Baldwin said his career might be over after a prop gun he was holding during rehearsals fired a live round killing Halyna Hutchins in 2021, leading to him being charged with involuntary manslaughter, which he denied.

He returned to SNL this week, a show he has hosted a record 17 times.

He opened this week's episode as Fox News host Bret Baier, in a parody of his recent interview with Democratic US presidential nominee Kamala Harris.

Alongside Maya Rudolph as Harris, the pair poked fun at the combative interview.
