Sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live parodied recent developments in the presidential race, including videos of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, played by Alec Baldwin, responding to comments regarding his “pussy-grabbing” vulgar statements from a 2005 video with news entertainment reporter Billy Bush that came to light Friday.
The show’s cold open began with Trump’s vice presidential pick Mike Pence, played by Beck Bennett, saying “Donald Trump loves women, he respects women, he's never said a single bad thing about women, and I dare you to show me a single shred of evidence that proves otherwise,” before cutting to breaking news alert of Trump’s “grab them by the pussy” comment.
The show included a sketch of Trump played by Baldwin, in the same setup of the apology video Trump released, mocking his responses. “I was trying to look cool. What normal, red-blooded American doesn't want to impress the Billy Bush," Baldwin as Trump said in the sketch. "Also, P.S., it's kind of funny that the only Bush that matters in this general election is Billy.”
After a CNN anchor named several major Republican players who have left the Trump camp, the sketch then allowed Trump one last message for women to join his family tent, which included its own parody hot-mic moment.
“I would say this. Listen, women, if you give me a chance, I promise I can do a whole lot more than just grab it. I can also bop it, twist it, pull it. I'm tired of talking about me, okay?" Baldwin said as Trump. "We need to move forward and focus on the serious issues. I'd like to send condolences and prayers to everyone affected by Hurricane Matthew. I love the people of Florida and I hope that they stay safe.”
Before the scene ends, Baldwin is ‘unintentionally’ caught referencing “tearing through all that hot Miami pussy."
The CNN anchor then cuts to a shot of Kate McKinnon as Hillary Clinton popping champagne bottles at the Clinton campaign headquarters. “I'm sorry, Brooke. I'm sorry, didn't see you, we were so busy preparing for the debate tomorrow," McKinnon said as Clinton, while celebratory music played in the background. "I'm really excited for this one."
