“Saturday Night Live” on March 30, 2019 featured a cold open with Robert DeNiro as special counsel Robert Mueller III, Alec Baldwin as President Donald Trump, Aidy Bryant as William Barr and Kate McKinnon as Rudy Giuliani.

Mike Huckabee started it. Billy Baldwin escalated it.

Former Arkansas governor Huckabee tried promoting his own television show by referencing Alec Baldwin’s statement that he is “so done” playing President Donald Trump on SNL. Huckabee tweeted “Good news for viewers who are “so done” with “SNL” & unfunny vicious Trump bashing instead of comedy.”

He continued with, “For refreshing variety, try my show instead tonight!”

Huckabee has a slot on the televagelist channel Trinity Broadcasting Network.

Alec’s brother, Billy, made it personal by attacking Huckabee’s family and his faith.

Huckabee’s daughter is White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Alec Baldwin has been portraying Trump on the late-night comedy series since 2016.
