Saturday Night Live got into the adult film biz this weekend.
The NBC sketch comedy series enlisted porn actress Stormy Daniels as a surprise guest for Saturday’s cold open — playing herself as the object of affection of Alec Baldwin’s Donald Trump. The 7-minute, 20-second sketch was already overstuffed with celebrity cameos: Ben Stiller reprised his turn as beleaguered Trump attorney Michael Cohen; a barely recognizable Martin Short provided an impression of the president’s former personal physician, Harold Bornstein; and Scarlett Johansson and Jimmy Fallon lent their star-power as Ivanka and Jared Kushner.

“How are you holding up in prison,” Baldwin’s Trump asks.
“I’m not in prison,” Cohen answers.
“Give it a couple weeks,” his boss deadpans.
The payoff is the surprise appearance of Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, herself. “I know you don’t believe in climate change, but a storm’s a comin’, baby,” she says, proving that comedy is not her best acting skill set.
