Robert de Niro is back as Robert Mueller on ‘SNL’


Robert de Niro reprised his role on “Saturday Night Live” as special counsel Robert Mueller with a warning about the probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

In a surprise appearance during Saturday’s “cold open,” De Niro, playing a boogeyman-like Mueller, pops out of a closet in what is meant to be Eric Trump’s bedroom.

“Don’t be scared, it’s just me Robert Mueller, your dad’s friend from work,” De Niro tells Eric Trump, played by Alex Moffat.

De Niro as Mueller warns Eric that some of his dad’s friends may end up in prison because of the investigation, including Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen — referred to as “federal inmate 10358” in the sketch.

“Mr. Mueller, people say you’re the worst thing to ever happen to my dad,” Moffat, as Eric Trump, says in the sketch.​

De Niro replies: “No Eric, getting elected president was the worst thing that ever happened to your dad,” prompting cheers from the audience.​

The sketch comes a day after explosive court documents filed by Mueller directly linked Trump to hush-money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal.

Donald Trump wants the courts to determine if it is legal for 'Saturday Night Live' to 'belittle' him

By BRIAN NIEMIETZ

President Trump says the justice system should stop investigating his administration and go after the real enemy – “Saturday Night Live.”

During a series of Sunday morning tweets attacking everyone from his former attorney Michael Cohen to Hillary Clinton, the President slipped in the suggestion that NBC’s long-running comedy skit program should be “tested in courts,” seemingly for its alleged “collusion” with Democratic party interests.

“A REAL scandal is the one sided coverage, hour by hour, of networks like NBC & Democrat spin machines like Saturday Night Live. It is all nothing less than unfair news coverage and Dem commercials. Should be tested in courts, can’t be legal? Only defame & belittle! Collusion?” the President tweeted.

Trump has repeatedly slammed investigations into his campaign’s possible involvement in electoral misconduct as “a witch hunt.” He’s insisted the process should be brought to an end.


Hours before Trump’s morning tweet storm, “Saturday Night Live” opened with a segment inspired by the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” in which the cast wonders what the world might have be like had Trump not been elected president.

“It’s awful, everything is falling apart, sometimes I wish I’d never been president,” Trump says at the beginning of the skit. Then an angel magically transports the President to an alternate reality holiday party, where everyone around him is happier because Clinton won the election by making one visit to Wisconsin.

In the skit, Alec Baldwin reprised his role as Trump and was joined onstage by Matt Damon, playing Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who never made it to the highest court in the land. The skit also featured Robert De Niro as special counsel Robert Mueller.

It’s unlikely that a U.S. court would hear the President’s case against “Saturday Night Live” as parody has historically been protected by the First Amendment.

A prime example of courts protecting the media’s right to parody a celebrity came in 1988 when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of pornographer Larry Flynt after Rev. Jerry Falwell sued over a satirical interview in Hustler magazine that joked that Falwell’s first sexual encounter was with his own mother.

A Virginia jury ordered Flynt to pay $150,000 in damages. Flynt appealed, and won his case in the Supreme Court on an 8-0 vote. "Despite their sometimes caustic nature, from the early cartoon portraying George Washington as an ass down to the present day, graphic depictions and satirical cartoons have played a prominent role in public and political debate," chief justice William Rehnquist observed in his majority decision in the case.

The case was featured in a 1996 movie, “The People vs. Larry Flynt,” that starred Woody Harrelson, Ed Norton and Courtney Love.

There’s precedent for “Saturday Night Live” putting its own spin on “It’s a Wonderful Life.” In 1986, Dana Carvey starred in a parody where the townspeople of Bedford Falls form a mob to attack Mr. Potter, the movie’s wheelchair-bound scoundrel.

“Why, you’re nothing but a fraud!” exclaims Carvey, playing the movie’s hero George Bailey, when he discovers during the beating that Mr. Potter isn’t actually handicapped.

REM trolls Trump on Twitter

Beto O’Rourke is being a hypocrite about the border wall
President Trump accused TV networks of teaming up against his administration on Sunday and questioned why shows like “Saturday Night Live” can take shots against him and other Republicans without “retribution.”

