Might give up Trump impression on 'SNL': Alec Baldwin

Alec Baldwin says his days of impersonating US President Donald Trump on a popular long- running sketch series are numbered.
The 58-year-old actor, writer, producer and comedian said he thinks viewers may tire of his portrayal of President Trump on "Saturday Night Live."
"His policies aside, which you can hate, I thought he would have just relaxed," Baldwin told "Extra".
"The maliciousness of this White House has people worried. ... That's why I'm not going to do it much longer, the impersonation, I don't know how much more people can take it."
Baldwin adds: "Trump just overwhelmingly lacks any sportsmanship, he remains bitter and angry, and you just want to look at him and go, 'You won!'"

It's not clear how long 'SNL' plans to have Baldwin play Trump. The gig was originally supposed to last through the election, CNN reported.

Baldwin may irritate the president, but he has given "SNL" a ratings bump. NBC's sketch comedy show averages 10.6 million viewers an episode if you include people who watch within the week, according to NBC -- the show's biggest audience in 22 years.
Baldwin's representatives and NBC did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
As for whether Baldwin plans to impersonate Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner, he says he's up for it, although it's unlikely. Trump has said he's skipping the event.

"I don't know what kind of programme they're going to have," Baldwin said. "If they wanted me to do it, I would probably do it, but I'm not quite sure they'll do. I think they may have a whole other idea."
Trump, who is having a running battle with the media, announced on Twitter last month that he would be skipping the fundraiser event.
