Alec Baldwin returned to "Saturday Night Live" last night for the first time since the election to portray President-elect Donald Trump.
Baldwin joined fellow Long Island native Kate McKinnon as campaign manager Kellyanne Conway after the election.
In the cold open, Trump deals with the promises he made during his campaign to defeat ISIS, bring jobs back to middle America, build a wall and send Hillary Clinton to jail.
"They're going to make it hard for us to hire a special prosecutor to put Hillary in jail," said Beck Bennett as Vice President-elect Mike Pence.
"Don't do it. Scrap it. She didn't do anything. Scrapped!" said Baldwin.
The two also bring up Pence recently attending "Hamilton" on Broadway.
"It was good. I got a free lecture," said Bennett as Pence.
"SNL" alum Jason Sudeikis dropped in to share a prolonged and silent handshake with Trump as Mitt Romney, who is reportedly being considered for a Cabinet position as secretary of state.
President-elect Donald Trump tweeted Sunday morning in response to "SNL."
"I watched parts of @nbcsnl Saturday Night Live last night. It is a totally one-sided, biased show - nothing funny at all. Equal time for us?"
Baldwin replied in a slew of tweets directed at Trump.
"Equal time? Election is over. There is no more equal time," Baldwin tweeted. "You know what I would do if I were Prez? I'd be focused on how to improve the lives of AS MANY AMERICANS AS POSSIBLE."
Baldwin tweeted that if he were president, he would focus on improving America's reputation abroad, creating jobs and encouraging people rather than generating fear and doubt.
"I could go on. You want more advice, call me," Baldwin tweeted. "I'll be at SNL."
