It’s only two weeks into Donald Trump’s presidency and “Saturday Night Live” is already handing the president’s desk over to his chief strategist. The next four years should be fun.
With Bannon’s character dressed as the grim reaper and watching over him, Alec Baldwin spoofs Trump in phone conversations with the leaders of Australia, Mexico, Germany and Zimbabwe. Then he gets banished to his little boy’s desk.
The star of the show, though, was actress Melissa McCarthy, impersonating White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer.
Spicer tells the room of journalists that he’s “apologizing on behalf of you, to me, for how you have treated me these last two weeks. And that apology is not accepted!”
Enjoy?

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
