In its final cold open before Tuesday’s presidential election, Saturday Night Live brought in veteran cast member Cecily Strong as CNN’s Erin Burnett to moderate a conversation between the two major party nominees. What started as a regular cold open with Republican nominee Donald Trump portrayed by Alec Baldwin and Kate McKinnon‘s Hillary Clinton ended in unusual fashion: the two sketch actors breaking the fourth wall and addressing the crowd directly. In an epic way to end the angry rhetoric that has divided the country, Baldwin and McKinnon run through a montage of loving embraces in Times Square with Americans of all shapes, sizes, and perhaps even immigration statuses. The duo lands back in Studio 8H, encouraging everyone watching at home: get out and vote. Tonight’s SNL episode is hosted by Benedict Cumberbatch (star of the new Marvel Comics film Doctor Strange) with musical performances by Solange Knowles, whose recent album A Seat at the Table has been met with critical acclaim.

But then, out of nowhere really, both Alec Baldwin and Kate McKinnon end their election season on a high note.Alec Baldwin returned to reprise his role as Donald Trump and Kate McKinnon returned as Hillary Clinton in this week’s Saturday Night Live in a joint interview with as Erin Burnett. Burnett asked Trump how he’s feeling. “Really, really great, Erin,” said Trump. “They’re still buying it.” Trump was asked how he manages to keep up the energy to do so many campaign stops per day. “My deep love for America and a really, really big handful of uppers that were meant for race horses,” Trump replied. The topic of Clinton’s emails came up. “These emails are very bad for you, Hillary,” Trump said, which is why he uses Twitter, a website where he can write things that no one will ever read. “Mr. Trump, everyone can see your tweets,” said Burnett. “Really? And I’m still in this thing? America, you must really hate this lady,” said Trump. When Burnett suggested that forces in the FBI might be behind the leak of emails intended to damage Clinton’s campaign, Trump replied that’s ridiculous, then kissed an FBI agent on the lips. Shortly thereafter, the same move took place with an actor playing Russian president Vladimir Putin. “He kissed Putin on live TV!” Clinton protested. “Let’s get back to your emails,” said Burnett. And then when the topic of the KKK’s endorsement came up, a Klansman emerged from the wings to peck Trump in the lips. “Can we talk about how he kissed the KKK?” Clinton asked. “Yeah, but we’re almost out of time,” Burnett said. “Let’s get back to your emails.”= Then after going after each other for a moment, the two candidates paused. “Don’t you guys feel kinda gross about all this?” Trump asked the audience, before he and Clinton fled out of the studio and into the New York street to kiss and hug people on the sidewalk.The two returned to the studio and urged Americans to vote on Tuesday, no matter who they’re voting for. It begins as a typical opening sketch like we’ve seen in past weeks, showing Alex Baldwin playing a very realistic version of Donald Trump and Kate McKinnon putting her Hillary Clinton impression through hell thanks to those damn emails. For Trump, there’s a lot of jokes about his use of Twitter, the way he treats women, and his relationships with the FBI, KKK, and Putin. And it’s a really close relationship too, with Trump calling each of them sweetie and baby before planting a big smooch on their face. McKinnon’s Clinton pleads with Mark Burnett to leak out the tape of Trump allegedly saying the n-word and trying to plead with the public to look at the reality of Trump and his kissy ways. It’s a fine sketch until it takes a turn for reality, with Alec Baldwin breaking off his Trump to say how much he dislikes yelling at McKinnon in the Trump character. They then decide to run outside, meet with people walking on the streets, and having some big positivity love fest in the streets of New York. Then it ends as one big ad for voting, which you better do by this point. If you don’t, I swear one of these people is literally going to come beat the crap out of you.
