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, its 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, Baldwins beloved take on Trump.
Last weekend produced a particularly relevant episode, as Melissa McCarthys 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 shows official channel, just a few million short of its most popular.
But in the wake of McCarthys 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 Trumps top aides.

(8,311 posts)... a skit of her confusing Alec Baldwin's wig as an adoptable animal and getting to plug animal rescue charities MIGHT get her to do it.

But Baldwin is already camped out under his skin
It would be a huge mistake to replace him
