Read our privacy policy Alec Baldwin has returned to “Saturday Night Live.” But the actor who won an Emmy for playing former President Donald Trump didn't reprise that role — he returned Saturday night to play Fox News' Bret Baier in an opening skit that spoofed this week's interview with Kamala Harris. Baldwin received loud cheers from the audience before revealing he was playing Baier, who he joked, “Yes, I do look like someone made a businessman in Minecraft.” Rudolph's Harris nervously laughed after shaking hands with Baldwin's Baier, saying, “The pleasure is neither of ours.” The skit poked fun at Baier's real-life interruptions of Harris, with Baldwin repeatedly interrupting Rudolph in rapid-fire fashion. Rudolph, after several interruptions to the first question: “May I please finish?” Baldwin: “I'm asking you to.” Rudolph: “Well, then you have to listen.” Baldwin: “Well I can't because I'm talking.” Rudolph: "Well, When will you stop?" The clips allowed “SNL” to bring in mini-skits including one with Dana Carvey as President Joe Biden, who has played the role since the beginning of the comedy sketch show's 50th season.
