Alec Baldwin's Trump And Jim Carrey's Biden Offer Very Different Town Halls On 'SNL'

Kate McKinnon played surprise badass NBC host Savannah Guthrie in a Saturday Night Live redo of the presidents town hall in which she skewered Alec Baldwin s Donald Trump .

Plenty of viewers were furious that the home network of SNL set up a town hall for Trump during the same time Democratic rival Joe Biden was on ABC for his town hall.

If you were angry at NBC for doing this town hall, just let me get a few questions in and I think youll thank me, assured McKinnons Guthrie.

First, she explained to Baldwins Trump: Id like to start by tearing you a new one.

She grilled Baldwin on where he stood on a long list of conspiracy theories and hate groups. If your car breaks down, you call Triple K, Baldwins Trump explained, referring to the Ku Klux Klan. As for the Aryan Brotherhood, theyre very pro-family, he added.

He claimed he knew absolutely nothing about conspiracy-peddling QAnon except that its the group that thinks Democrats are a cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles and believes Im their messiah.

Baldwins Trump added: All I do know is that theyre against pedophilia, and I agree with that. If anyone is against pedophiles its me, the man who was close personal friends with one of the most famous pedophiles on Earth. Rest in power, Jeffrey [Epstein] .

Maya Rudolph popped up as Senator Kamala Harris to wonder what the hell was up with the spooky-ass Jordan Peele nonsense of the nodding woman behind Trump. Ego Nwodim , who played real-life Trump supporter Mayra Joli , flashed a sign reading: Call Me, Fox News !

In another cameo, Chloe Fineman played the real-life Paulette Dale , who told the actual Trump that he had a beautiful smile at his town hall but later told the media she was voting for Biden.

Paulette Dale sighting on #SNL pic.twitter.com/4VJKszbYg2

Jim Carreys Biden, meanwhile, was lost in the ozone at his own town hall with Mikey Days George Stephanopoulos. He was launched on a lazy, folksy ramble in which he talked to God, and eventually slipped into Mister Rogers sweater to save the world. Viewers could toggle between Bidens Hallmark movie version of the dueling town halls ... or an alien autopsy, noted SNL.

In a wrapup, Baldwin asked America if they are better off than they were four years ago. When a graphic of the U.S. map shouted loudly: No, he answered: All right, then just try and take me alive.
