Alec Baldwin was pulling double duty as President Trump and Bill O'Reilly in the same sketch as Saturday Night Live returned with Louis CK as guest host. Baldwin began by spoofing Trump in the cold open—in which he told coal country voters that "I love coal. In Trump's America, all men work in two places: coal mines and Goldman Sachs," per NBC News. He returned as the embattled Fox New personality, recently accused of settling multiple sexual harassment lawsuits, complaining that "many women have come forward and accused me of offering them exciting opportunities here at Fox." He then interviewed himself playing Trump on a split-screen, thanking the president for defending him this week, a defense Trump said was based on a "hunch, just a loose hunch." Clips are in the gallery. (More Saturday Night Live stories.)
