      Showtime

      Stephen Colbert’s new Showtime series Our Cartoon President has a knack for making its cold open sequences ultra-timely—no small feat for an animated show. And this Sunday’s episode is no exception.

      In the exclusive clip below, President Trump is revealed as a last-minute replacement Oscar host for Jimmy Kimmel thanks to the work of some Russian bots. And he begins by giving his impressions of this year’s Best Picture nominees.

      “I watched Get Out sitting next to Jeff Sessions,” he says. “The guy wouldn’t stop taking notes and smiling like he’s in a toothpaste commercial.”

      Call Me by Your Name? “If I wanted to see a lanky boy get screwed on foreign soil, I’d hang out with Jared Kushner.”

      “Oh, I’m going to miss my Lady Bird Hope Hicks,” he adds in another timely reference, before admitting to being a big fan of Pixar’s Coco, “or any movie about a group of singing and dancing dead Mexicans.”

      Later, Vice President Mike Pence sings “Danny Boy” as an In Memoriam montage of real-life Hollywood predators plays on the screen behind him with Trump’s running commentary.

      “I forgot Spacey went this year. Tambor! Did not see that coming. Brett Ratner, absolutely saw that one coming,” Trump remarks. “Makes you think, how much longer do I have?”
