While we’d miss Steve Bannon portrayed as the Grim Reaper on Saturday Night Life, the thought of Rosie O’Donnell taking on the challenge is certainly an inviting one.
Politico reports Melissa McCarthy’s portrayal of Sean Spicer managed to get under Donald Trump‘s distractingly orange skin for pretty much the worst reason you could possibly imagine: “It was Spicer’s portrayal by a woman that was most problematic in the president’s eyes,” a source close to the situation told the site.

In fact, Trump reportedly feels the portrayal is “not considered helpful for Spicer’s longevity in the grueling, high-profile job in which he has struggled to strike the right balance between representing an administration that considers the media the ‘opposition party,’ and developing a functional relationship with the press.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
With his never-not-troubling view of women in mind, imagine if Rosie O’Donnell happened to take on the role of Bannon. Trump and O’Donnell have had an ongoing, very public, and way heated feud going back to at least 2006, when Trump told People, “Rosie’s a loser. A real loser. I look forward to taking lots of money from my nice fat little Rosie.”
In fact, he insults her pretty much every opportunity he gets:
.@Cher attacked @MittRomney. She is an average talent who is out of touch with reality. Like @Rosie O'Donnell, a total loser!

Let’s all pray to the gods of casting to make this a thing.

Alec Baldwin and Melissa McCarthy can just x out everything they’re doing for the next four years and just play these characters… this crap just writes itself.

Agreed. Adding Rosie as Bannon would complete the perfect comedy hat-trick. Stop with the Grim Reaper. Big ass Bannon likely gets off on the comparison, relishing the notion that others find him frightening and intimidating. Far better to puncture his bloated ego by parodying his equally bloated blubbery bod and hateful heart – courtesy of an outspoken, liberal lesbian loathed to the extreme by dumpy donnie. Rosie as Bannon would totally torment both the latter and the orange pig currently stinking up the WH. Score a direct hit!

This would be so exquisitely perfect
DCguy
Does Bannon call Trump “Reek” or “Princess Tiny Hands”?
BriBri
She should have nuts implanted for the skit. She looks like a dude anyway, a perfect specimen for the change to alternative genitalia.
Neville
There’s no need to insult Rosie like that, at all.
NateOcean
Does anybody remember John Goodman’s devestating spot on portrayal of Linda Tripp?
Yes! We need more of these!
Hussain-TheCanadian
Please do it Rosie!!! SNL’s skits will be set for the next 4 years, and it will be funny – Someone call Chapelle too, he can play Carson.
GayEGO
You go girl! Rosie can do an excellent job imitating Bannon on SNL and we need the laughs!

With all respect to rosie, it would be funny to see Bannon plated by a fat d*ke. Sorry, rosie.

it would be funny to see Bannon plated by a f*t d*ke. Sorry, rosie.

Go for it Rosie. Nothing should get under his skin more than to see you on national tv. The entire government is a total joke and if you can do something to get under the orange mans skin you know you have to do it.

President Trump and White House Chief of Staff Steve Bannon = POWER.
SNL = Still Not Funny.
Bob
SNL is great. Even better laughing at our current government .
And POWER?? Really? The batteries in my dildo have more power, and they’re almost dead..
CaliKyle
Not only is SNL funny but its also doing “the Lord’s work” by tormenting, irritating and bothering the holy hell out of dumb donnie dumpster and his posse of pinheads.

I love Rosie. But if her reputation for being difficult to work with is true then maybe they should go with John Goodman for the long haul. BTW, I thought the fued with Rosie and Trump was over. It just kept getting brought up in the media….and in debates.
John
Is SNL even relevant any more? When supposedly “big” stars are unemployed they take a step backwards to a program that was only good prior to 1980. Though I do not like our political situation, I don’t waller in the childish, bitter, name calling BS. Geesh, I miss the years when adults were in charge.
Mo Bro
Well, she certainly does possess an uncanny resemblance to obese slobs.
Bob LaBlah
Be patient. She will E’F this job up too just like she did all the rest. She won’t last a month because her personality won’t allow it.
Mo Bro
@Bob:
Yep. Much like Hillary Clinton, her hubris and elitism get in her way and eventually bring her down every time.
Neonegro
John Goodman is too attractive.
Rosie is the only man ugly enough to play Bannon.
scotty
i think roseanne Barr could pull it off.
gonna take a thick chick yes sir it will