“Nothing funny about tired Saturday Night Live on Fake News NBC! Question is, how do the Networks get away with these total Republican hit jobs without retribution? Likewise for many other shows? Very unfair and should be looked into. This is the real Collusion!,” the president wrote on Twitter.

Moments later he drove the point home in an all caps tweet.

“THE RIGGED AND CORRUPT MEDIA IS THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!,” he wrote.

“Saturday Night Live,” which has targeted Trump and his administration in numerous skits, made light of his Rose Garden address last week when he announced he was declaring a national emergency on the southern border so he could build a wall.

Alec Baldwin, who has been impersonating Trump on the comedy show, called the emergency “fake” on Saturday night’s show.

“You all see why I gotta fake this emergency, right? I have to because I want to,” Baldwin said in the show’s opening segment. “It’s really simple. We have a problem. Drugs are coming into this country through no wall.”

He continued: “Wall works, wall makes safe. You don’t have to be smart to understand that – in fact it’s even easier to understand if you’re not that smart.”

Baldwin also aped Trump’s sing-song delivery when during his Friday address the president predicted his emergency declaration would be met with legal challenges and have a tough time in the courts.

“I’ll immediately be sued and the ruling will not go in my favor and then it will end up in the Supreme Court and then I’ll call my buddy [Brett] Kavanaugh and I’ll say ‘it’s time to repay the Donny,’ and he’ll say, ‘new phone, who dis?’ And by then the Mueller report will be released, crumbling my house of cards and I can plead insanity and do a few months in the puzzle factory and my personal hell of playing president will finally be over,” Baldwin-as-Trump said.

He also made fun of the results of Trump’s physical released last week.

“I’m still standing 6-7, 185 pounds — shredded,” Baldwin said.

The physical found Trump was in “very good health overall,” but at 6-foot-3 and 243 pounds he has a body mass index of 30.4 which puts him in the category of obese.

The real Donald Trump celebrated the end of the Mueller report this week, so you know the president's least-favorite program, "Saturday Night Live," was going to do the same.

Alec Baldwin returned as Trump, while Robert De Niro made his now-expected cameo as special counsel Robert Mueller and Aidy Bryant joined the show's trend of gender-bending impressions as Attorney General William Barr.

The news trickled downhill from Mueller's 300-plus page report to Barr's "almost four page" summary to Trump's tweets -- of course.

"Sean Hannity has read it and he's so excited he texted me an eggplant," Baldwin's Trump said.


(MORE: Kenan Thompson channels R. Kelly for unhinged interview on 'SNL')
To the news of everyone indicted in the probe related to Trump, Barr responded they were "good people" and Trump responded, "The pardons are already in the mail."

And of course Trump further implicated himself.

"Russia, if you're watching, go to bed, daddy won!" Baldwin said.

We also got a visit from Trump's brilliant legal mind: Kate McKinnon playing Rudy Giuliani.

"I guess my legal strategy worked," Giuliani said. "If you want to know my legal strategy you'll have to ask the family of goblins that live in my head and hold my eyes open."

We'll have to see if this was De Niro's last appearance on the show as Mueller, now that the report has wrapped up in real life.

Vladimir Putin, played as usual by Beck Bennett, made an appearance in a sketch later in the show where he pleaded with his staff that the Mueller report was wrong and he really did control Trump.

"Is Trump work for Russia or not?" an aide asked.

Putin reluctantly answered "no," to the disappointment of his staff.

"I do most of what people think," Bennett's Putin pleaded. "I'm still a powerful, scary guy!"

Can’t stop him now!

Saturday Night Live’s season finale started with a skit of President Trump leading a hilarious rendition of the Queen hit, “Don’t Stop Me Now.”

Alec Baldwin brought back his impersonation of the president, starting the cold opener by bragging that he was “on cruise control to a second term and there’s nothing the Democrats in Congress can do about it.”

“So sit back and enjoy the ride, America,” he said — standing to start the Queen classic with First Lady Melania, played by Cecily Strong, sliding in to lie seductively on his desk.

They were soon joined by Vice President Mike Pence (Beck Bennett), press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders), Justice Clarence Thomas (Kenan Thompson) and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross (Kate McKinnon), who also played the guitar solo.

