SNL’s Trump Tells Fox & Friends ‘House Elf’ Devin Nunes Is Doing Such a Great Job He’s ‘Close to Earning His Freedom’

“There are no real jobs here. Every day feels like when a group of strangers works together to push a beached whale back into the sea.”

Saturday Night Live’s cold open parodied the cast of Fox & Friends talking by phone with President Donald Trump (played perfectly by Alec Baldwin,) who was alone in bed doing his P90X workout – which amounted to eating a McDonald’s Egg McMuffin and sipping a Diet Coke.

The Fox & Friends team lavished praise on the president, calling him “big guy” as Trump said he is “so busy…saving the economy, destroying ISIS, and right now I’m getting my daily Intelligence briefing,” Trump said.

“Oh, um, from who?” Steve Doocy (Alex Moffat) asks off camera.

“From you guys,” Trump replies.

“Thanks so much. Your show is so great. Yuuuge ratings! Of course – not as big as the ratings for my State of the Union speech, which was watched by ten billion people, including all of China. Now they say there’s only seven billion people on Earth, so where  the other three billion people come from? Illegals? I don’t know.”

Ainsley Earhardt (Heidi Gardner) complimented Trump on his speech, saying it was the “best speech in the history of this country.”

“Thank you Ainsley, I’m going to tweet that right now. Boom! Tweeted. MAGA,” Trump replied. “You know, a lot of folks are saying, including Paul Ryan, it was better than Martin Luther King’s ‘I Dream of Jeannie’ speech.”

“But guys, this memo might be the greatest memo since the Declaration of Independence – I don’t know, I haven’t read either one of them. And Devin Nunes, I love that guy, my sweet little house elf. So close, so close to earning his freedom. His memo proves that the FBI is biased and they have a history of this folks. OK? A history,” Trump says, and then sips his Diet Coke.

Before Trump appeared in the skit SNL took aim at Hope Hicks, played by Cecily Strong. They mock her lack of experience as White House Communications Director, to which she admits, “There are no real jobs here. Every day feels like when a group of strangers works together to push a beached whale back into the sea.”
