Alec Baldwin Plays Fox News Anchor on ‘SNL’ Cold Open – NBC Los Angeles

Alec Baldwin returned to “Saturday Night Live” with another cold open in his long and memorable career on “SNL.”

This time, however, he played not former President Donald Trump, but rather Fox News host Bret Baier, who spoofed his interview with Vice President Kamala Harris this week.

Baldwin as Baier, interviewing Harris as Maya Rudolph, began by asking the vice president “how many murderers” she had allowed into the country.

“Bret, I’m glad you brought up immigration-” Rudolph as Harris was then intercepted by Baldwin as Baier, who responded with “A million? Two million?” followed.

The two argued about immigration in front of Rudolph, as Harris concluded that she was the only contestant to have prosecuted Mexican drug cartels and that “if she had been on ‘Breaking Bad,’ it would have ended in three episodes.” .”

The two then addressed the moment in the real-life interview when Baier showed Harris a clip about Trump’s “enemy within” comment, which he further expanded on in a Fox News town hall with Fox News’ Harris Faulkner.

“I always say we have two enemies,” Trump said in real life, adding: “We have the enemy from without, and then we have the enemy from within, and the enemy from within is, in my opinion, more dangerous than China. “, Russia and all these countries.”

The clip that Baier showed Harris in the interview was, the host later said, a mistake that didn’t give Trump the full answer by doubling down on his “enemy within” comments.

In the “SNL” sketch, James Austin Johnson reprises his role as a former president.

“They said I was threatening. That’s not true. “I would never threaten anything except maybe violence,” Johnson said, as Trump said.

“I was investigated more than Alfonse Capone, who is known to have done nothing wrong,” he added.

Dana Carvey also returned to play President Joe Biden, appearing in press conference clips shown to Rudolph as Harris. What Baldwin as Baier took out of context.

“Everything she touches is destroyed, no joke. Watch out for Florida,” Carvey said Biden said in a clip.

Rudolph, as Harris, then clarified that he was talking about Hurricane Milton and not her possible presidency.

Billie Eilish also appeared as a musical guest on “SNL” and Michael Keaton hosted.
