Alec Baldwin to Host 'Saturday Night Live,' Calls it 'a Big Deal'

Actor Alec Baldwin will host Saturday Night Live this weekend, and he said in a promo for the show it will be a "big deal."

Baldwin has played President Donald Trump on the weekly comedy show since the presidential campaign. Baldwin himself said last year he hoped Trump would lose the election, but after Trump won Baldwin has continued to impersonate him.

This weekend will mark the first time since 2011 Baldwin has hosted the show. He has hosted it 16 times, tied with Steve Martin. He will break the record on Saturday. 

The comedic promo shows highlights of Baldwin's past appearances on "Saturday Night Live" before alluding to his role as Trump.

"The full of fate is undeniable," Baldwin said.
