Despite the ratings boon it’s been for “Saturday Night Live,” Alec Baldwin says playing President Trump on the show “is not a lot of fun.”

“He’s tense, he’s angry, he’s pissed off — and that’s not always fun to play,” Baldwin said during a Thursday chat with his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, for "Extra."

Alec Baldwin is poised to guest host “SNL” for the 18th time this weekend.

Last week’s show, which featured Baldwin as the commander in chief in the opening sketch, along with Melissa McCarthy as White House press secretary Sean Spicer, was the highest-rated episode in 22 years, according to NBC.

The real-life Spicer echoed the president’s criticism of “SNL" this week, saying, “Alec has gone from funny to mean, and that’s unfortunate."

“What’s he supposed to say?” Baldwin, 58, responded when asked about Spicer's comment on "Extra."

“All those guys are working for Trump. They work for the president, the office of the president. They’re going to say what they need to say to, you know, fit in, go along to get along," he said.

“That’s, I think, symbolic of where we’re at, which is we repeat back everything Trump says,” Baldwin added.

Trump, who appeared as an "SNL" guest host in 2015, has called the long-running sketch comedy series “not funny” and “biased.”

Baldwin, an outspoken critic of Trump, hit him once again in the “Extra” interview, saying: “My God, coming back to the same thing, which [is] that he won. I thought he would’ve kind of settled down, and relaxed, and said, ‘Hey man, let’s everybody kind of chill.’ The president sets a tone."