Even Kanye West (Chris Redd) joined them, wearing his red MAGA cap as he puts his arm around the president and rapped to the rock hit.

Only the arrival of Trump’s eldest sons Don Jr (Mikey Day) and Eric (Alex Moffat) paused the singalong — with Eric bursting into the “Muppet Show” theme instead.

Robert de Niro reprised his role as Robert Mueller, trying to end the jubilation by announcing he had “something very important to say to the American people.”

“No collusion, no obstruction,” Baldwin’s Trump interrupted — with his team once again continuing the Queen classic.

The president ended with a Game of Thrones quip, advising viewers to “tune in next season to see who lives and who dies.”

McKinnon’s Ross then crept into the shot to say, “Spoiler, I live. I live for another 150 years. And the iron throne will be mine.”

NEW SEASON - SNL opener: Alec Baldwin’s Trump begs for impeachment help


Even fixer Ray Donovan can’t help President Trump with impeachment.

Alec Baldwin brought back his impersonation of Donald Trump to open the new season of Saturday Night Live — with the president desperately calling everyone for help with his impeachment inquiry.

The cold-opener started with Trump calling obvious political allies, with Kate McKinnon as publicity-seeking lawyer Rudy Giuliani, Aidy Bryant as Attorney General William Barr and Beck Bennett as “the perfect stooge,” Vice President Pence, who was told Ukraine is “his mess.”

After chatting to sons Eric and Don Jr., Baldwin’s Trump even called Kim Jong-un, played by SNL newcomer Bowen Yang, who told him he should send his whistleblower to the bottom of a big ocean.

“I wish my country was as cool as your country,” Trump sighed in reply.

Baldwin’s Trump then called his ‘urbans’ — Chris Redd as Kanye West and Kenan Thompson as Don King.

Tekashi 6ix9ine who is in custody in New York as part of a gang racketeering trial.

“I don’t think we can be fam no more fam,” ‘Kanye’ tells him, while even King admits, “This whole impeachment thing is hurting our brand.”

Trump finally makes the call to someone who can make people disappear — with the screen cutting to actor Liev Schreiber.

“Is this Ray Donovan, the fixer? The guy who takes care of stuff, wink-wink?” Trump asked.

“I told you, Mr. President, Ray Donovan is a fictional character,” the Showtime star told Baldwin. “I’m Liev Schreiber, the actor.”

After asking to be put through to John Wick, with Liev pointing out Keanu Reeves’ movie character is also fake, Baldwin’s Trump finally asked, “What about Liam Neeson?”

“Oh — actually Liam might do it,” Schreiber replied, with Trump smiling, “I’ll get him. Problem solved.”

After a cameo-filled cold open featuring Alec Baldwin’s President Trump and Kate McKinnon’s Rudy Giuliani freaking out over impeachment, Saturday Night Live’s 45th season premiere took their send-up of impeachment-mania one step further, airing a 10-minute mock CNN Impeachment Town Hall.

The panel, according to CNN’s Erin Burnett (Cecily Strong), served as an example of how the Democratic candidates have “united together and decided to handle impeachment the only way they know how: with a muddled, 10-person town hall debate.”


There was SNL newcomer Bowen Yang—the first-ever cast member of Asian descent—as Andrew Yang, sporting a tight shirt and imitating the candidate’s lack of neck. “I’m literally giving free money to people and I’m still in sixth place!” he exclaimed. Another newbie, Chloe Fineman, appeared as Marianne Williamson—live via astro-projection from outer space.

Then came the “actual candidates,” including Kate McKinnon’s Elizabeth Warren and—yes!—Larry David’s Bernie Sanders, who exclaimed, “Hello, everyone! I’m so excited to be back and ruin things a second time!”

Host Woody Harrelson debuted his Joe Biden impersonation—ridiculous capped teeth and all. “There’s no need to worry anymore: Daddy’s here, America! I see you, I hear you, I sniff you, and I hug you from behind.”

He added, “Now, as I ask anytime I walk into a room: Where am I? And what the hell is going on here?”

