The first episode of "Saturday Night Live U.K.” has opened with a political cold open featuring UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer trying to tell U.S. President Donald Trump that he doesn't want to join the war in Iran. Starmer's adviser, Jack Shep, suggested that instead of breaking up with Trump on the phone, he should send him a voice note. The note read: "I'm Afraid I can't go to war with you, but that doesn't mean that we can't be chums." Starmer responded by saying he would try anything to keep Trump happy. The episode ended with the iconic words "Live from London, it's Saturday night!"
