Alec Baldwin is set to host Saturday Night Live for a record 17th time this weekend, and he stopped by the Standing Stock-Still On A Moving Burning Train Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon yesterday to get ready for it with some light banter and game play. The best moment came in the middle of "Box Of Lies," when Baldwin and Fallon started trading Trump impressions with one another—Baldwin's impression came off way better compared to Fallon's mushy-mouth one.
The only other Trump reference came at the top of their interview, when Fallon complimented Baldwin on his suit: "I got this suit from the Ivanka Trump Men’s Collection at Nordstrom’s. Big sale right now: 95 percent off of everything."
They also discussed Baldwin's forthcoming memoir and the origins of its title, Nevertheless.
