Vice President Kamala Harris recently faced intense backlash after her appearance on Saturday Night Live, but she's not the first politician to face criticism for her time on the show. Fellow presidential candidate Donald Trump, who has hosted the show twice, had his fair share of memorable moments on SNL. Let's take a look at three of his most jaw-dropping moments on the show.
Donald Trump first hosted SNL in 2004, and his second stint as host came in 2015, during his presidential campaign. During his first appearance, Trump participated in several sketches, including a parody of The Apprentice, which was a popular reality TV show at the time. However, it was his second appearance that sparked intense controversy.
During his 2015 appearance, Trump faced widespread backlash for his portrayal of a Hispanic construction worker in a sketch. Many Latinos and immigration activists criticized Trump for his stereotypical portrayal of the character, calling it racist and insensitive.
Another notable moment from Trump's 2015 appearance was when he was roasted by Larry David during a sketch. David, a long-time friend and supporter of SNL, walked on stage during a mock presidential rally and called Trump a 'racist'. Trump, who was in character at the time, seemed to take the joke in stride.
Trump's third and perhaps most infamous moment on SNL came when he was parodied by Alec Baldwin during the show's 2016 season. Baldwin's impression of Trump became one of the show's most popular sketches, with many praising the actor for his spot-on portrayal of the then-presidential candidate. Trump, however, was not amused, and he repeatedly expressed his displeasure with the sketch on social media.
