During last night's cold open on Saturday Night Live, FOX News' Laura Ingraham (Kate McKinnon) talks to Judge Jeanine Pirro (Cecily Strong) and David Clarke (Kenan Thompson) about a caravan of illegal immigrants headed for the U.S. border.

In the sketch, McKinnon made a dig at Alec Baldwin, the show's Trump impersonator, saying, "Let's take a break. When we come back, an update from disgraced former actor Alec Baldwin, seen here molesting a young Boy Scout."

A still of a shirtless Baldwin from an old SNL sketch with Adam Sandler as a Boy Scout flashed on the screen.

Watch the full sketch below!

Saturday Night Live (SNL) is an American late-night live television variety show created by Lorne Michaels and developed by Dick Ebersol. The show premiered on NBC on October 11, 1975, under the original title NBC's Saturday Night. The show's comedy sketches, which parody contemporary culture and politics, are performed by a large and varying cast of repertory and newer cast members. Each episode is hosted by a celebrity guest, who usually delivers an opening monologue and performs in sketches with the cast as with featured performances by a musical guest. An episode normally begins with a cold open sketch that ends with someone breaking character and proclaiming, "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!", properly beginning the show.
