First, we KNOW Trump watches the failed rating, unfunny, should be cancelled SNL. Second, holy CRAP.



The return of Stiller as Cohen.

The BRILLIANT Martin Short as Bornstein, incorporating a large measure of his Jerry Lewis impression into his segment.

And that was just for starters. I'm guessing most of you have seen it, but if you haven't, I won't post any more spoilers.

And of course, the biggest "surprise guest" of them all.

NO stone left unturned.

Holy CRAP.

He's always like a mannequin hovering in the background, so he could sound and act in ways we could only imagine. I thought the voice was good, but the actions were over the top. Scarlett Johansson's Ivanka was spot-on, though.

Trump hasn't gotten over the humiliation that president Obama gave him at the correspondence dinner,

It's public humiliations like this that tear Trump apart. Keep em coming SNL.

I'm reasonably sure that was Fred.

A fourth time, full screen and the aged eyes (his and mine ) tell me it was indeed Martin!

So many are willing to do these bits, and they are amazing. I could not stop laughing.

So far no one has mentioned who played Rudy! Kate McKinnon strikes again. You have to know it makes the Trumpsters wild when a WOMAN plays a dude (especially when she continually knocks it out of the park).

Whatever anger he was feeling over SNL probably took a back seat to his reaction to Giuliani's segment on "This Week," and maybe Ivanka got his phone away from him. Who knows...
