Alec Baldwin is returning to SNL as a Fox News Host

IndieWire

Spoofing the VP Harris interview on Fox News earlier this week, Baldwin played host Bret Baier against Maya Rudolph’s Kamala and brought the house down with his spot-on skewering of the Republican pundit.
“Look, he can dance all he wants to YMCA or to any other song he doesn’t realize is a gay anthem,” said Rudolph as the VP.
“I have watched Joe Biden from the Oval Office to the Situation Room, and Joe Biden is Joe-bright.
But my presidency will basically be Joe-billion times better.” Watch the full cold open below.
“Saturday Night Live” returns November 2 with host John Mulaney and musical guest Chappell Roan.

Even though Michael Keaton, star of “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” and “Goodrich,” hosted last night’s episode with musical guest Billie Eilish, Alec Baldwin, a fan of “Saturday Night Live,” stole the show from the very beginning. Baldwin brought the house down with his accurate satire of the Republican pundit, VP Harris, during a Fox News interview earlier this week, spoofing the interview with Harris and Maya Rudolph as host Bret Baier. Baldwin expertly captured Baier’s signature chauvinism, from his uncanny valley appearance to his aggressive, interruptive interview style, adding even more star power to the already glittering “SNL 50.”. “.

As Baier introduced Baldwin and Rudolph in the skit, “Now, 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.”. “.

Throughout the cold open, there was a lot of this kind of misdirection, particularly when they cut to various clips of James Austin Johnson’s portrayal of Trump, babbling in town hall interviews and dancing at rallies to music that has strong homoerotic undertones, as Harris notes.

As the vice president, Rudolph remarked, “Look, he can dance all he wants to YMCA or to any other song he doesn’t realize is a gay anthem.”. “Do you see how this election is all about contrast?”. Beyoncé, joy, and restrooms can be found at my rallies. Many elderly people had to walk six miles through the desert to get back to their cars after one of his rallies, which resembled an Old Testament Fyre Festival, because he refused to pay for the buses. “.

Dana Carvey played President Joe Biden in the sketch as well. While Biden is being shown inadvertently talking about Hurricane Milton and “Joker: Folie à Deux” in order to support Kamala in her presidential campaign, Vice President Harris quickly clarifies her admiration for Biden while also putting herself in a different position.

“I’ve observed Joe Biden in both the Situation Room and the Oval Office, and he is incredibly intelligent.”. He is exceptionally intelligent. However, my administration will be a billion times better than Joe’s. “.

Look down at the full cold open.

With musical guest Chappell Roan and host John Mulaney, “Saturday Night Live” will return on November 2.
