Is it time for Alec Baldwin to stop playing President Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live?

That’s what he thinks at least. In an interview with “Extra,” Baldwin said that he’s not going to be doing it for much longer thanks to what he described as a level of “maliciousness” in the White House which “has people very worried.”

“I don’t know how much more people can take it,” he told host Mario Lopez.

He continued, “Trump just overwhelmingly lacks any sportsmanship. He remains bitter and angry and you just want to look at him and go, ‘You won!”

Lopez also asked him if he’d consider hosting the White House Correspondent’s Dinner, an annual event thrown by the White House Correspondents' Association in an effort to raise funds to support scholarships and awards for student and professional journalists. In recent years it has become common for a comedian to host.

Trump announced he will break with tradition and not attend the dinner. So, that begs the question: should an impersonator — Baldwin — go in his place?

“If they wanted me to do it I would probably do it but I’m not sure they do,” he said, noting the prestige and integrity of the organization.

Are SNL viewers done with Baldwin? The show is bringing in its biggest ratings in six years with his impression of Trump getting a starring role and usually opening the show.

But online, opinions vary.
