So is Alec Baldwin going to keep doing the Trump impressions for the rest of the season or will they have a cast member take over?
Depends on when Trump orders his arrest.
Besides, won’t Trump take SNL off the air?
I seem to recall Baldwin saying he would move to Canada if Bush was reelected. He’s still fucking here?
Well, at least one American will be able to find work.
I say let Kenan do it. Not with a wig or any attempt at impression. Just Kenan in a suit.
Never mention it in a sketch. No, “…nice tan, Mr. President.” Never address any public outcry.
Just Kenan. He’s Trump now. I think it’d be wonderfully passive aggressive.

Live from Toronto…it’s Saturday night live!It’s hard to keep track of the left wingers who said they would (or go to Jupiter as Cher promised).
Of course Baldwin is the one who during the Clinton impeachment hearings said Congressman Henry Hyde and his family should be murdered. So the network The gives us Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddox will be happy to give scum like him a job.
That first sentence was basically what I came here to say. Except you didn’t mention the internment camp he’ll be thrown into.
He never actually said that. A German newspaper claimed his wife (Kim Bassinger) said they’d both leave the country if Bush won, but the couple denied ever even speaking to the paper.
I hope he does. I haven’t enjoyed any SNL clips in 20+ years, but him as Trump was awesome.
I don’t know, man. It was one thing when we were just biding our time with jokes until Trump was relegated to the septic tank of history. I think I’m all out of laughs where he’s concerned.

Baldwin has said he wants to take a break after the election and spend time with his family. And he’ll want to resume his movie career. The easiest thing to do would be to have Darrell Hammond play Trump, as he has before, and he is readily available as the show’s announcer.
I remember hearing him talk about it–maybe on his podcast? IIRC - Fox News and other cable shows would invite him on to be the “Liberal voice” and he’d say “Only if you admit I never actually said that Canada thing” and the reply would be “You know we can’t do that.”
I think Baldwin would be down to do an occasional appearance–like Fey with Sarah Palin.
You’re probably right, but I could swear I heard him say that to Jon Stewart on* The Daily Show.

Yeah, but I think we could all use a break from Trump after the election anyways. Let’s have an SNL where we pretend he doesn’t exist.
That was one of the things I was so looking forward to–not hearing about the guy on every comedy show for a while. Give it to us for a bit, please?
Yep, he’s still here just like every other celeb who said they’d move away if Trump were elected. The excuse that seems to be most face-saving now is that they’ve decided it’s more ‘important’ to stay here and fight.
I imagine they came to be of this belief after having had their opinions count so highly in the election itself.
Why would he do that? SNL gave him his greatest TV moment to date.
Ahem. Post #9.
Sure, that seems to take care of Baldwin. Now, how about Miley (“I don’t say things I don’t mean”) Cyrus, Chelsea Handler, Lena Dunham, Cher and all the other nitwits currently who have such an inflated idea of their own importance that they think they can influence votes by threatening to move away, and who, upon finding out that people don’t put that much stock in what they have to say anyway, suddenly (and paradoxically, given that their opinions didn’t count for much anyway) decide it’s more “important” for them to stay and fight.
