NBC's late night sketch comedy "Saturday Night Live" is again hugging the headlines with its politically themed skits. Last weekend, actor Alec Baldwin returned to the show for his first ever appearance as President-elect Donald Trump.
In the opening sketch, SNL veteran Jason Sudeikis returned as the 2012 Presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who met President-elect Donald Trump over the weekend at Trump's New Jersey golf club to discuss the former's possible cabinet position, as well as other pertinent matters of Trump's White House transition. It was then followed by Baldwin as Trump welcoming Vice President-Elect Mike Pence, who went on to confide on the incoming President the free lecture he got from the cast of Hamilton.
President-elect Trump (Baldwin) also had several meetings with an army general and his campaign strategist, who then thanked him for making secret plans on defeating ISIS and promising to build a massive wall along the Mexican border. Trump then realized that he had no idea what ISIS is, so he hurriedly went to his laptop and Googled "What is ISIS?".
Alec Baldwin, who starred in NBC's now defunct sitcom "30 Rock", has last appeared in "Saturday Night Live" as Donald Trump with Kate McKinnon as Hilary Clinton in an episode prior to the elections. He then skipped the November 12 episode which has McKinnon's Hilary Clinton appearing in the opening playing a somber rendition of the late Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah". As of this writing, Baldwin has already appeared six out of the seven episodes which were so far aired for SNL's 42nd season.
