Alec Baldwin Reprises His Role as President Donald Trump on SNL

Saturday Night Live kicked off their 45th season by taking aim at the whistleblower scandal in their cold open sketch. 

Alec Baldwin reprised his role as President Donald Trump, making a call from the Oval Office to Rudy Giulliani, played by Kate McKinnon, revealing he is facing an impeachment inquiry.

Baldwin's Trump tells Giulliani the impeachment was 'the greatest presidential harassment of all time — I'm like the president of harassment.'

McKinnon's Giulliani urged the president to loosen up, telling him that no one would be able to work out their alleged ties with Ukraine - 'or how we tried to cover up those side dealings. Or how we plan to cover up the cover-up.'

Interrupting the call was William Barr, played by Aidy Bryant, assuring Trump not to worry because he assigned his 'top guy' on the job, but when a three way phone call happened it was just Giulliani again. 

Trump decided to call 'the perfect stooge' - non other than his Vice President Mike Pence played by Beck Bennet. 

Bennet-Pence wants nothing to do with the scandal, saying: 'But you're the one who broke the law!'

'Don't drag me into your mess.' 

The phone call switches again to bring in his sons Don Jr. played by Mikey Day and Eric played by Alex Moffat. 

'I can't believe the lame-stream media is focused on you and not the corruption of Joe Biden's so,' Don Jr. says. 

Baldwin-Trump cuts right to business. 

'Did you take care of that thing in Russia?' 

Don Jr. answers, knowingly: 'What thing in Russia?'

'The treason!', Eric shouts unable to contain himself. 

Kim Jong-un, played by SNL newcomer Bowen Yang, makes an appearance as the next person on Trump-Baldwin's call list.  

'Do you have a big ocean in your country? OK, send whistleblower to the bottom of there Trump,' was Jong-un's solution.  

Next, Trump decides he needs to check in on his 'urbans'.

But he's disappointed when Kanye West, played by Chris Redd, tells him: 'I don't think we can be fam no more fam.'

'This whole impeachment thing is hurting our brand,' Kenan Thompson adds, as Don King. 

'I need my urbans!' Trump interjected. 'Who do you need out of jail this time? that little girl Terikyi 69?,' he said.  

At his wit's end, Trump makes a final call to Liev Schreiber - asking to speak to Ray Donovan, 'the fixer'.

'I told you Mr. President, Ray Donovan is a fictional character,' the Showtime star told Baldwin. 'I'm Liev Schreiber, the actor.'  

Trump then asked if Schreiber can connect him to movie character John Wick, before Schreiber has to explain that he too, is a fictional character.

'What about Liam Neeson,' Trump finally asks.

'Oh,' Schreiber says, 'actually Liam might do it.'
