Actor Alec Baldwin returned to "Saturday Night Live" this week, continuing his impression of President Trump and admitting he fired former FBI Director James Comey over the bureau's investigation of Russian election interference.

Baldwin continued that, "nothing’s going to stop me because I have the Republicans in the palm of my hand," as cast member Mikey Day entered impersonating House Speaker Paul Ryan Paul Davis RyanAt indoor rally, Pence says election runs through Wisconsin Juan Williams: Breaking down the debates Peterson faces fight of his career in deep-red Minnesota district MORE to feed Trump two scoops of ice cream.
