Baldwin ‘stunned’ at popularity of Trump impression
Actor says playing comedy version of US president has turned out to be an 'incredible opportunity'
NEW YORK (AP) — Alec Baldwin said he’s “stunned” at the popularity of his impression of US President Donald Trump on “Saturday Night Live.”
Baldwin told Vanity Fair that he took up “SNL” producer Lorne Michaels’ offer to play the Republican billionaire after a planned movie role fell through. He said it’s turned out to be an “incredible opportunity.”
Baldwin said Kate McKinnon is “one of the three most talented people” he’s worked with on the show. McKinnon has played Hillary Clinton, Trump aide Kellyanne Conway and Attorney General Jeff Sessions on “SNL” this season.
In an excerpt of a new memoir, Baldwin praised his former “30 Rock” co-star Tina Fey. He wrote that working on Fey’s NBC sitcom was the best job he’s had or will ever have.
