Bobby’s role here reminds me of the one he would soon play in the Through Donald’s Eyes pre-tape from this season’s John Cena episode. A huge laugh from Alec’s Trump panickedly Googling “What is ISIS?” Maybe I’ll wait until the Trump inauguration point of this season before I slowly start unleashing my saltiness towards Alec’s Trump performances. Plus, I can’t help but feel that the Alec/Kate Times Square pre-tape from two episodes prior to this would’ve been a very fitting final appearance for Alec’s Trump, and I get the feeling that was SNL’s intention at the time. SNL should’ve had a back-up plan for an ACTUAL CAST MEMBER to officially take over the Trump role, if not by this point of the season (since I understand that SNL, given how sure they were that Trump would lose the election, may not have had enough time between Trump’s election win and this episode to re-cast the role), then AT LEAST by Trump’s inauguration two months later.
I was tolerant of that impression when reviewing the pre-election portion of this season, but there’s no way Alec’s Trump was ever meant to last beyond that portion, nor should it have. I think this is where my slow burn towards Alec’s Trump impression might begin in my reviews. (*sigh*) It’s after the election, and Alec Baldwin is STILL playing Donald Trump.
