In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, an 'SNL' spokesperson said, "It's a long-standing 'SNL' tradition to have guest stars and hosts play a variety of characters, and that tradition continues tonight."

The spokesperson also said that the show "has a long history of using drag to portray a variety of characters, including politicians."
