"Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" is the next TV show to take on Donald Trump. The long-running series will do an episode inspired by the Republican nominee's recent scandal involving his derogatory remarks about women in the past.

In the episode titled "Unstoppable" that will air Wednesday, October 26, Gary Cole ("Veep") will guest star as a politician whose campaign goes haywire when several women go public with damaging accusations. Other guest stars for the episode include Currie Graham, Meredith Travers, Bianca Amato and returning guest Peter Gallagher.

The announcement of the Trump-inspired episode comes just a few days after a tape from Trump's lewd conversation with Billy Bush in 2005 surfaced. The real-estate tycoon was also accused of demonstrating sexist behavior when filming "The Apprentice".
