What's the big deal?
He is such a breath of fresh air isn't he? No political correctness there.

Well it should be entertaining if for no other reason than pro-immigration groups have offered five grand for someone to yell "Trump's a racist!" during the show.

Will NBC put the show on 7 second delay so no one at home hears it? Will activists try to storm the studio? Will technicians and stagehands boycott the show?

All kinds of fun and games are possibly in store. We know Trump is a ham, so expect lots of mugging for the camera. I'm sure there will be more than a couple skits with direct attacks on him.

Maybe he plays Meygn Kelly in one of the bits?

Does Kanye show up and say "Donald Trump hates Mexican people!"

Just hoping that they give him a little bit of a break, since he's putting himself out there to be ridiculed.

So Trump lives to fight another day. Clever to have Larry David heckle Trump saying he wanted to collect the $5,000.

No wildly funny bits, but I don't think the writers banged him up too badly. The final skit with the 'porn' stars pretending to do a Trump commercial was kind of good.

Obvious 'shots' at Trump were the drunken uncle character. I guess he was meant to represent the Trump demographic. Second one was the dad as music star skit, where Trump comes in at the end acting like a fast talking hustler. Guess they were trying to portray him as a huckster. Well, all politicians are asking you to buy their schtick, so no surprises there.

The Donald understands publicity though, and he seemed to take it all in stride. We'll see if he calls it unfair tomorrow, or if the cast and crew suddenly start leaking stories about him being a douche to work with.
