After almost a month’s break, “Saturday Night Live” is back and didn’t miss a beat tackling Donald Trump’s first press conference since winning the election and nothing was off limits — not even golden showers.
With Alec Baldwin returning as the president-elect, “SNL” kicked off the faux news conference by solidifying the fact that yes, Trump really will be the country’s president in a few short days.
“I would like to start by answering the question, what’s on everyone’s mind — yes, this is me live,” said Baldwin as Trump. “On January 20th, I, Donald Trump, will become the 45th president of the United States. Two months later Mike Pence will become the 46th.”

Another big event that goes a little hand in hand with the Donald becoming our next president is his inauguration — which has seemingly had some hiccups in planning. But don’t worry, Baldwin assures everyone that there will definitely be some big A-list talent attending … even if they are wax figures.
“Hold on to your tits and bits because we’ve got Three Doors Down. Also from America’s Got Talent, we’ve got Jackie What’s Her Face, and best of all we’ve got the one Rockette with the least money in her savings,” said Baldwin. “We’ve also got some huge A-list actors coming like Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Lawrence, they’ll all be at my inauguration courtesy of Madame Tussaud’s.”

Of course, the press conference wasn’t complete with some mention of the infamous golden showers incident. The faux president tried time and time again to ward off those questions, but the reporters kept firing away.
“I’m not talking about the peepee because it didn’t happen and it wasn’t as cool as it sounds. Next question,” said Baldwin.
