STAGE TUBE: Bryan Cranston Brings Walter White into the SNL vs. Trump Ring

America's favorite meth-making high school teacher, Walter White (Bryan Cranston), appeared on SNL's cold open with Jake Tapper (Beck Bennett) and Kellyanne Conway (Kate McKinnon) last night to announce his return to the land of the living for the most unlikely-well, in this current political climate, perhaps not the most unlikely-of reasons: Donald Trump has nominated him to be the head of the national Drug Enforcement Administration. According to White, he and Trump "Agree: it's time to 'Make America Cook Again.' [They] wanna fill this nation with red, white, and a whole lotta blue." When discussing resistance he might face to his appointment considering his lack of political experience, White acquiesced that Congress "might get hung up on the fact that [he] faked his own death; [he's] only the third person in the Trump cabinet to do that."

Bryan Cranston's Broadway debut in "All the Way" brought him Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Theater World Awards, as well as a Tony. He previously won three consecutive Emmy®Awards, a Golden Globe Award and threeSCREEN ACTORS GUILD AWARDS for his portrayal of Walter White on "Breaking Bad"; he also won an Emmy® and a Producers Guild of America Award as a producer on the series. On the big screen, Cranston shared a Screen Actors Guild Award as part of the cast of the Oscar®-winning 2012 film "Argo," and starred in the hit "Godzilla." His latest film is Jay Roach's "Trumbo," in which he stars in the title role of Dalton Trumbo, the successful Hollywood screenwriter whose career came to an end when he was blacklisted in the 1940s McCarthy era for being a Communist. Cranston recently received an Oscar nomination for his role in the film.
