President-elect Trump weighed in on this weekend's 'Saturday Night Live' show that had Alec Baldwin playing him, tweeting , "It is a totally one-sided, biased show - nothing funny at all. Equal time for us?"
Saturday's show was marked by the return of Alec Baldwin, who played candidate Donald Trump before the election, in his debut as the president-elect.
The episode's cold open (below, in its entirety) -- set at Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey, where Trump is holding meetings this weekend -- kicked off with Baldwin's Trump telling Kate McKinnon's Kellyanne Conway, Trump's campaign manager, that he could not have won the election without her.
"I think about that every day," she says, sighing. (McKinnon's legendary portrayal of Hillary Clinton was absent from the episode.)

Trump is beginning to overdo this kind of thing. It was one thing tweeting all the time during the campaign, but now he is President-Elect & he has better things to do.
Better get your own show, Donald.
The pinkos at NBC have no interest in anything other than money and anti-American propaganda.
He gets some of the mannerisms and the New Yawkisms and the Trumpisms, but he admits he isn’t an expert at mimicking and I don’t find his material all that funny. I do think he is an awfully funny individual, character flaws aside.
It’s not real.
Did he really say this?
Thought baldwin said he wasn’t going to do Trump any longer?
I hope Trump never stops tweeting.
That practically fossilized media dinosaur Leslie asked him about it. He said can reach 28 million people so when the media is unfair he can fight back. He took his campaign message directly to the people, and with his social media reach has an great connection directly to the people.
Saturday Night Live has become an Alinksy propaganda machine for the left. They replace comedy with ridicule of conservatives.
They didn’t get the memo that Americans are tired of the left’s tactics and really, tired of all things leftist.

Donald Trump can probably use his middle fingers to count the number of his supporters who even give a sh!t about what is shown on Saturday Night Live.
Why wouldn’t he suggest?...hey why don’t we come up with an alternative to SNL?
How is this any different than a progressive wanting to legislate talk radio to force both sides of an issue covered?
Isn’t that the point in America, let the market decide what it wants?
Still don’t get why people get bent out of shape over words...LOL.
I agree. It may not matter that much now but hopefully when his policies really start to kick in and things improve for the better there will be less need for reflexive defensiveness.

I watched parts of @nbcsnl Saturday Night Live last night. It is a totally one-sided, biased show - nothing funny at all. Equal time for us?

Most of you don't remember the Tet of '68 when that icon of military expertise on CBS, Walter Cronkite, a hard, anti-American leftist, stated on national tv that America had lost the war. He didn't even know the facts.
The true fact was that the Viet Cong was thoroughly defeated. But that didn't matter because it was the message that was important, just like what the MSM is doing right now.
He has a great point and important concern.
SNL has been slamming conservative principles for decades and until Trump, no one in government has stood up to SNL or other comedy programs.
So now, it is long past due that a president step-in and influence via legislation or FCC regulatory measures to make sure that White House officials approve their skits are fair and balanced.
This is sarcasm, right?
One of the big problems with the descent of traditional conservatism is that conservatives are simply not players in the popular culture, and they haven’t been for decades.
That honestly doesn’t look to change.
