When Saturday Night Live returns for its new season this coming weekend, Alec Baldwin is going to take over the role of Donald Trump, with CNNMoney reporting that he'll be playing Trump at least until the election.
SNL released a brief promo video yesterday (September 28th) showing Baldwin in his Trump get-up, going up against Hillary Clinton, who will continue to be played by show regular Kate McKinnon. Trump has previously been played by Darrell Hammond, who's also the SNL announcer, and by Taran Killam, who's no longer with the show. Baldwin has hosted SNL a record 16 times, and has also done occasional cameos. (CNNMoney)
