Alec Baldwin was only expected to make a few appearances on SNL this season, but with Donald Trump winning the presidential election, he may get bumped up to a featured player.

Baldwin would be a welcome addition to the cast, but if he chooses to take a pass for the artistic reasons, Stephen Baldwin is just a phone call away.
