_Saturday Night Live_‘s first new episode after a weeks-long hiatus featured a multitasking Alec Baldwin, who did double duty as both embattled Fox News host Bill O’Reilly and President Donald Trump.

Baldwin kicked off the show playing O’Reilly with a promise to finally address “the scandal everyone’s been talking about all week, a scandal no one thought I’d have the guts to address head-on, about the shocking allegations of abuse of power — that have been leveled against the Obama administration.”

In the last week, [_The O’Reilly Factor_ lost several advertisers](http://fortune.com/2017/04/08/bill-oreilly-sexual-harassment/) after a [New York _Times_](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/01/business/media/bill-oreilly-sexual-harassment-fox-news.html?%5Fr=1) report revealed that five women have received about $13 million to settle accusations of sexual harassment and other inappropriate behavior by O’Reilly.

Baldwin, still playing the Fox News host, then tried to interview a reporter. After being told she no longer works at Fox, Baldwin asked, “Did she get the check?”

Later in a split-screen interview, Baldwin appeared as both Trump and O’Reilly. Baldwin’s O’Reilly noted that Trump,who defended O’Reilly over the [sexual harassment claims](http://time.com/4722035/fox-news-bill-oreilly-lawsuits/) last week, was not familiar with the details of the accusations against him.


“I’m more familiar with this case than I am with, say, health care,” he replied. “But I didn’t really look into it much, no.”

Watch the sketch above.


## Transcript

[ APPLAUSE ] Hi. How are you? And live from New York it's Saturday night. And live from New York it's Saturday night. First of all, it's great to be with you and thank you everybody. Chris, I'm going to start this debate in the quietest vote possible. In the past, I have been big and loud. But tonight, I am a sweet, little, baby Trump. I do not think the United States government should be stepping in and making those most personal of decisions. What two better people are there to talk about women's issues? Me, a woman who has had a child and has taken birth control and him, a man who is a child and whose face is birth control.

[ LAUGH ] We have to have strong borders. But she wants open borders and that is crazy. But we have some bad hombres here and we're gonna get them out. And a lot of them are very bad hombres. [ LAUGH ] Bingo! I got bingo. [ LAUGH ] In the last week 11 women accuse you of sexually assaulting them. Do you still deny each of those claims. I didn't know any of these women. I didn't see these women. I'm completely innocent. Nobody has more respect for women than I do, nobody. [ LAUGH ] [ LAUGH ] She has been doing this for 30 years. Why the hell didn't you do it over the last 15 or 20 years. What has she been doing for the last 30 years.

No Donald, don't set her up like this. I'd be happy to talk about the last 30 years. the last 30 years. [ LAUGH ] Let me just talk briefly about that. Back in the 1970s, I worked for the Children's Defense Fund. Give me a break. And on the day when I was in the Situation Room monitoring the raid that brought Osama Bin Laden to justice, He was hosting the Celebrity Apprentice. Back in the 1970s, I worked for the Children's Defense Fund. Yes, yes, yes. We know- Then I was a Senator in New York on 9 / 11. Yeah, we get it, we get it. And then I'm the Secretary of State and I don't know if you've heard this before- We have.

But I was instrumental in taking down a man by the name of- Osama Bin Laden. Osama [ LAUGH ] [ INAUDIBLE ] Bin Laden, yes. [ INAUDIBLE ] [ LAUGH ] [ APPLAUSE ] But what we wanna do is to replenish the social security- Such a nasty woman. Trust fund- Such a nasty woman. [ LAUGH ] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump, that was incredibly rude. Do you You make the same commitment that you will absolutely, sir, that you will absolutely accept the result of this election. I'm not looking at any thing now. I'll look at it at the time. I will look at it at the time because frankly this whole thing is rigged.

First of all, the media is so dishonest. All off the newscasters are making me look so bad. And how are we doing that? By taking all of the things I say and all of things I do, and putting them on tv. And I will totally accept the results of this great and historic presidential election, if I win. I, Donald Trump- I, the best ever, Donald Trump- Promise to accept- Promise to accept- The results of this election. The results of this election, if I win. Got you loser, trademark.
