid tribute to their moms (with fake stand-ins!) ahead of the annual springtime holiday. Marcello Hernandez also honored his mom, Isabel Cancela — who is a big PEOPLE fan.
“Well, tomorrow is Mother’s Day, and in the SNL tradition, we’d like to take this time to celebrate our Moms,” Thompson, 47, began, as Yang, 34, continued, “The women who made us, cared for us and bit their tongues when we told them we wanted to go into show business.”
“They’ve done so much for us, so, mom’s this is for you,” Hernandez, 27, added, before the trio broke into song about all the things their moms have done for them throughout their lives.
James Austin Johnson then appeared onstage to impersonate Donald Trump, kicking the group offstage, and joking that the late-night series couldn’t pay to fly the cast’s real moms out. He then finished the rest of the segment, which was completed with Cecily Strong making a surprise cameo to reprise her parody of Jeanine Pirro, only five weeks after she gave birth to her first baby.
