Seth takes a closer look at Trump and Elon Musk implementing their vision of an authoritarian government run by and for billionaires by snatching people off the street, sending people to foreign jails and dismantling programs that working people depend on.

Then, Nathan Lane talks about his awkward interaction with Kevin Costner during rehearsals for SNL's 50th anniversary, helping Bill Burr get cast in Broadway's Glengarry Glen Ross and filming Mid-Century Modern in front of a live studio audience.
