‘Baby people who look like us already live in the Upside Down,’ said 'mom' Leslie Jones.

‘Let me put it to you this way Lucas, you don’t have to go looking for scary stuff, it is going to find you,’ added 'dad' Kenan Thompson.

Hillary who? Kate McKinnon pleayed Eleven, complete with nose bleed

Leslie Jones then introduced Lin-Manuel as a substitute teacher who tried too hard to be cool and reach his students through hip-hop — a routine they had seen countless times before.

The unimpressed class predicted he was going to declare Shakespeare the best rapper ever, mocking him when he tried to play them a rap version of ‘To be or not to be.’

Lin-Manuel then told them he had been to Hollywood for seven weeks auditioning without success and was shot down when he tried to play them ‘Straight Outta Compton.’

Gross: The tone-deaf pair freaked out Lin-Manuel and Cecily Strong by holding hands and calling each other babe, before admitting they were actually brother and sister

But rather than get to enjoy herself Conway always had to interrupt breakfast, yoga and painting to dash off and constantly do CNN interviews.

‘Yes he did say it is gross to watch gay people eat pasta because he wants them to eat healthy food,’ she mugged with an armful of groceries from the store.

She even roller-skated into an interview before appearing with acupuncture needles in her face as her defense of Trump got more and more ridiculous.

Nasty: The female cast members then played members of a high-school production of The Crucible, who wanted ‘to get horny at the nastiest event in town’ - the cast party.

Next Colin Jost and Michael Che both got in on the Donald Trump-bashing act on ’Weekend Update.’

The pair took shots at Donald Trump’s ‘extremely lewd’ audio leak and his response.

‘Way to read the mood of the country. You are caught saying one of the most upsetting things we have ever heard and your response is ‘Well we all had fun’’ said Jost.

Been there: Leslie Jones then introduced Lin-Manuel as a substitute teacher who tried too hard to be cool and reach his students through hip-hop — a routine they had seen countless times before

Has the T-shirt: Lin-Manuel then told them he had been to Hollywood for seven weeks auditioning without success and was shot down when he tried to play them ‘Straight Outta Compton.’

‘I honestly thought Donald Trump had peaked on the wackadoo meter but it turns out he has got another gear, how is that even possible? Is he going for the all time record?’ laughed Che next to him.

‘At first Trump tried to brush it off as just locker room talk. Which locker room, Penn state?’ cracked Jost to shocked groans from the audience.

‘This is not how guys, or even humans talk. I’m not sure he knows how sex works. First base is kissing then you keep running into the stands and start grabbing genitals?

Again? But rather than get to enjoy herself Conway always had to interrupt breakfast, yoga and painting to dash off and constantly do CNN interviews

You win: ‘What do you want me to say? He is crazy? He is the worst person I have ever known? What do you want,’ she said eventually wearing just a bath towel and covered in bubbles

‘And you know this is not the worst thing he has ever said. This is just the worst thing he has said to Billy Bush, while mic’d on an Access Hollywood bus.’

They then made fun of Tic-Tac getting drawn into the whole debacle by running a fake advert for the mint that read: ‘Grab bad breath by the p***y.’

‘Dude, I don’t think the problem women have with sexual assault is bad breath,’ laughed Che.

Jimmy Fallon, in drag, and Tina Fey then made cameo appearances as undecided female voters from suburban Pennsylvania.

Lin-Manuel was then back in a musical production of ‘The Music Man’ playing a Wells Fargo representative, giving away multiple fake accounts and credit cards to the cast members.

‘You don’t understand the pressure I am under, these Wells Fargo guys are jackals,’ he said.

In ‘Calling Home’ Lin-Manuel played Diego who called home from North Dakota and in English and Spanish described a string of bizarre things available in the U.S, including Marshmallow Salad, odd American phrases and the overuse of carpet.

Miranda, a big Hillary Clinton supporter, mocked Trump as he danced his way through the show’s opening in the style of his hit Founding Fathers musical.

‘It is so great to be here New York City. I am fresh off a long run performing in my musical Hamilton, which fortunately is one of the biggest ever hits on Broadway, so that means most of you watching at home have no idea who I am,’ he joked self-deprecatingly.

‘But if you get to New York please come and see Hamilton, it is such a nice escape from all the craziness in our world right now.

Wife: In ‘Melania Moments’ Trump’s wife, played by Cecily Strong, woke up after dreaming that her replacement had ‘just been born in rural Latvia’ and she had to find her and ‘vanish her to the woods, not for my sake, but for hers.’

Language barrier: In ‘Calling Home’ Lin-Manuel played Diego who called home from North Dakota and in English and Spanish described a string of bizarre things available in the U.S, including Marshmallow Salad, odd American phrases and the overuse of carpet.

‘It is about two famous New York politicians locked in a dirty, ugly, mud-slinging political campaign - escapism.

‘Anyway, I can’t believe I am up here right now. When I was just a kid growing up in Washington Heights in Upper Manhattan I dreamed about standing right here on this stage.

‘When I told people I was hosting SNL, they were all like ‘Well are you going to do a song from Hamilton?’ And I was like ‘No, it’s Saturday Night Live.’

Olden days: Lin-Manuel was then back in a musical production of ‘The Music Man’ playing a Wells Fargo representative, giving away multiple fake accounts and credit cards to the cast members

Cast number: ‘You don’t understand the pressure I am under, these Wells Fargo guys are jackals,’ he said.

Ouch: The bank recently acme under fire for creating fake accounts to meet sales targets

‘I want to do all the SNL stuff, all the stuff an SNL host gets to do, you know, it takes seven years to write a show so I don't know when I am going to be back here.’

But then a hip-hop beat started playing and he brilliantly rapped the remainder of his introduction telling the audience ‘I am not going to throw away my shot.’

As he strolled into the audience he was joined by dancers and then made his way into the back corridors of the 30 Rock studios, walking past dancing girls.

Yuge: They were interrupted with the breaking news of Trump's latest hot mic gaffe, with Alec Baldwin reprising the role to explain himself

In the bag: McKinnon's Hillary was delighted with the own goal

There he stopped by a signed picture of Donald Trump, whom he described as ‘this piece of sh…’ before he put his hand over his mouth as the audience roared its approval.

Lin-Manuel then stopped to dance by the picture of Trump and he turned him into a Hamilton lyric, singing ’Well he never gon’ be president, never gon’ be president now’ to more cheers.

Further down the corridor he was stopped by SNL chief Lorne Michaels, who asked him if he could get him Hamilton tickets.

'I'll do a matinee?' Further down the corridor he was stopped by SNL chief Lorne Michaels, who asked him if he could get him Hamilton tickets

‘I’ll see what I can do, no promises though,’ he replied.

'I'll do a matinee?' Michaels called after him. 

Lin-Manuel then made his way back to the stage where he added: ‘As long as I remember to vote this November I am not throwing away my shot.’
