Fred Armisen returns to SNL as Trump's new pal Erdogan

Alec Baldwin was back at it again Saturday evening, portraying President Trump during the cold open on Saturday Night Live.

In this week's episode, Baldwin's Trump was holding a rally in "Albacore," — er, Albuquerque — New Mexico where he was joined on stage by a series of overly enthusiastic local supporters. Eventually, some more recognizable faces appeared next to Trump, including Kate McKinnon's Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Alex Moffat's Mark Zuckerburg, while Pete Davidson played a very happy member of the Islamic State who couldn't wait to thank Baldwin's Trump for freeing him from prison in Syria.

Two SNL alums portrayed the final two characters in the sketch, with Darrell Hammond reprising his role as former President Bill Clinton and Fred Armisen taking on Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who seemed to have struck up quite a friendship with Baldwin's Trump.
