Alec Baldwin returned to the cold open of Saturday Night Live, but not as President-elect Donald Trump – who he impersonated throughout much of Trumps first term – and instead the new nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Kennedy, who is the nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, ran for president as an independent this election cycle before dropping out and endorsing Trump.
The vaccine skeptic has previously said that he once dumped a dead bear in Central Park and that a parasitic worm infected his brain.
I care deeply about the womens right to choose, the right to choose to give her child polio, Baldwin as Kennedy said.
Alright, I gotta go, I got a dead dolphin in my car, Baldwin as Kennedy added. I think I might saw it in half and dump it in Central Park.
Before Baldwin as Kennedy made his appearance, the SNL cold open had cast member James Austin Johnson return as Trump and SNL legend Dana Carvey return as President Joe Biden. The two sat in the Oval Office and discussed the transition.
Ugh, I forgot how boring president is, Johnson as Trump said. Love running, hate being.
Cmon lets be real man, this place is great, Carvey as Biden responded. I have so many wonderful memories here. Dr. Jill hosting foreign leaders. My dog attacking every single one. I brought my party together so much they teamed up and kicked me out. Wait a minute, maybe I hate it here too. No joke.
Johnson as Trump went on to talk about his cabinet, which he described as the best people.
Weve got Elon and Matt Gaetz, thats an alien versus predator, Johnson as Trump said. Weve got Kristi Noem and RFK Jr., theyre killing the dogs, theyre killing the bears. And Melania will be working remotely from divorce.
The host and musical guest of this weeks SNL was musician Charli xcx, who is behind the viral social media brat trend.
For those of you who recognize me, you might know me from my album, Brat, Charli xcx said during the shows monologue. But, dont worry if you dont, there is nothing wrong with being straight.
