Prepare to cringe.
Governor Kathy Hochul joined forces with Alec Baldwin, known for his role in “Glengarry Glen Ross,” in a comedic video that parodied former President Donald Trump. This skit, presented at the annual state house correspondents’ event in Albany, drew criticism for its execution on Wednesday.
In this satirical piece, Hochul portrays herself fielding a late-night call from Trump, who insists on renaming New York landmarks after himself.
Baldwin, channeling his well-known Saturday Night Live impersonation of Trump, begins the call with, “Kit-Kat, it’s your favorite King,” adopting a disheveled and exaggerated persona.
Trump, portrayed by Baldwin, inquires, “You know that big, beautiful park in Manhattan?”
Hochul, seemingly having filmed her segment separately from Baldwin, responds, “Central Park?”
“Cen-TRUMP Park,” he corrects her.
“Yeah, that’s a hard pass, Mr. President,” she says.
“How about another spot that makes me think of you?” she says — then suggests the widely loathed Port Authority Bus Terminal, which has been dubbed a filthy, confusing “hell hole.”
The video was played at the Legislative Correspondents’ Association, New York’s equivalent of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Tuesday.
The video also poked fun at the Epstein files, inflation and Trump’s fraught relationship with the media — it even gives a shout out to the The Post and its Albany reporter for hard-hitting coverage of capital and budget disfunction.
While the video was well received by the audience, with some laughter, critics online called it “cringe-worthy” and accused her of “pandering.”
“This is how you spend the time that New York taxpayers pay you to “work”? one observer wrote on X.
“How much did this cringeworthy pandering cost us, top to bottom, start to finish?”
Assemblyman Jarret Gandolfo (R-Nassau), who attended the event, told The Post,”I thought Baldwin’s Epstein joke was ironic…wasn’t he in the Epstein files?”
“Regardless, he wasn’t even the best Trump impersonator in the show,” he added.
At the event, Hochul entered the stage through a fog machine and joked she was on her “Wrath of Kath” tour.
The annual event put on by the Albany press corps raised $23,000 for the regional food bank of northeastern New York last year, and was expected to raise a similar amount this year.
