"SNIP.................



The long-time variety show airs the second episode of its 42nd season Saturday night -- just one day after a 2005 recording surfaced of Donald Trump making vulgar comments about women.

"SNL" viewers took to social media on Friday to theorize how the show -- and Alec Baldwin as Trump -- will satirize the candidate's hot mic moment.

"The prospect of Alec Baldwin playing Donald Trump tomorrow night on SNL is almost too much for me to bear," tweeted Doug Sovern, a political reporter for KCBSNews. "Imagine the writers room right now."

Following Trump's apology video late Friday, some predicted a spin on that video would make up the show's cold open.
"Is there any chance SNL's cold open is not the Trump apology video?," tweeted Sam Adams, culture reporter for Slate. &quot No, there is no chance.)"

SNL of the 70s is not the SNL of today. It's sad.

2. I usually don't watch SNL anymore, but I've set the reminder for tonight. I did see Alex last week

and think he makes a TERRIFIC Trump! I'm eagerly anticipating what SNL has on their agenda tonight. Just got a fresh drink and I'm moving over to the lounge chair.
