The New York Times reported that James Talarico, the Democratic senator-elect from Texas, appeared in an episode of Saturday Night Live to "turn the tables" on the show's Trump impersonator, James Austin Johnson. The newspaper's report was published under the headline On ‘S.N.L.,’ James Talarico Gets to Interrupt Trump.

According to the newspaper's summary, the episode was hosted by the comedian Druski. The summary describes Talarico's appearance as a moment in which he turned the tables on Johnson's portrayal of the president, but it does not describe the sketch itself, the lines delivered, or how the audience responded.

The Times report was written by Dave Itzkoff. Its headline characterizes the appearance as one in which Talarico gets to interrupt Trump, while its summary describes the same appearance as a reversal aimed at the impersonator. The two descriptions differ in emphasis, though both place Talarico in the episode in the same role.

The Times identifies Talarico only by his office and state. The summary does not say how he came to appear on the program, whether the appearance was arranged in advance, or what he said during the episode. Those details, if reported, would appear in the full article rather than in the headline and summary available for this account.

This story relies solely on the headline and summary of The New York Times report. No other reporting was consulted, and no additional details about the episode, the sketch, or Talarico's position have been independently confirmed.
