However, after it was Alec Baldwin who opened the show, reprising his impression of President-Elect Donald Trump. Not amusing, cast is awful, always a complete hit job. On the latest SNL episode, Baldwin staged a parody of Trump’s press conference last week, which was his first as president-elect.

The golden shower jokes sort of took over the sketch, as Baldwin’s Trump calls on reporters and each one eventually devolves into giggling about the alleged sex act.
Real-life Trump has also categorically denied the claims, as well as reports that his campaign communicated and colluded with the Russian government. “This is really happening”, Baldwin’s Trump began. “Then two months later Mike Pence will become the 46th”, he joked. He then touted the celebrities attending his inauguration, including Angelina Jolie, Ryan Gosling and Jennifer Lawrence – all of whom are being provided by Madame Tussauds.
Asked by a reporter, played by cast member Sasheer Zamata, how he planned to repeal and replace Obamacare, Baldwin’s Trump said, “I actually do have a replacement plan, okay? And it wasn’t as cool as it sounds”.
He said, “Guys, no, no, I do NOT want to talk about the pee pee”. “I do not want to talk about the pee-pee”.
Do YOU think the President-elect will EVER stop tweeting about sketch comedy? He also added, “Because I’m a major wiz at jobs”. “We’re all going to die”, Baldwin’s Trump said.
But “SNL’s” mock press corps refused to drop their questions about the document’s allegations, despite Trump’s palpable excitement about Three Doors Down agreeing to play his inauguration.
Trump faltered: ‘I mean, maybe’.
The sketch later zoned in on Russian Federation as Trump faced questions from a reporter about why he wouldn’t say on the record that the Kremlin was behind the hacking. “OK, It was Meryl Streep”.
After the cold open, host Felicity Jones, the star of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, got some advice from SNL alum Tina Fey about how to deal with backlash from Trump, who has been known to give the show some bad reviews.

Just days ahead of his inauguration, the show poked fun at Trump’s “pee pee moment” – the meme-launching dossier that alleged Moscow had compromising details of the United States president-elect paying Russian sex workers to urinate on a hotel bed once frequented by the Obamas.
