π SNL Video Recap: Miles Teller Doubles Up as the Property Brothers in Wild Trump Sketch
Saturday Night Live once again proved why it’s the home of late-night satire — this week’s episode featured host Miles Teller returning to the show with a hilarious, surreal sketch that had everyone talking. In a wild twist, Teller played both of HGTV’s famous Property Brothers, Drew and Jonathan Scott — but this time, their client was none other than Donald Trump.
π The Setup: Property Brothers Meet Politics
The sketch opened like a typical episode of Property Brothers, complete with upbeat theme music, real estate jargon, and that familiar HGTV polish. Teller appeared side-by-side — thanks to clever editing and split-screen magic — as both brothers. Their latest project? Renovating Trump’s “Mar-a-Lago Annex” — a fictional Florida property filled with gold leaf, chandeliers, and “unexplained classified documents.”
From the moment Trump (played by James Austin Johnson) entered, the absurdity skyrocketed.
π£️ “Can You Build Me a Courtroom?”
Trump greeted the brothers with his trademark bravado, explaining that he wanted a “multipurpose room” that could serve as a courtroom, press room, and golf simulator — all in one. Teller’s dual characters tried to stay professional but kept breaking character as Trump’s requests grew wilder:
“I want marble floors — not for walking, for reflecting my greatness.”
The bit’s best moment came when Jonathan Teller tried to explain the renovation budget while Drew Teller enthusiastically showed Trump a 3D model of his “ego extension wing.” Teller’s comedic timing as he argued with himself had the live audience roaring.
π§± Miles Teller’s Masterclass in Comedy
It’s not easy to play two characters in the same sketch, but Teller nailed the balance — each brother had distinct mannerisms, vocal inflections, and reactions.
-
Drew Teller was the calm, polished HGTV type.
-
Jonathan Teller was manic, increasingly frustrated, and on the verge of quitting.
By the end, Teller even performed a brief musical montage (a parody of the Property Brothers’ theme song) with Trump awkwardly trying to dance along.
π Audience Reaction & Online Buzz
Within minutes of the broadcast, the sketch started trending on X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok, with fans praising Teller’s range and SNL’s production team for pulling off the double role seamlessly. Memes flooded in, especially of Trump saying, “I’ve flipped more properties than you, believe me.”
One fan wrote:
“Miles Teller arguing with himself as the Property Brothers is the best thing SNL’s done in years.”
π¬ Behind the Scenes
According to backstage reports, the sketch was filmed twice to perfect the timing between Teller’s dual performances. The writing team — led by Colin Jost and Mikey Day — reportedly built the idea around Teller’s ability to switch personalities quickly, after his strong impressions during rehearsal.
Even the real Property Brothers responded on social media, joking:
“We’re flattered, but we’d never install gold toilets… probably.”
πΊ A Night of Vintage SNL Energy
Beyond the Property Brothers bit, Teller’s episode delivered classic SNL energy — sharp writing, fast pacing, and memorable characters. The Weekend Update segment poked fun at both politics and pop culture, while musical guest Olivia Rodrigo stole hearts with a haunting live performance.
SNL seems to have rediscovered its rhythm this season — sketches like this one strike the perfect mix of absurd humor and cultural commentary.
π Final Thoughts
Miles Teller proved once again that he’s not just a dramatic actor — he’s got elite comedy chops. His double-role Property Brothers parody might go down as one of SNL’s most rewatchable sketches of 2025.
The episode balanced political satire and goofy fun, leaving fans eager to see Teller host again.
