Alec Baldwin dubbed 'awful' for criticizing raspy-voiced RFK Jr's neurological condition during ‘SNL’

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Alec Baldwin's skit at 'Saturday Night Live' on November 16 has not been as he would have hoped for as his impersonation of Robert F Kennedy Jr was not taken well by people.

The 'Rust' actor was part of a cold open alongside James Austin Johnson as Donald Trump, Dana Carvey as Joe Biden, and Sarah Sherman as Matt Gaetz, according to Daily Mail.

Alec Baldwin criticizes RFK Jr's neurological condition during 'SNL'

Alec Baldwin cracked jokes about Robert F Kennedy Jr's recent nomination as the new Secretary of Health and Human Services during the skit. He, impersonating RFK Jr, said, "Americans need someone to teach them how to be healthy, someone like me, a 70-year-old man with movie star looks and a worm in his brain.

The actor also mocked Kennedy's vaccine skepticism and altered his voice to mimic Kennedy's distinctive tones which are the result of a condition called spasmodic dysphonia, according to the outlet.

Baldwin said, "I care deeply about a woman's right to choose, to choose to give her child Polio."

The skit also poked fun at RFK Jr's admission he was involved in the discovery of a bear found in Central Park. The actor joked, "Just wish people would take my appointment more seriously. Alright I gotta go, I got a dead dolphin in my car, I think I might saw it in half and dump it in Central Park."

Alec Baldwin impersonates Bret Baier during 'SNL' comeback after 'Rust' manslaughter case dismissal

Alec Baldwin returned to 'Saturday Night Live' for the first time since 2020 in October this year and left his iconic Donald Trump impression behind. The actor stepped into the role of Fox News anchor Bret Baier on the October 19 episode.

The gig took an aim at Baier's interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, played by Maya Rudolph, who’s been a regular in Season 50.

As the episode started, Rudolph’s Harris had a quick quip for Baldwin's Baier. She said "The pleasure is neither of ours" after their introduction and set the tone for a snarky exchange.

Baldwin started with a dig at the VP as he said, "When I interviewed president Trump, my first question was, 'What do you think is the most important issue facing our nation?' So my first question for you is, 'Give me the exact number of murderers you let loose in this country.'"

Rudolph asked, "May I please finish?" to which Baldwin shot back, "I’m asking you to." She replied, "Well, then, you have to listen." Baldwin further said, "Well, I can’t, because I’m talking." A frustrated Rudolph finally asked, "Well, when will you stop?" and Baldwin answered, "Maybe when I go to bed."

The real Baier interview had its own share of drama when a clip of Trump's comments about using the military on the "enemy within" got edited out on Fox News. Baier later apologized for the slip-up, but 'SNL' didn’t miss a chance to parody it.
