WATCH: Baldwin’s Trump Meets Baldwin’s O’Reilly on SNL’s ‘O’Reilly Factor with Donald Trump’

“I’d Like to Thank You, Donald Trump, for Promoting Sexual Assault Awareness Month”

Alec Baldwin returned to “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) last night, this time to portray both the president and Bill O’Reilly in a split screen interview for “The O’Reilly Factor with Donald Trump.”

The sketch follows reports that the host of Fox’s “The O’Reilly Factor,” along with 21st Century Fox, paid five women about $13 million in response to their charges of sexual harassment. (As well as Trump’s defense of the Fox host.)

“Tonight’s ‘Talking Points Memo’ is the scandal that everyone’s been talking about all week,” Baldwin’s O’Reilly begins, “a scandal no one thought I’d have the guts to address head on… about the shocking allegations of the abuse of power that have been leveled against the Obama administration.”

He subsequently attempts to bring in a female correspondent before he’s told she no longer works for Fox. (“Did she get the check?” Baldwin quips.)

The show soon goes to commercial break, “O’Reilly” pointing out that sixty sponsors had pulled their ads from the program (“no word as to why yet”), thanking his remaining sponsors, including “Dog Cocaine” and “Cialis for horses.”

Baldwin’s O’Reilly brings on special guest Donald Trump, also portrayed by Baldwin, for an exchange about the president’s support. Baldwin’s Trump soon quips that he’s more familiar with O’Reilly’s case “than, say, healthcare.”

“I deeply appreciate your support on behalf of all women,” Baldwin’s O’Reilly thanks his Trump, “and I’d like to thank you, Donald Trump, for promoting Sexual Assault Awareness Month.”
