Trump and Kim North Korea Funny Snl
The Weekend Update segment of this week's "SNL" kicked off by talking about North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un's invitation to President Donald Trump to meet and discuss his country's potential nuclear disarmament.
"In a stunning turn of events, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un agreed to meet in May with Donald Trump, or whoever is president in May," co-host Colin Jost said to begin the discussion. "Trump would be the first sitting U.S. president to meet with the leader of North Korea. And it's also going to be the first time where both translators start every sentence with, 'OK, so what I think he said was…'"
Like Colbert on Thursday night, Jost also couldn't resist getting in a Dennis Rodman joke.

"I just love that a potential nuclear war is hanging in the balance and we're putting our lives in the hands of the only two guys connected on Dennis Rodman's LinkedIn page," Jost said before tossing it over to Che.
"Experts warn that talks between Trump and Kim Jong-un could be risky, because duh," Che said. "Best case scenario is they'll realize they're both crazy and become best friends like the movie 'Step Brothers.'"
Then Che compared the upcoming meeting to an episode of the A&E reality series about terrifying at-risk teens taken away from a life of crime.

"But more than likely Donald Trump is going to realize that he's just Twitter crazy and Kim Jong-un is crazy crazy," Che continued. "There's a big old difference. One guy trolls Oprah online. The other guy murdered his uncle with a cannon. This could end up being the greatest episode of 'Scared Straight' ever. What do you think Trump is going to say at dinner when they tell him he's eating disrespectful limo driver?"
It being the insanely busy week it was in the Trump White House, Weekend Update on "SNL" went a mile a minute from there — dealing with the continuing Stormy Daniels saga, the resignation of Trump's chief economic adviser Gary Cohn, the Trump administration's alleged attempt to set up a secret back channel with Russia in the Seychelles, and Trump blaming video games for gun violence.
And that's just in the first four minutes.

Every 'SNL' Alec Baldwin Donald Trump Sketch Ranked, From Least to Most Retweetable (Photos)
-
We're in for at least (probably) two more years of Donald Trump as President of the United States. That means lots of bad things and one particularly great thing: We're in for a lot more Alec Baldwin impersonations of Trump on "Saturday Night Live." From the often ridiculous phrases to the weird outbursts, "SNL" has captured all of it. In fact, the sketches often seem to struggle to surpass reality in terms of absurdity. But they get there. Here's a list of every Baldwin-as-Trump "SNL" sketch, ranked from least to most hilarious, with links to the sketches.
NBC -
NBC29. Trump's Classroom Cold Open (Dec. 3, 2016)
Trump retweets ridiculous people, like a 16-year-old and a white supremacist. This one's sadder than it is funny, though, because most of it doesn't even require jokes. You can watch that sketch here.
- NBC
28. Donald Trump Prepares Cold Open (Nov. 19, 2016)
Fresh off winning the election, Trump's completely unprepared. We already know that Mike Pence will do everything, but good effort, "SNL." You can watch that sketch here.
- NBC
27. Trump's Christmas Cold Open (Dec. 17, 2016)
Vladimir Putin and Rex Tillerson drop by Trump Tower for Christmas. This one definitely brings to mind the phrase, "No puppet, no puppet." It's also, perhaps, the most outright terrifying of all of these. You can watch that sketch here.
- NBC
26. The O'Reilly Factor with Donald Trump (April 8, 2017)
Alec Baldwin played both a scandalized Bill O'Reilly and Trump, who appeared on O'Reilly's show to defend him. A clueless Trump is a nice addition to this one but he's ultimately just an addition to another gag. You can watch the sketch here.
- NBC
25. Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton — Debate Three Cold Open (Oct. 22, 2016)
Trump is winning "every single poll taken outside a Cracker Barrel," but it's Kate McKinnon as Hillary Clinton who steals this one — kind of like in real life. You can watch that sketch here.
- NBC
24. Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton — Debate 1 Cold Open (Oct. 1, 2016)
The first debate really found Baldwin hitting the Trump stride. It's mostly just him shouting "Gina" in a very insistent tone (his weird pronunciation of "China"). "Yuge Gina" gets a lot of mileage though. You can watch that sketch here.
- NBC
23. Trump Takes the Appeals Court to 'The People's Court' (Feb. 11, 2017)
"SNL" made good on Trump's all-caps "SEE YOU IN COURT" tweet by taking the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to "The People's Court." But Judge Milian hassling Trump about his travel ban was a bit too short to really take off. Watch the sketch here.
- NBC
22. White House Christmas Cold Open (Dec. 2. 2017)
Donald Trump is visited by "the ghost of witness flipped," Gen. Michael Flynn, but it's Kate McKinnon's Hillary Clinton who steals the sketch. Watch the video here.
- NBC
21. Sean Spicer Confronts Trump (May 13, 2017)

- NBC

- NBC
19. Trump's People (April 8, 2017)
Trump checks in with rural white Americans after ordering an airstrike on Syria. Desperate to keep everyone happy, he promises everyone will have coal jobs for the rest of their lives and that he'll slash minimum wage. The final joke about "finger chili" is a standout moment. Watch the sketch right here.
- NBC
18. Press Conference With Baltic Leaders (April 7, 2018)

- NBC
17. Fox & Friends Cold Open (Feb. 5)
Trump called in to his favorite show, Fox News' "Fox & Friends," for a quick pick-me-up after his State of the Union address. Trump isn't the complete focus of this one, but when he shows up to tout the address, he gets in some good jokes -- like how "people" are saying the SOTU was better than Martin Luther King's "I Dream of Jeannie" speech. Watch the sketch here.
- NBC
16. VP Debate Cold Open (Oct. 8, 2o16)
Trump nabs the spotlight from the vice presidential debate and realizes he needs to be a lot more careful about talking about sexually assaulting people while wearing hot mics. Describing himself as a gross groping hurricane is hilariously cringe-worthy. You can watch that sketch here.
- NBC
15. Trump might have ties to Zorblat-9 as aliens invade (March 11, 2017)
Trump spoke to American troops to rally them in a battle against super-powerful space aliens. Unfortunately, Trump's old standbys like "we don't win anymore" and "we're going to bring coal back" were not all that helpful. Most of the rhetoric is stuff we've heard before, but Leslie Jones' and Sasheer Zamata's moments near the end elevate the sketch. Watch the sketch here.
- NBC

- NBC
12. Trump Administration sings "Hallelujah" (May 20, 2017)
The final cold open of the season references Kate McKinnon's cold open as Hillary Clinton, making a perfect joke about Donald Trump's week of news scandals. Scarlett Johansson even returned for a quick guest appearance to reprise her role as Ivanka Trump. Watch it here.
- NBC
11. Hillary Clinton/Donald Trump Cold Open (Nov. 5, 2016)
CNN doesn't care that Trump literally kisses the FBI, Putin and the KKK, instead pestering Hillary about emails. Alec and Kate heartwarming run through Times Square is the real sweet spot of the sketch. You can watch that sketch here.
- NBC
10. Donald Trump gives Bannon and Kushner the 'Apprentice' Treatment (April 15, 2017)

8. Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton Town Hall Debate Cold Open (Oct. 15, 2016)

- NBC
5. Donald Trump Press Conference Cold Open (Jan. 14, 2017)
It might be the lowest-brow of the sketches, but Trump accidentally talking about urine throughout his press conference is bested only by the line, "I'm not talking about the pee-pee, because it didn't happen and it wasn't as cool as it sounds." You can watch that sketch here.
- NBC
4. Donald Trump and Steve Bannon call world leaders (Feb. 4, 2017)

- NBC
3. Donald Trump interview with Lester Holt (May 13, 2017)
