AceShowbiz - "Saturday Night Live" has featured so many political impressions particularly since the presidential election. Following Alec Baldwin's portrayal of Donald Trump and Melissa McCarthy's cameo as Sean Spicer, now Christine Baranski offers to play Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.
"It would seem somewhat logical - we have that strong jawline, don't we?" the Emmy-winning actress told Vanity Fair during an interview at the premiere of "The Good Wife" spin-off "The Good Fight". Baranski and DeVos do have an uncanny resemblance. Both the actress and the politician have blue eyes, short blonde hair and indeed, the aforementioned jawline.
Baranski continued, "I can play people with whom I drastically disagree." The actress added, "The 'SNL' sketches have been unbelievable all through the election, and the post-election. So yeah, we could have a revolving door of people playing the cabinet members and all."
Since McCarthy's appearance as the White House press secretary on the sketch comedy series, several actors have expressed their willingness to join the fun by playing other characters under Trump's regime. Rosie O'Donnell has previously offered to portray Chief Strategist Steve Bannon while Billy Baldwin has said that he can play the president's 33-year-old son Eric Trump.
"Saturday Night Live" returns on February 11 on NBC. The sketch comedy series will be hosted by Alec Baldwin. Joining the Emmy-winning actor will be Ed Sheeran, who will be appearing on the show as the musical guest.
