Alec Baldwin may not have appeared in the “SNL” cold open for the second week in a row, but it made up for it by revealing an important piece of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into possible collaboration between the Trump campaign and Russia to win the 2016 election: a look at an in-person meeting between WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange (Kate Mckinnon) and Donald Trump Jr. (Mikey Day) in which Assange provided Trump with a pile of hacked emails from the Democrats. And Also Eric.
I’m gonna cut straight to the end here, in which Eric Trump, played as usual by Alex Moffat, stole the show by botching the “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!” declaration that “SNL” wraps its cold opens with.
