Alec Baldwin on 'SNL' Trump impression: 'I'm not going to do it much longer'
Fox News ^ | March 7, 2017

Alec Baldwin's days of impersonating Trump are numbered.

While President Donald Trump may have four more years in office, Baldwin does not plan on keeping up his impression for much longer.

"His policies aside, which you can hate, I thought he would have just relaxed," Baldwin told Extra's Mario Lopez. "The maliciousness of this White House has people worried, which is why I'm not going to do it much longer, the impersonation, I don't know how much more people can take it."

Alec, go back to humiliating your daughter in one of your drug induced rants. Or maybe a gig as the “before” in a Jenny Craig ad.

He gets paid union scale to do that show, meaning he gets paid less than the unknowns in the cast.

I’m sure he wants to get out and start making movie money again.

Yeah, he has to get ready to run for POTUS in 2020. His team is already prepping an anti-Franken oppo dossier.

SNL used to be about up-and-coming rising stars. Not as a repository for washed-up has-beens. Baldwin did a horrible impression of Trump and took the job of some younger kid who might have put a little more effort into the role and turned it into an 8-year gig. Nobody is going to want to watch those skits years from now.

In contrast, Dana Carvey did an excellent GHWB impression back in the 1980s. It was never mean-spirited or nasty but didn't pull any punches either. I thought it was very well done. It was good comedy that still stands up well today.

Done properly, SNL could be pulling huge ratings with Donald Trump in office. Let's face it, I'm a huge supporter of Trump but he provides an incredible treasure trove of comedic material for a talented actor who is able to pull it off. Opportunity squandered by SNL to bring some bright new star along. Instead they took the ugly route with an ugly and hateful human being.

SNL hasn’t been funny since about 1977 or 78...

Good. He’s not funny and has anger management problems.

Nah none of their audience would know who this President Ford was during the first season. That is ancient history and we know most yutes have no idea about anything that happened before they were born.

And the fact that there’s a long line of Deplorables who would be quite happy to shut Alec’s lying gob with a fresh knuckle sandwich...

At least with the early days they were so funny that the little bit of political commentary was not that bad.

"Jane, you ignorant slut" was based on a real life liberal and conservative duo. Dan Ackroyd played the conservative.

I haven’t watched SNL since he started doing this, after having watched about 80% of the episodes since the show debuted in the 1970s.
