[Deuce Deuce]

Perfect.

 

[Platy]

They should go full Back to the Future 2 and Rosie plays EVERYONE in the office

 

[Seiryoden]

Make it so.

 

[Ducarmel]

Let the shipping begin, come on SNL go there have rosie kiss trump.

 

[alba]

Except Kellyanne Conway should be played by Denis Leary.

Dear god, we need this SO BAD.

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

Except Kellyanne Conway should be played by Denis Leary.

Or Howard Stern

 

[Muppet of a Man]

This would be amazing. These thin skin fucks would die inside.

 

[G0523]

It's a win-win either way. I love that Bannon is being portrayed as Death Himself. But on the other hand, Rosie O'Donnell would do quite well, AND she would piss off Trump hard. Go for it.

 

[Calderc]

Is the woman who played the bird lady in Home Alone 2 still alive? She would make a good Bannon.

 

[D i Z]

It would be an epic dig at Trump. Could have been better served as a last minute reveal though. Dude would have been livid if it came out of nowhere. The Tweets would have been pure mania.

 

[Ambient80]

Why does he hate Rosie anyway? Didn't start following celebrity news until election 2016

She has a vagina and once said something that wasn't verbal fellatio about Trump. He has held a grudge ever since.

Or Howard Stern

I didn't realize how much I wanted this.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I wonder how the current cast feels about key political targets being played by part-timers.

 

[M-PG71C]

Make Trump see Rosie O Donnell in his mind every time he sees Bannon from now on.
There's no one he hates more than Rosie O Donnell.

There is something fucking amazing about this. Let's hope it happens!

 

[Snaku]

Cmon Lorne Michaels, make this happen. This has been SNL's destiny from the very beginning, to ether this administration into implosion.

 

[PaleFolklore]

Surely they can find someone better than Rosie. She doesn't have the comedic ability to do this justice.

 

[archreaper93]

I'm torn. On one hand, this would piss off the Trump administration.

On the other, Steve Bannon as the Grim Reaper is amazing.

 

[Zach]

Surely they can find someone better than Rosie. She doesn't have the comedic ability to do this justice.

But she has the history of being relentlessly attacked by the president. I'm sure she could bring some genuine hot fire.

I say make it happen.

 

[Stinkles]

Surely they can find someone better than Rosie. She doesn't have the comedic ability to do this justice.

She was a big deal back when Madonna had human skin.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

I'm torn. On one hand, this would piss off the Trump administration.

On the other, Steve Bannon as the Grim Reaper is amazing.

Rosie taking off the Grim Reaper mask to reveal as Bannon underneath...now THAT is amazing.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Surely they can find someone better than Rosie. She doesn't have the comedic ability to do this justice.

Doesn't matter. The mere idea of her playing the role is funny enough to make up for any possible shortcomings. Trump hates her more than he hates China. It would kill him.

 

[Generalpsyduck]

Or Howard Stern

She should be played by skelator from masters of the universe.

 

[Enzom21]

Or Howard Stern

Howard is a pussy when it comes to Trump, he will not criticism anything he has done.
Shit, he hasn't said a damn thing about Bannon and he jumps all over any hint of anti-Semitism.

 

[eagledare]

I tweeted about this and I alerted the appropriate parties (I think, the internet is hard) if anyone wants to lazily retweet for great justice:

#SNL is not how you would alert SNL. Rosie has already acknowledged it. It would be @nbcsnl.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Probably depends. Alec Baldwin as Trump was Tina Feys idea so that makes sense. Rosie just wants to do it because she hates Trump. It isn't funny when you force it. The Spicer skit came out of no where and was generally funny. Rosie hasn't been in anything in forever and tossing her in to piss him off isn't funny. It will just cause Trump to say they are very bias.

 

[Burai]

Can we get Meryl Streep involved somehow?

 

[Extra Sauce]

No, part of what made McCarthy such a delightfully damaging choice for the psyche of Trump supporters is that many of them loved her in the first place.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

WWE better get on that rematch between them.

TWICE IN A LIFETIME

 

[Falchion]

Please no, Rosie is awful.

 

[whyamihere]

Do it. DOOOOO ITTTT

It would be funny because she could be a dead ringer for Bannon, it would be a perfect stunt casting, AND because it'd get under Trump's skin.

Trump will say they are biased regardless. He's just noise.

 

[Linkura]

CNN has put together a timeline history for you.

Trump is such a petty, thin-skinned moron. Rosie was right in her statement that started the "feud."

When was the last she was in anything? I don't think shoehorning people into SNL because it pisses off Trump. Don't turn SNL into every actress or actor that Trump hated get a spot. Just because they look like someone doesn't mean she should be Bannon.

Just checked she was in a bunch of things I don't watch. Still I don't think she should be in it just because.

She's been busy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosie_O'Donnell#Television

 

[Rentahamster]

Interesting premise, but a medium chance of backfire, I think. They should go for it.

 

[rjinaz]

Please no, Rosie is awful.

Rosie is the best possible choice simply because of how much Trump hates her. It's not just about the perfect impersonation.

 

[Violence Jack]

I don't care who she plays, knowing that the site of Rosie mocking Trump's administration would make his blood pressure rise off the charts is enough for me. I don't like Rosie either, but that shit would be glorious.

 

[Szu]

Except Kellyanne Conway should be played by Denis Leary.

No way, he can't pull it off. For one thing, he looks good in a dress.

 

[Bronx-Man]

See South Park, THIS is how you do Trump Satire

b-b-but that's too hard for comedians, no one wants to see that

she was in curb a season or two ago

when is the last time anyone on the snl cast was in anything

 

[rashbeep]

The Baldwin portrayal is perfect - I don't think it could be improved upon.

Trump being portrayed by a woman (especially by one he loathes) would probably drive him insane.

 

[platocplx]

They should keep on emasculating these guys lmao. its great.

 

[smokeymicpot]

she was in curb a season or two ago

when is the last time anyone on the snl cast was in anything

Honestly forgot she was on Curb.

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

She's incredibly talented and funny so she'd kill it. Pissing off Trump would just be icing on the cake. I'm pretty sure Bannon likes Skeletor Bannon anyway so get rid of that.

 

[RedHill]

I need a White Chicks sequel with the Wayans and a few others portraying the female trumpets

 

[diaspora]

Have her as Bannon with Trump on a leash as a gimp like Channing Tatum in This is the End.

 

[Surfinn]

Oddly don't want this to happen.

Why?

EDIT:

If it's good, who cares?

 

[Hale-XF11]

Someone on reddit had the brilliant idea of having Alec play Trump watching and reacting to an episode of SNL where Rosy plays Trump.

 

[antonz]

She's incredibly talented and funny so she'd kill it. Pissing off Trump would just be icing on the cake. I'm pretty sure Bannon likes Skeletor Bannon anyway so get rid of that.

I agree. Bannon portrayed as Death is probably something he really enjoys. I mean he said straight up in an interview darth vader, satan etc. all that is great.

The current portrayal plays into exactly what he enjoys. Turn him into Rosie O'Donnell and have her shit all over him and that is the way to go.

 

[archreaper93]

Rosie taking off the Grim Reaper mask to reveal as Bannon underneath...now THAT is amazing.

There we go.
