On the Today show Monday, incoming White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer blasted SNL's edgy skit that had Baldwin mocking a contentious press conference Trump held last week.

“It was not funny; it was mean-spirited,” said Spicer. “It’s gone from being a show you could sit back and get a good laugh out of to being something that’s frankly mean and bad television.”

He added that the show is “disappointing.”

.@NBCNews is bad but Saturday Night Live is the worst of NBC. Not funny, cast is terrible, always a complete hit job. Really bad television!

Baldwin has not reponded to Trump's comments, nor has NBC or Saturday Night Live.
