Alec Baldwin was back on "Saturday Night Live" on November 19. He reprised his role as Donald Trump, now the President-elect of the United States. In a "Cold Open" segment featuring a surprise cameo from Jason Sudeikis as Mitt Romney, he was preparing to take over the White House following the November 8 election.
At one point, Baldwin's Trump met with Mike Pence and asked about his VP's visit to "Hamilton" show. "It was good. I got a free lecture," Pence replied, referring to the cast's message of inclusion they read to him on stage at the end of the stage play. While the real Donald Trump was angry and demanded apology from the cast, the SNL version of Trump quipped, "You're the reason I'm never going to get impeached."
During the sketch, Baldwin's Trump also poked fun at his campaign promises. He was in the state of panic when people were looking forward to his "secret plan" for ISIS and his plan to build a wall on Mexican border. He was also quick to scrap his plans to deport all immigrants, replace Obamacare and put his rival Hillary Clinton in jail.
"SNL" was also celebrating Thanksgiving. Former "SNL" star Kristen Wiig embraced the holiday spirit by singing a song about the "first Thanksgiving" during her monologue. In a sketch later, the show dished out some Thanksgiving advice.
