Live from New York, it really is Donald Trump!
After much anticipation (and plenty of controversy), the former Celebrity Apprentice star and current presidential hopeful took center stage as host of Saturday Night Live.
Sporting a signature suit with a red tie, the republican frontrunner may have appeared to be more than ready to deliver a rally speech. But as viewers quickly found out, Trump was ready to have some fun at both his and other's expense.
As soon as his monologue began, Trump addressed the critics who think he is controversial. But in true SNL style, he did it with a twist.
"People think I'm controversial, but the truth is I'm a very nice person," he explained. "I don't hold grudges against anyone like Rosie O'Donnell. She said some things about me that were hurtful and untrue. I said some things about her that were mean, but completely accurate."
Oh no, not this feud again.
"The fact is, when I showed up for rehearsal, Rosie was here to support me," he continued. "Come on out, Rosie." Lo and behold, it wasn't the former View co-host. Instead, it was current castmember Aidy Bryant. Oops! O'Donnell would later tweet, "i told the truth about him - he didnt like that."
After being confronted by other SNL stars who portrayed Trump in the past—hello, Taran Killam and Darrell Hammond—the businessman was faced with one final surprise.

So who was the man in question? Comedian Larry David, of course, who channeled Bernie Sanders just minutes earlier in the opening sketch.
"I heard if they yelled that, they would give me $5,000," David later joked in reference to recent reports claiming a Latino group offered that same amount for someone to disrupt Trump's gig as host. Guess somebody ultimately beat them to the punch.
