Alec Baldwin Claims His Upcoming SNL Gig Will Be A Big Deal [View all]
Alec Baldwin will host “Saturday Night Live” for a record 17th time this weekend. As the actor tells the camera (and America) in a new promotional clip for the gig, “Oh, it’s a big deal.”
Despite what President Donald Trump has claimed in recent tweets, the sketch comedy show is enjoying its most-watched season in 22 years. Its renewed relevance is largely due to the 2016 election and, of course, Baldwin’s beloved take on Trump.
Last weekend produced a particularly relevant episode, as Melissa McCarthy’s impersonation of White House press secretary Sean Spicer quickly became one of the most viral sketches the show has seen in a while. It earned nearly 20 million views on YouTube in less than one week ― making it the sixth most-watched clip on the show’s official channel, just a few million short of its most popular.
But in the wake of McCarthy’s success, a report surfaced indicating Trump was upset that a woman had portrayed his male press secretary. So The Huffington Post took the liberty to imagine which female comedians might play the rest of Trump’s top aides.
