This was the first episode of SNL’s 48th season. It also featured actors Miles Teller, Andrew Dismukes, and Jon Hamm. This season was mainly in the news for being in a transitional [https://ew.com/awards/emmys/lorne-michaels-saturday-night-live-season-48-preview-new-cast-members/] phase this year, due to many of the cast members quitting and new members joining in. KICKING OFF THE SEASON IN STYLE Professional Olympic snowboarder, Shaun White, participated in the SNL skit alongside, James Austin Johnson. The cold open saw the two hosts, Miles and Andrew perform a parody of the ‘Manningcast’, a show hosted by NFL brothers, Peyton and Eli Manning. They poked fun at SNL, the cast who quit and even at each other. One of the skits featured James Austin Johnson as Trump, and Shaun White as his special master. White was given the responsibility of handling Trump’s Mar-a-Lago documents. The three-time Olympic gold medalist, was welcomed with a jab by Miles. He took a dig on White’s sudden appearance by saying, “Shaun White — that is just gratuitous stunt casting.” Retiring [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-snowboarding-news-shaun-white-reveals-the-one-thing-he-wont-quit-doing-even-after-retiring/] Shaun and Miles are incidentally good friends off-screen owing to their mutual, Nina Dobrev.

(Photo by Quinn Rooney/Getty Images)[/caption]
<h2><b>Shaun White’s early life and family</b></h2>
Shaun White was born in San Diego, California on 3rd September 1986 to parents Cathy and Roger White.  He was born with a Tetralogy of Fallot, a congenital heart defect for which he required two open-heart operations before the age of one.

Shaun graduated from California’s Carlsbad High School and didn't manage to enroll in college for he had already started to lay the foundation in the snowboarding arena.

The snowboarder has two siblings, Kari White (sister) and Jesse White (brother). His brother motivated him to take up snowboarding as a career. Interestingly, now Jesse White remains Shaun’s best friend and business manager. On the other hand, Kari White also chose a vocation in snowboarding and went with her brother to the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang.
<h2><b>Shaun White’s snowboarding career</b></h2>
At a very early age, Shaun's talent was noticed by the legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk. Shaun started training under Tony at the age of 9, and by 16, he was a professional skateboarder. Interestingly, he had started his journey in skiing before switching to skateboarding.

White started competing at the X Games, and notably, he has clinched every medal at the games since 2000. In 2006, he made his maiden Olympics appearance at the Winter Olympics and clinched the gold medal in the half-pipe event.

In 2008, White released his own video game named <em>'Shaun White Snowboarding'</em>, which became the 20th best-selling game in the USA. White had his second Olympic appearance in 2010, at the Vancouver Winter Olympics, and again clinched the gold medal.

In the 2016 Winter Olympics, he again reclaimed his title by clinching the gold medal. Remarkably, he had faced a major injury leading to 62 stitches on his face, albeit he still outclassed everyone. His gold medal marked the 100th win for Team USA at the Winter Olympics.
