Executive producer Lorne Michaels cast the 58-year-old actor to play the Republican nominee this season on “Saturday Night Live,” the show revealed in a promotional video Wednesday.
WATCH:
Baldwin is no stranger to “SNL.” He has guest-hosted the show 16 times since his debut in 1990 — more than any other celebrity — but has never played Trump before now. Darrell Hammond played Trump on the show last year.
“Saturday Night Live” premieres Saturday, Oct. 1.
