  The SNL alum helped recreate the real March 6 meeting between the president, Cabinet members, and the tech billionaire.

The article discusses a "Saturday Night Live" (SNL) cold open from March 8, where actor Mike Myers, known for his role as Dr. Evil in the "Austin Powers" series, made a surprise appearance. During the sketch, which parodied a Senate hearing on TikTok, Myers, playing Dr. Evil, humorously commented on Elon Musk's wealth, referencing Musk's $44 billion acquisition of Twitter by saying, "I would never spend $44 billion on Twitter, that's almost as much as I spent on my space laser." This line was a playful jab at both Musk's business decisions and the character Dr. Evil's penchant for grandiose and often impractical schemes. The sketch also featured other notable figures like Senators Tom Cotton and Josh Hawley, portrayed by SNL cast members, discussing the implications of TikTok's data privacy issues.
