Alec Baldwin on SNL American Airline Spoof

Alec Baldwin has been all over the news headlines lately after being kicked off an American Airline flight for refusing to turn off his device while playing the game, "Words With Friends".

This weekend, Baldwin was featured on Saturday Night Live in a spoof that poked fun at the incident.

Baldwin, posing as an airline pilot Captain Steve Rogers, came on saying he needed to apologize to Alec Baldwin.  

"It was very important for me to come here tonight," Captain Rogers said, "on behalf of everyone at American Airlines to issue an apology to Mr. Alec Baldwin."

In the Seth Meyers "Weekend Update," Seth turns to him and says, "Alec, are you sure this is the right way to handle this?"

"Keep going," Alec whispers. The audience was filled with laughter as the skit continued.

Meyers asks the Captain, "Don't phones interfere with the communications system?"

Captain Rogers responds, "Oh you don't believe that, do you Seth? Would you really get on an airplane that flew 30,000 feet in the air if you thought one kindle switch could take it down?"

"Come on," he says. "It's just a cruel joke perpetrated by the airline industry and we would have gotten away with it but Alec Baldwin was just too smart for us."

The SNL spoof aired on Saturday by poking fun at himself and making fun of the whole situation.

In this surprise appearance, some wonder was it really that funny or even necessary to continue in his slaughter against the airline?  Viewers can Watch the episode here.
