I think we’ll be watching Alec Baldwin play Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live for a long, long, long time. Baldwin just laid out the condition under which he would stop playing the role and it’s a condition we know Trump will not agree to.
Too much to hide!
Donald Trump told the world that he tried watching Saturday Night Live AGAIN, but couldn’t, “Unwatchable!” Trump said, “Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can’t get any worse. Sad”
Baldwin happily replied; – “Release you tax returns and I’ll stop”
Release your tax returns and I’ll stop.

Saturday Night Live took on Donald Trump’s Twitter account activities on Saturday and Alec Baldwin did a very skilful job as Russia’s President-elect, Donald Trump. The play was based on Trump’s apparent addictive use of Twitter, and before the show was over, Trump jumped on Twitter to tweet his disapproval.
“Just tried watching Saturday Night Live” Trump said, “- unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can’t get any worse. Sad”
Something in this play struck me. While everyone was shocked about the results, Chris and Chappelle apparently knew and expected America to elect someone who got the support of racists like the KKK and White Supremacists.
Yes, we elected the first black president eight years ago then re-elected him again four years ago, but based on this play, and I’m seeing some truths in it, we have not come that far in race relations in this country.

Saturday Night Live has taken on many elections and candidates in the past, but, with this very special presidential election coming up in a few weeks, the cast of Saturday Night Live has found a gem in its impersonation of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
In this weeks episode, SNL took on the second presidential debate. SNL examined Trump’s sexual exploits and him ‘stalking’ his opponent, and Hillary’s almost robotic style. So good was Trump’s impression that the actual Republican candidate demanded an apology from the show and requested the show ends its long run.
“Watched Saturday Night Live hit job on me,” Trump tweeted. “Time to retire the boring and unfunny show. Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks. Media rigging election!”
With that said, let’s watch SNL’s masterful job on these presidential candidates.

The Saturday Night Live video below shows Donald Trump and Chris Christie going through the rigorous process of choosing a running-mate. And fittingly, in accordance with all his other nonsensical “policies,” Donald Trump suggested George Zimmerman – the Florida man who followed a black, unarmed teenager, picked a fight with that teenager then murdered the teen – for his running mate.
“How about a guy from a swing state, Florida,” Christie suggested. “He’s half-Hispanic, with a proven record for standing up for himself.”
“George Zimmerman,” Trump blurted out.
“No!” Christie immediately replied. “No no no no no no. Marco Rubio.”
“Oh, little Marco,” Trump said. “I can’t ask him to be V.P. until his parents sign the release form.”

“Saturday Night Live” opened its latest show with election coverage from CNN’s “election center,” where “bona fide hunk” host Jake Tapper, played by cast member Beck Bennett, looked back at the “crazy week in politics.”
Highlights included the Super Tuesday press conference of GOP front-runner Donald Trump, played by Darrell Hammond.
“What a great, great night. I really am running the best campaign, aren’t I? The media is saying they haven’t seen anything like this, not since Germany in the 1930s,” Hammond says.
“I mean everyone loves me: racists, ugly racists, people who didn’t know they were racists.”
Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who awkwardly stood behind Trump during the news conference, is not spared.
“Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Please, sir, may I have another,” Bobby Moynihan, portraying Christie, says after being insulted.

Tina Fey returned to Saturday Night Live last weekend because, well, no one else does Sarah Palin like she does. And as expected, Tina’s mannerism and speech patterns were spot on. But I was a little disappointed, because Tina’s speech itself was more understandable and made a lot more sense than the real deal, Sarah Palin.
If you are going to impersonate Palin, then what you say cannot make any sense, whatsoever. Like Fey said, “We’ve seen our own children targeted by the police for no reason other than they committed some crimes.” A clear reference to Palin’s son, Track, who was arrested for domestic abuse. “We turn on the news every morning and are shocked to see we’re not even on it, because we’ve been replaced by immigrants like Geraldo Rivera.”
And this. “They say Trump and his trumpeters are right-wingin’, bitter-clingin’, proud of clingers of our guns. But he can kick ISIS ass, because he commands fire.”
Wait a second. That sounds almost exactly like what the real deal Sarah Palin said this week when she endorsed Trump. In that case, forget what I said above. Tina Fay’s impression, as always, was on the money!

The casts of Saturday Night Live reenacted some of the stories of Ben Carson from his teenage years. The stories came from Carson’s own writings, writings that have dominated the news over the last few weeks.
In the reenactment, we see a young Ben Carson getting so angry, so mad that he tried to kill a man with a knife only to see the man still standing, saved by his belt buckle. And the story about a young Ben Carson going after his mother with a hammer? Yea, that too was reenacted by the talented cast at SNL.
Watch.
The eloquent and moving tribute was simple, yet profound. It happened at the beginning of the show and came from cast-member, Cecily Strong.
“Paris is the City of Light,” she said, “and here in New York City, we know that light will never go out. Our love and support is with everyone there tonight. We stand with you.” She then said the same thing in French before issuing the usual, “And now, live from New York, it’s Saturday Night Live!”

So after it was all said and done, after all the protests and promises to stop watching SNL because of Donald Trump’s appearance, Donald Trump made his hosting appearance last night and was called a “racist” during the show.
Yes, the heckler was Larry David, the man who masterfully played Bernie Sanders on a previous episode of SNL, and although his heckling was most likely scripted and a part of the show, some who protested Trump’s appearance argued that Trump is in fact, a racist, especially after his various comments about Mexicans and Latinos.

There is a growing backlash to NBC and Saturday Night Live’s decision to allow Republican presidential candidate and accused “racist”, Donald Trump, to host this week’s episode of Saturday Night Live.
The petitions delivered to 30 Rockefeller Plaza, home of NBC and “Saturday Night Live,” marked the latest attempts to dissuade the network from allowing the Republican presidential hopeful to host the show, with the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda earlier asking that NBC reconsider the decision.
“There’s mounting evidence that Donald Trump’s racist demagoguery is resulting in real-world violence and physical and verbal intimidation,” Mushed Zaheed, deputy political director of Credo Action, one of the participating groups, said in a statement.
In advance of the show, NBC released promotional spots featuring Trump that included one in which he refers to a Republican opponent, Ben Carson, as “a complete and total loser.”
Among the growing pressure, entertainer John Leguizamo has vowed never to watch the program again if Trump is featured on Saturday’s show.
