Fallon entered the Oval Office — where [Alec Baldwin was back playing President Trump](http://time.com/4732238/alec-baldwin-bill-oreilly-trump-snl/ "undefined") — dressed in [Kushner’s attire from Iraq](https://www.wsj.com/articles/trumps-son-in-law-arrives-in-iraq-with-top-u-s-military-officer-1491219732 "undefined") that went viral last week including a bulletproof vest labeled “Kushner” over a blazer. Bannon was, once again, featured as the [Grim Reaper](http://time.com/4660557/alec-baldwin-donald-trump-saturday-night-live-steven-bannon/ "undefined"). “Jared, Steve, standing before me are my two top advisers. But I have only have one photo in my hand. That’s right, tonight is elimination night,” Baldwin said, turning their feud into a parody of reality TV. “Jared, I’ve sent you all around the world to represent me, but no one’s ever heard you speak. You’re like a little Jewish Amelie,” Baldwin said. Ultimately, Fallon’s Kushner is selected to stay, and Bannon is sent back to “hell.” “Jared, you’re such an inspiration,” Baldwin tells Fallon, giving him the seat at the presidential desk at the Oval Office, while he takes a smaller desk in the Oval Office and plays with a toy. “You showed everybody that if you’re born rich and you marry my daughter, you can do anything you want.” Watch the clip above. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4741596/snl-jimmy-fallon-alec-baldwin-jared-kushner/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4741596/snl-jimmy-fallon-alec-baldwin-jared-kushner/"},"headline":"Jimmy Fallon Returns to His 'SNL' Roots for Jared Kushner Parody","datePublished":"2017-04-16T14:15:46.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T04:26:10.378Z","description":"Fallon came onstage dressed in the outfit Kushner wore in Iraq","url":"https://time.com/4741596/snl-jimmy-fallon-alec-baldwin-jared-kushner/","keywords":["Television","Saturday Night Live","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4b6f51adcdc8583c/6988c301cd1bbacd63704bce/snl_trump_kushner.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Alana Abramson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/alana-abramson/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4b6f51adcdc8583c/6988c301cd1bbacd63704bce/snl_trump_kushner.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"SNL_trump_kushner","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4741596/snl-jimmy-fallon-alec-baldwin-jared-kushner/","name":"Jimmy Fallon Returns to His 'SNL' Roots for Jared Kushner Parody"}}]}] ```
