Alec Baldwin: People Always Thank Me for 'The Trump Thing'

CBS's "The Late Show"

Alec Baldwin's impersonations of President Donald Trump on "Saturday Night Live" have garnered him the most attention in his 50-plus years of acting, the Smoke Room reported.

"I think more than anything it's kind of eerie," Baldwin said on CBS's "The Late Show" with Stephen Colbert about his impersonation.

"More than anything I've ever done, people come up to me and say something to me on the streets. People will walk up to me and I'll, we'll be putting Carmen [his youngest daughter] in her little stroller and someone will walk by very quietly and go 'Thank you, thank you, oh my God, thank you.' They are always thanking me for the Trump thing."

Trump has slammed Baldwin for the impersonation, and Baldwin said a month ago he would not be playing Trump for much longer because he thought viewers needed a break.

He showed Colbert how he prepared for the impersonations and discussed how he pulls the look off.

"It's totally a caricature," Baldwin said. "You just pick a few things. Like, I'm sitting in the room, and I'm going, 'Left eyebrow up, right eyebrow down, shove your face like you're trying to suck the chrome off the fender of a car.'"
