Alec Baldwin Fires Back at Comedian Rob Schneider After He Criticizes ‘Saturday Night Live’

Actor 🎬Alec Baldwin defended “📺Saturday Night Live” after comedian Rob Schneider criticized the show.

Baldwin took to Instagram to react to Schneider’s comment about the moment he knew the show was over.

“I guess it must be an incredibly slow news cycle if we’re talking about Rob Schneider’s thoughts about Kate McKinnon playing Hillary Clinton so many years ago,” Baldwin said.

He continued, “We started that in 2017 … 2016 during the campaign and then in November he was elected unbelievably and we did the show I did for those four years.”

Baldwin explained that he is from “the school … where you criticize someone’s judgment and you leave out the idea that you had no problem with their judgment when they hired you … and put you on the show?”

Baldwin acknowledged that Schneider is “funny.”

He went on to suggest that in the Trump era “it’s tough for conservatives,” adding “My god it must be agony because you got this guy that’s taken over the party. That must be tough for the Rob Schneiders of the world that your man is a maniac.”

Defending the show, Baldwin said, “They must be doing something right.”

Schneider made the comments about the show during an interview with The Blaze’s Glenn Beck, as IJR reported.
