Alec Baldwin showed up again on the latest episode of “Saturday Night Live,” but not in his previous capacity impersonating former US President Donald Trump. This time, Baldwin played FOX News anchor Bret Baier in the cold open, who quizzed Maya Rudolph as Vice President Kamala Harris in a spoof of their interview that aired on the network last week. While Baldwin has famously been known to appear on “SNL” as Trump in seasons past, “SNL” cast member James Austin Johnson has more recently been portraying the former president, despite speculation that Baldwin would return this season ahead of the election. Throughout “SNL’s” FOX News interview spoof, Baldwin as Baier and Rudolph as Harris discussed policy topics including immigration and abortion. When it came to immigration, Rudolph as Harris spoke of all of the cartels she said she took down, joking, “If I was in ‘Breaking Bad,’ it would’ve ended in three episodes.” Baldwin as Baier incessantly interrupted Rudolph as Harris throughout the interview. At another point, he made fun of her for only answering questions because she’s “just looking for a viral moment” – with Rudolph then turning to a different camera to create faux TikTok clips.
