Alec Baldwin sings SNL swan song
In what could be his last turn as Donald Trump, Alec Baldwin returns for the season finale of SNL to sing Hallelujah, a callback to a previous sketch following Hillary Clinton's stunning loss in the election.
"Yeah, we're going to fit that in," he told CNN. "I think people have enjoyed it."
Baldwin – who spent much of the past season lampooning the US president's un-ending controversies, from his fumbling diplomacy to links with Russia – added, however, that his busy schedule will limit his number of Trump appearances, saying viewers can expect only "a couple of celery sticks" rather than a "whole meal" of POTUS-bashing.
The actor is currently starring in the romantic-drama Blind with Demi Moore, and set to begin production on a biopic on Italian car manufacturer Ferruccio Lamborghini, playing his rival Enzo Ferrari.
It was widely speculated Baldwin, 59, would hang up his infamous golden bouffant and orange paint-job, following an epic singalong to close last season's final episode of the sketch comedy series.
The actor had also spoken out on his increasing misgivings about trivialising Trump, while the real thing laid waste to progressive policies in the US.
"The maliciousness of this White House has people very worried, which is why I'm not going to do [the impression] much longer," he told Extra in March. "I don't know how much more people can take it, you know?"
Baldwin's about-face will be welcome news to SNL executive producer Lorne Michaels and head honchos at network NBC.
The impression – and Trump's increasingly annoyed public criticisms of it – fuelled a ratings revival for SNL, scoring the show its best numbers in 23 years.
The show's next season, its 43rd since debuting in 1975, is expected to premiere in October.
