## Transcript

They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists, and some, I assume are good people. After these comments in June, it was questionable if NBC can handle the return of Donald Trump to the Saturday Night Live stage. Trump by himself caused protest outside the studio, but what about three Donald Trumps? They're great. They don't have my talents, my money, or especially my good looks. The GOP presidential hopeful hosted SNL for the first time since 2004 appearing only a few months after NBC cut ties with him. But for all outlandish comments Trump's known to make, he's not afraid to laugh at himself in the most Trumpish ways possible.

Mr. President, I'm so sorry to interrupt, we've got a very big problem. What is it? it's the American people, sir. What? They're just sick of winning. They're winning so much. Sia was the musical guest for the night, performing her hits Birds Set Free and Alive. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 actress Elizabeth Banks is set to host next with musical guest Disclosure.
