The actor will return to play President-elect Trump on "Saturday Night Live" for the first time since the election, according to a source close to the show. Last week's episode of "SNL" included many memorable moments including Kate McKinnon opening the show dressed as Hillary Clinton playing a somber performance of "Hallelujah" and a poignant opening monologue from host Dave Chappelle.
Alec Baldwin says NBC execs killed any attempt by "SNL" to tell viewers who to vote for, following criticism of Saturday's opening, which appeared to mourn Hillary Clinton 's loss. The actor took to Twitter after Time reporter Daniel D'Addario wrote an article about this week's episode , which started with a tearful Kate McKinnon dressed as Hillary Clinton singing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," then stating, "I'm not giving up, and neither should you."
"Saturday Night Live" broke from its usually funny take on the presidential election with its first post-election episode this past weekend. Instead of a sketch, Kate McKinnon dressed in character as Hillary Clinton and sang Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" while playing a piano to open Saturday's episode.
If you tuned into last night's SNL expecting to see a sketch about Donald Trump's astonishing win, that's not what you got. Instead, you got Kate McKinnon in her Hillary Clinton duds, singing the late Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" and crying.
In its first episode since Trump's election victory, McKinnon sat down at the piano to pay tribute to the late singer-songwriter. Saturday Night Live addressed Donald Trump's new role as president-elect in its own way in its first episode since election night.
