Alec Baldwin returned to "Saturday Night Live" this weekend to reprise his role as Donald Trump, taking jabs at the president-elect's relationship with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, his cabinet picks, his misspelled tweets, and the refusal by some musicians to perform at his inauguration.
The cold open begins with Baldwin's Trump and "SNL" cast member Kate McKinnon's Kellyanne Conway at Trump Tower discussing former Texas governor Rick Perry, who is Trump's pick for energy secretary.
Asks Baldwin's Trump, "Wasn't that a great choice? I saw him on 'Dancing With the Stars.'" Then in a nod to a tweet Trump wrote Saturday morning which misspelled the "unprecedented," Baldwin's Trump adds, "This guy has so much energy. Un-president-ed."
McKinnon's Conway then hands Baldwin's Trump a tiny piece of paper with a list of singers willing to perform at the inauguration -- a jab at the reported refusal by some musicians to perform at the inauguration.
"SNL" cast member Cecily Strong played first lady-to-be Melania Trump, while fellow cast member Beck Bennett played Putin.
During the cold open, the fictitious Trumps are jolted by a sound coming from the chimney.
Ask Baldwin's Trump, "What's that sound? ... Is it a ghost? Am I being scrooged? I hate that"
The mystery is soon solved when Bennett's shirtless Putin pops out of the fireplace.
Soon after, surprise guest John Goodman enters the room, playing Trump's pick for Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, the ExxonMobil CEO and chairman who is friendly with Putin.
The cold open pokes fun at their pair's real-life relationship, with Goodman's Tillerson greeting Bennett's Putin with the nickname "Pooty," and Bennett's Putin, greeting his friend with, "oh my God, Rexy!" The pair then engage in a bro-like handshake and cheer.
