Following a star-studded cold open—a Sopranos finale parody that saw Robert De Niro's Robert Mueller confront Alec Baldwin's President Trump, Ben Stiller's Michael Cohen and Kate McKinnon's Rudy Giuliani in a New Jersey restaurant—and a fun little Morning Joe bit featuring Fey as Russian lawyer/spy Natalia Veselnitskaya, the former vice presidential candidate made her triumphant return to Studio 8H (in the form of Fey, of course).
