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.)

What's not real?
I thought Alec Baldwin was going to Canada, or was he the one that was going to give free blowjobs?
Paging Kellyanne! Clean-up in Aisle One!
Which current state is both silly and tragic... but we should never say never.
Even Johnny Carson’s B-list guests could be side-splittingly funny. They could just casually sit a chair while gabbing away and then bring down the house.
It was another world back then.
He basically always plays the same character he played in “Glengarry Glenn Ross.”
I think this may lead up to that.
Donald is completely one of a kind.
And he gets to tell off the Established Media.
I love having PE who isn’t afraid to speak the truth to the liars and cheats of the media.
“It is a totally one-sided, biased show - nothing funny at all. Equal time for us?”
President Elect Trump has a valid concern and the last 40 years has proven that asking SNL and other media to treat American and Conservative Values fairly has not worked.
It is obvious that Trump has realized this and that he will never be given fair treatment by the press.
So, of there is not “Equal Time for US” then steps can be taken to make equal time for us.
No he isn’t.
Snicker, snicker, snicker...
This old fashioned liberal (that’s what Donald is, and it’s not at all like our modern illiberal liberals) will NOT put up with the establishment bullying. And he’ll go to just about any length to shame it.
Totally disagree. He needs to eviscerate them even more now that he’s president, and he understands that.
He’s not going to let them use him as a punching bag like Bush did.
A lot of great comedians have semi-retired as they can’t ply their trade without offending people.
It's not humorous at all and the invective demonstrated against President Trump proves how their goal isn't humor it's rotten Democrat politics.
Fail and fold!
That’s right. In a knife fight conservatives bring a spit ball.
You know who doesn’t call out liberals? Republicans.
You know who gets used to it? Republicans.
So how about enough from you, Hildy.
Seriously.
Spot on. SNL has been one sided for 42 yeas. Ask the Ford family. Though they let Ackroyd meke Carter look a little silly.
Comedy.
It’s refreshing to see Trump taking on the globalist/mainstream “culture”
SNL will either double down and make themselves more ridiculous and irrelevant, or they might shut up or even do something creative and funny.
I don’t want the government to dictate content. I want the government to break up the (((BIG MEDIA))) eight companies that control 95% of the media. Bust them up so other voices can be heard. THAT would be the best disinfectant.
