And be by his side and gives him something thats critical in this administration and i think shes doing a great job. lets hope that "snl" has had their fun and will go pick on someone else the next time. >> "snl" is going to pick on donald trump a lot. what i think about this comedy was so good because the cold open went after donald trump as this kind of buffoon type of person. but i think its pretty daring to talk about ivanka trump. i think it was daring and it resonates with a lot of people ...

Getting word of another collision. [burke] it happened. december 14th, 2015. and we covered it. talk to farmers. we know a thing or two because weve seen a thing or two. ♪ we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum ♪ everything your family touches sticks with them. make sure the germs they bring home dont stick around. use clorox disinfecting products. because no one kills germs better than clorox. snl was back last night after a brief hiatus and of course we were all waiting for alec bal...

This is straight out of "love actually" that great christmas movie. kate mckinnon as clinton. snl no friend of donald trump and weve seen that the past few weeks in particular. this show, especially on weekend update and with the cold open and with skits like this still wishing hillary clinton was in the mix, was still a possibility, snl showing maybe its true liberal hearts, comedians going out, finishing the year with this christmas scene episode. they will be back in january in time for inaug...

Night live" returned this weekend and to little surprise the cold open centered around donald trump and his continued use of twitter. >> kellyanne, i just retweeted the best tweet. i mean, wow, what a great, smart tweet. >> mr. trump, were in a security briefing. >> i know, but this could not wait. it was from a young man named seth. hes 16, hes in high school, and i really did retweet him, seriously, this is real. >> okay, see, there is a reason that donald tweets so much. he does it to distrac...

President-elect? >> there was something a little lackluster about the whole skit especially being a cold open. the audience response wasnt as, you know, robust as it usually is. i think that has to do with this is no longs ger a joke but this is our president-elect. alec baldwin nailed it. hes so good as trump, but i dont know if he was holding back or if it was just maybe his own opinions. hes an outspoken hillary supporter. maybe he was feeling some type of way about playing the now president....

Thought he was here all the time, ad man donny deutch. president and ceo of the aspen institute, walter isaacson and in detroit, ron. i like it when theyre funny. thats all im going to say. please dont get serious. just dont. >> that cold open. >> its only funny when theyre winning. >> its only funny when theyre making fun of people that they dont understand. this is what happens when they dont understand whats happening in america. i mean, this was a cold open for "saturday night live."
