Alec Baldwin returned to “Saturday Night Live” for the first time since 2020 — but not for his famous Donald Trump impression.
He played Fox News’ Bret Baier on the Oct. 19 episode of the late night comedy series, spoofing the anchor’s recent interview with vice president Kamala Harris, who is being played by Maya Rudolph throughout Season 50.
“The pleasure is neither of ours,” Rudolph said as she sat down with Baldwin after being introduced.
As Baier, Baldwin began: “When I interviewed President Trump, my first question was, ‘What do you think is the most important issue facing our nation?’ So my first question for you is, ‘Give me the exact number of murderers you let loose in this country?’”
The two proceeded to bicker and speak over each other as Baier and Harris did in the real interview on Wednesday. “Will you let me finish?” Rudolph asked. “I’m asking you to,” said Baldwin. Rudolph shot back: “Well, then, you have to listen,” to which Baldwin responded: “Well, I can’t, because I’m talking.” Exasperated, Rudolph asks, “Well, when will you stop?” The bit ended with Baier saying, “Maybe when I go to bed.”
Throughout the sketch, Baldwin’s Baier continued to try stepping on the VP’s toes. When he accused Rudolph’s Harris of dissing Trump supporters — “Are they stupid? Are they morons? Slack-jaws? Stump-humpers? Cross-eyed meatheads?” she responded, “You’re trying to make me say something bad!”
“You’re very sexy when you’re angry, you know that?” Baldwin told her, prompting wide laughter from the audience when Rudolph replied, “Yes, I do.”
