With no hot mic tape controversy or a presidential debate to mock, Saturday Night Live created its own political scenario for the latest episode featuring Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump and Kate McKinnon as Hillary Clinton during a joint interview on CNN. 

Baldwin, who returned to reprise his role as Trump, and McKinnon gave flawless impersonations of the presidential nominees during the show's cold open, as CNN's Erin Burnett was depicted by SNL cast-member Cecily Strong.

The hilarious sketch showed McKinnon portraying a frustrated Clinton as the CNN anchor kept trying to focus on her latest email controversy. 

In an attempt to take the attention away from herself, an incredulous Clinton launched accusations about Trump claiming the FBI wants him to be elected president, how he loves Russia and President Vladimir Putin and also knows members of the Ku Klux Klan.

The audience was left in a fit of laughs each time that Baldwin's Trump denied all of those things before planting a sweet kisses on a fake FBI agent, Russia's president and a member of the KKK that all emerged next to him during their joint interview on CNN.

At the top of the sketch, Burnett asks Trump how he is feeling so far.

'Really, really great, Erin,' said Trump. 'They're still buying it.'

He was then asked how he's able to keep up the energy to complete so many campaign stops per day.   

'My deep love for America and a really, really big handful of uppers that were meant for race horses,' Trump replied.

Then the topic of Clinton's emails came up, as Trump said, 'These emails are very bad for you, Hillary.' 

He quickly said that's why uses Twitter, a website where he can write things that no one will ever read.

'Mr. Trump, everyone can see your tweets,' Burnett said.

McKinnon's Clinton accused the FBI of trying to help get Baldwin's Trump elected president, as the agency announced they were reopening the investigation 11 days ahead of the election

Baldwin's Trump said, the FBI is not trying to help him, before saying 'the FBI doesn't like me and what even is the FBI?' Then a fake FBI agent emerged next to Trump, who planted a gentle kiss on his lips

'Really? And I'm still in this thing? America, you must really hate this lady,' said Trump. 

Burnett then noted how 'it's highly unusual for the FBI to make announcement so close to the election,' in reference to how the agency announced it had reopened the probe into Clinton's private email server.

Clinton yelled that she thinks the FBI is 'trying to get Trump elected president' and questioned if 'everyone was insane'.

Trump cut her off and said, the FBI is not trying to help him, before saying 'the FBI doesn't like me and what even is the FBI?'

Then an actor portraying a fake FBI agent emerged next to Trump, who told him he was getting coffee and asked him if he needed anything. 

Baldwin's Trump replied no, as he planted a gentle kiss on his lips.

A frustrated Clinton then took the moment to point out to Burnett how Trump just kissed the FBI agent, but the CNN anchor said 'lets get back to her emails,' blatantly ignoring his actions.

Clinton accused Trump of loving Russia, which he adamantly denied, before President Vladimir Putin pops up next to him. Trump also gave him a kiss on the lips

Then Clinton called out NBC's 'The Apprentice' producer Mark Burnett asking for the 'racist' tapes of Trump to be released, implying that a tape of him saying the n-word exists.

The CNN anchor said there is 'no proof the tape exists' and Clinton cut her off to say she's 'crazy and it does exist.' 

The Donald then agreed with Clinton for once, and said it does exist. 

Clinton cuts him off to claim how the billionaire has the entire Russian government helping to release information about her, which is a claim the politician has actually made this election season.

'Russia loves Donald and Donald loves Putin,' McKinnon's Clinton triumphantly declared.

Trump adamantly denied knowing Putin, who then popped up next to him.

Trump then planted a kiss on Putin's lips who exited the scene, but not before Clinton pointed that out and the CNN anchor once again ignored it and said let's get back to the emails.

The real estate mogul declared that the Democrat's email scandal is bigger than any other scandal ever to have happened in the country. 

Clinton also accused The Donald of knowing KKK members and being endorsed for president by the organization,  which he again denied. Then an actor dressed in full KKK garb emerged

Trump lifted his hood before leaning over and giving him a quick smooch on the lips 

Surprisingly, Burnett disagreed and said that's not true. 

Since that was the first time Burnett disagreed with Trump, he then went on to accuse her of being in a lesbian relationship with Clinton.

'You're a les (sic) with Clinton aren't you?' he said. 

Baldwin's Trump then said, 'no one loves the lb (sic) community more than I do', referring to the LBGTQ community. 

Clinton chimed in about how he denies knowing KKK members and how he was endorsed by the organization. 

Moments later an actor dressed as a KKK member in full garb emerged next to Trump, who lifted his hood and kissed him on the lips.

'Can we talk about how he kissed the KKK?' Clinton asked.

Baldwin and McKinnon then abruptly stopped their skit and broke character to say they both feel 'gross' and how 'mean' this election cycle is

They then ran out of the SNL studio together and into the streets of Manhattan 

'Yeah, but we're almost out of time,' Burnett said. 'Let's get back to your emails.'

Clinton, who was wearing a typical pant suit, took a moment to give a final speech about why she should be elected president, before trump cut her off and said she should be in jail.

He added that he'd assign a special prosecutor to put her in jail if he was to be elected president. 

Baldwin and McKinnon then abruptly stopped their skit and broke character to say they both feel 'gross' and how 'mean' this election cycle is before running out of the studio. 

They both ran around Manhattan to to hug strangers, before returning back to the studio.

Baldwin and McKinnon returned back to the SNL stage to encourage viewers to vote on Tuesday, saying 'none of this will have mattered if you don't vote.'.

While out in the Times Square area, both McKinnon and Baldwin hugged complete strangers

The Oscar nominated actor took a moment on the stage where he decided to 'brag' about himself to let viewers know who he is, as he was joined by comedians Leslie Jones, Sasheer Zamata, Cecily Strong and Vanessa Bayer. 

During the last Weekend Update sketch before the election, Colin Jost and Michael Che recapped how the FBI announced they were reopening their investigation into Clinton's private email scandal.

They also noted Anthony Weiner's involvement in how the FBI's investigation was reopened due to his estranged wife possibly using his laptop to do official work. 

And for a surprise appearance, members of the Chicago Cubs appeared during Saturday's episode along with actor Bill Murray

'Because a Weiner always pops up at the worst possible time,' Jost joked. 

Later on during the Weekend Update sketch, Che said that no matter who people vote for during the election, people should not allow the media to 'divide' the country, as 'everyone is the same.'

Singer Solange also took the stage to perform her hit songs, 'Cranes in the Sky' and ‘Don’t Touch My Hair’ from her latest album 'A Seat at the Table.' 

And for a surprise appearance, members of the Chicago Cubs appeared during Saturday's episode along with actor Bill Murray.