And, last but certainly not least, the great Maya Rudolph cameoed as Kamala Harris. In her pitch-perfect tone, she exclaimed, “Now, Erin, that little girl you just introduced? That little girl is me. Just checking because, I’m not just that little girl. I’m also America’s cool aunt. A fun aunt. I call that a ‘Funt.’ The kind of Funt that will give you weed but then arrest you for having weed. Can I win the presidency? Probably not. Can I successfully seduce a much younger man? You better funting believe it.”

During its season premiere last week, Saturday Night Live trotted out celebrity guests and ex–cast members to jazz up its familiar formula. In the episode’s cold open, Alec Baldwin’s Donald Trump blustered about impeachment proceedings; relief for the president (and for viewers) arrived in the form of the Showtime character Ray Donovan, a fixer played by the actor Liev Schreiber. Last night’s episode, which again began with an impeachment-focused sketch, traded Schreiber for a different guest—Matthew Broderick, in the role of a laissez-faire Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

As Pompeo, Broderick offered a breezy counterpart to Kate McKinnon’s histrionic Rudy Giuliani and Beck Bennett’s overwhelmed Mike Pence. “The other thing that we could do is just flee the country. There’s a whole list of countries that would love to have us: North Korea, Saudi Arabia. End of list,” Broderick noted midway through the sketch. (More compelling, though, was his tugging on some nostalgia strings as he exited, remixing a famous Ferris Bueller’s Day Off line: “Impeachment moves pretty fast. If you don’t look around, you might miss it.”)





Indeed, the best moments of the night were the lines that felt most playful—and self-aware. As the episode host, the writer and actor Phoebe Waller-Bridge spent much of her opening monologue speaking about the exhilarating success of her Amazon series Fleabag, which racked up several trophies at last month’s Emmys. She began by noting that people always ask if she’s like the titular character, whom she describes as “sexually depraved, foul-mouthed, and dangerous.” Taking a beat, she continued: “And I always have to say to them, ‘Yes, you’re absolutely right.’”

SNL recreates NATO’s hot-mic moment as school cafeteria clique


Saturday Night Live mocked the mockers.

An all-star cast poked fun at the European leaders caught on a hot mic belittling President Trump — painting them as childish students wanting to be in the cool kids’ clique in the school cafeteria.

The latest cold open started with Jimmy Fallon as Canadian President Justin Trudeau alongside Paul Rudd as French President Emmanuel Macron, with a gushing female delegate calling them “so cool.”

James Corden, with a wig of unruly blond hair, then walked out to join them as British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, with Fallon’s Trudeau calling him “so cringe.”

The trio soon quietened down when Alec Baldwin walked out in his now-famous role as the president, with them mocking his lengthy NATO speech which was supposed to be just a photo op, the subject of their real-leaders hot mic moment.

“Well, if I looked like him, I’d try to distract the photographer, too,” Fallon’s Trudeau quipped, with Corden’s BoJo getting awkward glances as he added, “He’s not good looking like us three!”

When Baldwin’s Trump, his tray overflowing with burgers, finally asks to sit with them, Rudd’s Macron replied, “We’d love to see you talk and chew at the same time, but we promised this seat to a friend.”

Trump stressed that he was “Boris’s friend” — referring to the close ties between the UK and US — with his ally instead looking away and mumbling, “Don’t make this harder than it already is, old bean. I’m hanging out with these guys now.”

“He’s, like, dumber than Boris,” Fallon’s Trudeau said of Trump, with BoJo laughing as he agreed.

Trump was made to sit with Latvia, complaining, “I can’t believe they made me sit with the foreign kid,” while the trio invited German Chancellor Angela Merkel, played by Kate McKinnon, to take his place at the table.

“Donald, I heard someone likes you, too,” Fallon’s Trudeau told him. “Putin!”

The bullying ended with them sticking an “IMPEACH ME!!!” sign on the president’s back, and Trudeau slapping Trump’s hand into his face after tricking him by saying, “I heard you can’t get impeached if your hand is bigger than your face.”

Cecily Strong then came out as First Lady Melania Trump complaining about bullying — and turning it into an add for Peloton.







