Offering up a glimpse of the sketch comedy show's upcoming episode, "Saturday Night Live" has released a promo for the 37th season premiere airing on September 24th.
Alec Baldwin is set to host the long-running program for a staggering 16th time while joined by musical act Radiohead.
Leading up to the season premiere airing, Alec was asked if his 1994 comment about being able to run the ship with his eyes closed still holds true, to which he replied, "'SNL' and I are like a well-oiled machine. I find the one issue is to save your energy. It's an intense week of prep. By Saturday night at 11:30 (Eastern) I want to say, 'Can I just lie down and you can start without me?' But they throw cold water on me and slap me across the face."
Also questioned on whether he thinks the "on-your-toes" aspect of "SNL" has been good training for his political aspirations, the 53-year-old answered, "On a serious note, that's something I've always thought about doing. ? When you do a show everybody likes, when it's successful critically, it's almost like everyone forgets everything else that you do. A lot of what's done on "30 Rock" and "SNL" is silly and vulgar and outrageous. When you go into public office, you've got to say to yourself, and to the public: now begins the period where what I say is on the record as a public official as opposed to a public figure. When you get paid from taxpayers and you have your finger on a budget that is taxpayer money, there's a different responsibility than what I do now. If I were to get in politics, I always envision people replaying scenes in an attempt to characterize me and insubstantiate me. You have to kind of scrub all that off you and present yourself with a fresh coat of paint."
