All the celebrities who offered to impersonate Trump team on 'SNL'
Saturday Night Live is reaping the rewards of Trump’s fraught presidency, and stars want in on the harvest.
Following surprise guest Melissa McCarthy’s untrumpable impersonation of White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, celebrities have joined McCarthy in volunteering to play members of Trump's camp.
Zach Braff
Braff is the latest entertainer to offer his talents, posting an open letter to SNL executive producer Lorne Michaels on Twitter Monday. “Dear Lorne, I will shave my head to play this guy,” the actor captioned an image of White House senior policy advisor Stephen Miller. "Pleeeease," he urged.
But Braff might have some competition in another comedian.
Kathy Griffin
Griffin also indicated that she’d be open to playing Miller after a fan posted a composite image of the two and tweeted, “Kathy Griffin as Stephen Miller on SNL?”
We’re here for Griffin and Braff, honestly.
Billy Baldwin
The actor/producer and younger brother of 17-time SNL host and chief Trump impersonator Alec Baldwin has openly joked about playing Trump’s second-eldest son, Eric.
"I’ve got the slicked back hair, I’m a little old for that, but yeah," he toldAccess Hollywood. "Because I’d just have to sit there and go, 'Duh.'"
Rosie O’Donnell
The longtime Trump opponent would also relish joining the roast. The actress/comedian responded to a Twitter user who wrote, “Someone suggested @Rosie play Bannon on #SNL & I am here for it.”
“Available,” she tweeted. “If called, I will serve!!”
Margaret Cho
After seemingly co-signing O’Donnell, Cho volunteered to play Ben Carson, the nominee for secretary of Housing and Urban Development. “I've literally been practicing how to hold full conversations while sleeping,” the comedian riffed.
Christine Baranski
Here’s hoping Baranski makes Good on this one.
The Good Fight star toldVanity Fair that she would be interested in playing Betsy DeVos, the new secretary of education.
“It would seem somewhat logical — we have that strong jawline, don’t we?” she said. “I can play people with whom I drastically disagree. The (SNL) sketches have been unbelievable all through the election, and the post-election. So yeah, we could have a revolving door of people playing the cabinet members and all.”
