Holy cow, Trump actually accomplished something! He made SNL relevant again!

It would be funny if this weren't deeply concerning dictatorial behavior. Your show must be retired if you make fun of the Drumpf? So much for the Constitution...

Baldwin's Trump is as good as Fey's Palin.

The problem for the Saturday Night Live cast: Donald Trump knows most--if not all--of the cast on almost a first-name basis. As such I wouldn't be surprised if he shows up in person and does a bit of self-deprecating humor on a live show within the next couple weeks. I do follow some of the early group and guest stars on twitter but can't imagine letting it impact my vote.

‘SNL’ Stars Defend Donald Trump: ‘He’s Probably Harder Working Than You’

“Saturday Night Live” Weekend Update co-hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che defended Donald Trump when they had a chance to mock him, with Jost calling the GOP nominee “super smart” and saying, “He’s probably harder working than you.”

If Don the Con doesn't like SNL doing impressions of him, he's going to have a stressful few years ahead of him if he becomes president - they always mock the president. And the worse a job the president does, the more the president gets mocked. So Trump can look forward to four years of being mocked ridiculously. If he wins that is. Maybe even if he loses - I heard they signed on Baldwin for a multi-year contract to impersonate Chump.

Part of being a public person is learning to deal with satire. For all the smarts this guy is supposed to have, seems he can't take a joke? A sense of humor is a sign of intelligence, isn't it?

I wonder how long it will be before he tries to get lese majeste laws like Thailand for the US President, if elected.

“Time to retire the boring and unfunny show”

Don't give up now, Donald. Thousands await the World's Winningest Winner snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. Bigly.

Besides, the rest of us have panic-bought popcorn.

I can't watch topical humor anymore. Openings for Letterman, Leno, etc. just bored me. Or was it something else that affected me? So now, I watch zero debates and zero follow up coverage. I'll read about it or poke around here or the Guardian news. Sky News was fun till my early version IPad couldn't run it's newer interface anymore. There's omething very corporate and manipulative about these candidates, and I want none of that energy in my head. By the way, what's in every Trump hotel room? Or rather, what's available in every Trump hotel room? No, not in the fridge. Now.......you really think that Trump hasn't invested in that business?

And if Clinton wins, for SNL she'll be the gift that keeps on giving until she shuts it down.

This is interesting:

Serrano: Awwww.... on a thread about Trump being unable to handle a comedy show sketch, you come on again with the lonely YouTube posts. Very sad, Serrano. Sadder still is that you cut and paste even your own comments on the YouTube article, validating that it's just more of the same, sad deflection.

How are those election predictions coming, Serrano? Don't forget who you said will win, and what you said about the other person's chances. But keep on posting those clips no one watches, amigo!

Baldwin't impersonation was funny, and spot on in so many ways.

These past several months have been mondo bizarro. I can't figure out who's crazier, Trump or the people supporting him.

Har, Serrano to the rescue with an all caps super double urgent video about MEIDA BIAS! Must be legit with the grade school spelling mistake.

'Trumplethinskin'. Don't let this narcissistic egomaniac anywhere near the Nike button.

NCIS Reruns: "I can't figure out who's crazier, Trump or the people supporting him."

Tough one. They're both about the same, in terms of being outright stupid. Trump is definitely more self-absorbed, as the supporters are willing to sell their grandmas and their own tails in order to serve. The supporters are definitely more brainwashed -- they'll eat a piling heap of dung if Trump tells them to, then somehow say it's proof of a "rigged election", so in that respect I think Trump is crazier in terms of perhaps knowing a little better -- the supporters are just blank slates he passes the nuttiness onto and they lap up.

But hey, this is all just a conspiracy, after all.

smith: "But keep on posting those clips no one watches, amigo!"

First of all, I'm not your amigo, and second, those Youtube clips you say no one watches get FAR more views than any JT threads get, lol.

I'm starting to think the Hillary supporters on JT are a lost cause. There are few anti-Hillary posters on JT because they're all on Youtube or other socal media. Hllary supporters are most definitely in the minority on socia media. Check it out, hehe

Wait, did you really think that the 'interesting' videos you post would sway us over to Trump's side?!?!

Wow.

Stranger - No, not really. You guys really are blind to Hillary and Bill Clinton's corruption. But, come on, admit it - it must be disheartening to see the vast majority of the comments on Youtube are anti-Hillary.

Trump just makes it too easy for them.