“Are you scared woman, tramped in a mansion? Why not imagine biking away from it all,” she said, joking about the company’s ad that has gone viral over sexism complaints.

Trump arrives in SNL’s ‘dream’ impeachment using Weinstein-style walker



Alec Baldwin played President Trump hobbling into court with a Harvey Weinstein-style walker as Saturday Night Live dreamed up the impeachment trial “you wished had happened.”

Noting the lack of witnesses and new evidence, the famed comedy show instead created a courtroom drama with testimony from a dream cast including John Bolton, a vaping, hoverboarding Hunter Biden and ultimately the president himself.

Trump appeared eager to take a page out of celebrity trials, using a walker like Weinstein has used to arrive for his rape trial, and even putting on a Phil Spector-style wig to look like the convicted killer.

“President Trump, are you trying to Weinstein me now?” asked TV’s Judge Mathis, played by Kenan Thompson.

“In which sense, because Harvey and I overlap in a few areas?” Baldwin’s Trump asked, referring to #MeToo claims also made against the president.

The fake president told the hearing that he was a “very sick old man” who couldn’t withhold anything from Ukraine because he can “barely get around the house.”

But he then confessed in the “dream” trial, “My defense is very simple your honor — I’m guilty, but it ain’t no thang!”

“What I’ve learned from this trial is that clearly nothing I do or say has any consequence, so I’d like to come clean about everything,” Baldwin’s Trump told the fake hearing.

“The call with Ukraine wasn’t perfect, it was illegal and frankly it was a butt dial,” he said, before claiming that he watches “CNN all the time” despite making the network the main target of his fake-news attacks.

“I cheat all the time: at golf, taxes, wives, elections, in bathroom scales. I’m not 239 pounds; I’m 475 pounds. And I don’t really need this walker either, although it does help me be lazier, which I like,” he said in the skit.

Baldwin’s Trump then claimed to have cut the funding to fight the coronavirus, calling it “this Wang Chung virus.”

Judge Mathis ultimately found Trump guilty, fining him $10,000 — and forcing him to say something nice about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

“Fine. Her body is an eight,” Baldwin’s Trump said.

SNL back again with virtual episode

NBC's Saturday Night Live returned for its second virtual, produced-from-home episode during the coronavirus pandemic Saturday evening. Academy Award winning actor Brad Pitt kicked things off, appearing as Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, during the episode's cold open. Pitt's exasperated Fauci warned people not to consume disinfectants in light of recent comments by President Trump, and admitted he was likely getting fired because Trump said he wasn't. Eventually, Pitt broke the fourth wall, removed his wig, and thanked Fauci for his leadership during the pandemic.

Brad Pitt channels Dr. Anthony Fauci for ‘SNL’ virtual cold open


Brad Pitt brought some red-hot star quality to the cold open of “Saturday Night Live … At Home.”

The “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood” Oscar winner donned a silver wig to play White House coronavirus task force advisor, Dr. Anthony Fauci, ruminating on President Donald Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 crisis.

Why 'SNL' isn't dying from the coronavirus: It's not just Brad Pitt and Miley Cyrus
Following Trump’s much publicized comments about UV light and disinfectant injections, Brad-as-Fauci grimaced: “I know I shouldn’t be touching my face, but …”

After a few predictable digs, Pitt, 56, whipped off his silver wig and praised America’s health-care workers on the frontline — and Dr. Fauci’s “calm and clarity” — before declaring: “Live, kinda, from all across America, it’s Saturday night!”

After some sketchy moments in the first canned “Saturday Night Live … At Home” episode forced by the coronavirus lockdown, NBC’s venerable comedy franchise rallied to give it another virtual go this weekend.

Viewers were obviously hungry for it: The first “At Home” installment two weeks ago pulled 6.7 million viewers, making it the second-highest rated episode since ‘80s cast breakout Eddie Murphy’s much ballyhooed return to the 30 Rock stage scored 10 million viewers in December 2019.

Also of note: Earlier this month, when CNN’s Alisyn Camerota, 53, asked Fauci, 79, who should portray him should he ever be lampooned on “SNL,” the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases grinned and quipped, “Oh, Brad Pitt — of course.”
