The Return Of Alec Baldwin As Trump to Fight Aliens in 'SNL' Cold Open


Alec Baldwin brought back his now infamous President Donald Trump impression to Studio 8H. 
In the midst of an alien invasion in the cold open for Saturday Night Live, a group of armed service men and women gathered on the eve of battle only to be giving an inspirational speech from Baldwin's President Trump.
"The aliens are laughing at us," Baldwin said. "They're killing us and laughing at us."
He went on to tell them his plan: "Here's what we're going to do, we're going to bring coal back. You won't believe how much coal we're going to have. You'll say I never knew there could be so much coal."
When told that the aliens had just vaporized the entire state of California, Baldwin responded, "So I won the popular vote?"
Told everyone in California is dead, Baldwin's Trump seemed to only care about one man: Arnold Schwarzenegger, who he had recently been feuding with on Twitter.  



"The aliens are laughing at us and they're killing us. Mr. President! We have to do something!"

Mr. President:
As the explosions start coming down and the aliens came closer, Baldwin's Trump insisted, "They've been coming here for hundreds of years." He then pointed at cast member Lesley Jones and said "There's one."
The aliens, green of skin and carrying huge guns, finally arrived only to have Baldwin's Trump immediately abdicate command to Kenan Thompson's general character.
Baldwin was absent on last week's episode, when Oscar-winning actress Octavia Spencer served as host. His last appearance on SNL was a Feb. 11 hosting stint. 








How Much Alec Baldwin Gets Paid To Act Like Donald Trump On SNL Revealed


Alec Baldwin has revealed how much he gets paid for his iconic Donald Trump impersonation on Saturday Night Live.💜
The 58-year-old actor told The New York Times that SNL shells out $1,400 every time he appears on the comedy show as the controversial president-elect.







Not only has his hilarious and accurate SNL impersonation become popular among Trump’s critics in the public, Baldwin has also drawn a reaction from the man himself.
According to Donald Trump, who isn’t one to mince insults, SNL is “totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can’t get any worse.” Baldwin took it in stride.
“Release your tax returns and I’ll stop,” he tweeted back.
Alec has found the key to a spot-on impersonation every time.
“I see a guy who seems to pause and dig for the more precise and better language he wants to use, and never finds it. It’s the same dish — it’s a grilled-cheese sandwich rhetorically over and over again,” Baldwin told The Hollywood Reporter.
Many did point out that his impersonation may have humanized Trump enough to help him win the election, and Baldwin does recognize that. However, he thinks that now is also the time to turn it up a notch.
“I think that now that he is the president, we have an obligation — as we would if it was him or her — to dial it up as much as we can,” he said.
Baldwin does plan to continue his Trump impersonation, although they’ll be more sporadic now that he has two upcoming films.








Alec Baldwin Promise To Stop 'Unwatchable' SNL If Trump Can Release His Taxes Return


Actor Alec Baldwin responded to a late-night tweet by President-elect Donald Trump that criticized the player's latest performance on Saturday Night Live, asking that the New York businessman release his tax returns if he wanted some comic relief.





This week, Baldwin-as-Trump repeatedly interrupted his latest national security briefing by announcing each time he retweeted a random citizen, apparently basing the act off real retweets Trump made while on the campaign trail.
'Aides' played by Kenan Thompson and Alex Moffat were seen attempting to focus the 'president-elect' on foreign intelligence, while Kate McKinnon's 'Kellyanne Conway' sat beside 'Trump', visibly and verbally exasperated at each interruption.
A short time after the skit ended, the real Trump slammed Baldwin's act as "unwatchable":
Just tried watching Saturday Night Live - unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can't get any worse. Sad

Baldwin later responded on his foundation's Twitter feed, demanding his fellow New Yorker release his tax returns if he wanted to see the actor take off his blond wig and makeup for good.


Just tried watching Saturday Night Live - unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can't get any worse. Sad


The New York Daily News reported that one of the voters Trump (and Baldwin) had retweeted recognized his message during the show and agreed with the president-elect that Baldwin's skit was indeed "unfunny".

Just saw the intro that @nbcsnl mentioned me in - totally unfunny, and biased -- Sad! The @AlecBaldwin impersonation is incredibly stale.


Trump has not yet responded to Baldwin's offer.

Alec Baldwin Refuses To Back Down From Trump's SNL Backlash


Instant reaction! Donald Trump tweeted on Sunday, December 4, that Alec Baldwin’s Saturday Night Live impersonation of him was terrible — less than 15 minutes after the show ended.





“Just tried watching Saturday Night Live - unwatchable!” the 70-year-old President-elect tweeted. “Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can’t get any worse. Sad.”
Baldwin, 58, wasn’t about to let Trump have the last word, however, and responded shortly afterward with his own clap back. “… @realDonaldTrump Release your tax returns and I’ll stop. Ha,” he wrote.

On the Saturday, December 3, episode of the sketch comedy show, the actor once again reprised his much-lauded impersonation of the real estate mogul in the show’s cold open. In it, he and adviser Kellyanne Conway (Kate McKinnon) are seated at a desk in Trump Tower, where two suits are trying to brief Trump on Syria.
The President-elect, however, keeps getting distracted by his phone, retweeting random people from all over the country, including Seth, a 16-year-old high school student.
“I just retweeted the best tweet,” he told McKinnon-as-Conway. “I mean, wow, what a great, smart tweet. This could not wait. It was from a young man named Seth. He’s 16. He’s in high school. And I really did retweet him. Seriously. This is real.”


McKinnon’s Conway tries to explain Trump’s constant tweeting, but her efforts fall flat.
“You see, there is a reason actually that Donald tweets so much,” she says. “He does it to distract the media from his business conflicts and all the scary people in his cabinet.”
“Actually, that’s not why I do it,” Baldwin’s Trump responds. “I do it because my brain is bad.”
Then, each time Baldwin-as-Trump tries to refocus on the task at hand, he gets sidetracked by yet another tweet that he feels the urge to retweet. At one point, he tells McKinnon’s Conway that he really will bunker down so that he can “build that swamp.”
“Don’t you mean drain the swamp and build the wall?” McKinnon’s Conway asks, startled. “No, that’s too many things. Just smoosh them together,” Baldwin’s Trump replies.
