'Saturday Night Live' Pokes Fun at Clinton, Trump One Last Time Before Election
Alec Baldwin, Kate McKinnon reprised their roles as the presidential hopefuls.
— -- Alec Baldwin and Kate McKinnon reprised their roles as presidential hopefuls Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton during the last episode of "Saturday Night Live" before Tuesday's general election.
Saturday's episode opened with a fictitious joint Trump-Clinton satellite interview with CNN anchor Erin Burnett, played by "SNL" cast member Cecily Strong.
Strong's Burnett says to McKinnon's Clinton of the FBI reviewing its investigation of her emails, "It's highly unusual for the FBI to make an announcement like this so close to the election."
The fictitious Democratic presidential candidate responds, "Oh, yah, You think? I mean, am I crazy, or does it seem like the FBI is trying to get Donald Trump elected president."
Says Baldwin's Trump: "No, no, that is crazy cuckoo. The FBI is not trying to help me. The FBI doesn't like me. I mean, what even is the FBI?"
A man wearing an FBI agent jacket then walks into the frame and says to Baldwin's Trump, "I'm going to grab some coffee you want something?"
Then, in apparent attempt to demonstrate Trump is closer to the FBI than he claims, the fictitious GOP presidential candidate kisses the agent on the lips and says, "No, I'm good sweetie."
McKinnon's Clinton is left dumbfounded with hew jaw dropped.
The "SNL" sketch also poked fun at Clinton's email scandal and Trump's apparent admiration of Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
"I need someone to release something on this guy," says McKinnon's Clinton. "I mean, I've got the whole Russian government releasing stuff on me because Russia loves Donald,and Donald loves Putin."
Baldwin's Trump shoots back, “She's a liar. I don’t know Putin, I’ve never met Putin. What is even a Putin?"
Putin, played by "SNL" regular Beck Bennett then walks into the frame and asks Baldwin's Trump, "I'm running to the store -- need anything?"
As he did with the FBI agent, Baldwin's Trump responds, "I'm good sweetie," followed up by a kiss."
The theme of Trump not owning up to purported relationships continued, when McKinnon's Clinton says, "He says he's not racist, but this week the KKK endorsed him for president."
Shoots back Baldwin's Trump: "No, no, no. I don't the know KKK. I mean, what even is a 'K?'"
Then an actor dressed as a Klansman comes into the frame and says, "Hey, I'm going out for a run. Want to come?"
And like he did before, Baldwin's Trump says, "No thanks, I'm good, sweetie," followed by a kiss on the lips.
The sketch also poked fun at Trump's use of Twitter.
"These e-mails are very bad for you, Hillary," Baldwin’s Trump said. "That's why I never, ever use e-mail. It's too risky. Instead I use a very private, very secure site where one can write whatever they want to and no one will read it. It’s called Twitter."
"Mr. Trump, everyone can see your tweets," Strong’s Burnett interjected.
“Really?" asks Baldwin's Trump. "And I’m still in this thing? America, you must really hate this lady."
