Walter White joins the Trump cabinet on 'SNL,' and he has the perfect role
"It's almost like Mr. Trump appoints these people specifically to undermine the very agencies they head," said CNN's Jake Tapper, as played by Saturday Night Live's Beck Bennett.
By that logic, who did the show predict Trump would hire to lead the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)? None other than former high school chemistry teacher and meth cook, Walter White.
Bryan Cranston reprised his Breaking Bad role as White in Saturday's cold open, appearing alongside Bennett and Kate McKinnon as Trump aide Kellyanne Conway.
There were plenty of jokes at the expense of Trump's cabinet and some great Breaking Bad call-backs.

In the sketch, it's clear Trump's administration had some trouble tracking White down. Even though opportunities keep knocking at his door, he has a rule about that:
"It's time to make America cook again," Cranston said as Walter White. "We want to fill this nation with red, white and a whole lotta blue."
