Thanks, Rhiannon! DesertRat Sep 2019 #1

I was really hoping for Alec Baldwin and Kate McKinnon as Rudy, too! Rhiannon12866 Sep 2019 #2

Seeing Baldwin shocked me, since he said he was done with the role Dennis Donovan Sep 2019 #13

More, please! calimary Sep 2019 #3

You're right, Trump apparently hates this! Rhiannon12866 Sep 2019 #4

++++ Somehow, I don't think Alec is going to be able to stick with his pledge hlthe2b Sep 2019 #5

That's the thing, I also heard that he didn't want to do this anymore Rhiannon12866 Sep 2019 #6

Kate is phenomenally good no matter who she is portraying. SNL is so lucky to have them both. hlthe2b Sep 2019 #7

Oh, I know! She can impersonate anybody! Rhiannon12866 Sep 2019 #8

She's definitely in my personal pantheon of GREAT SNL players Dennis Donovan Sep 2019 #12

Ha! That was pretty awesome! I figured Alec Baldwin... WePurrsevere Sep 2019 #9

Kick - glad to see Baldwin reneged on his vow to never play Trump again! Dennis Donovan Sep 2019 #11

Thank you Rhiannon! I'm so glad you recorded this! smirkymonkey Sep 2019 #14

Oh, I hope that you had a great time! Rhiannon12866 Sep 2019 #15

Thank you! It was interesting, nice in a way, but it was difficult for an introvert like me to smirkymonkey Sep 2019 #16

I know what you mean, I was away last month Rhiannon12866 Sep 2019 #17
