"Welcome to the third and final presidential debate," Tom Hanks, playing moderator Chris Wallace, said. "Tonight, it's going to be a lot like the third 'Lord of the Rings' movie. You don't really want to watch, but, hey, you've come this far."

As has become a recent tradition, Alec Baldwin and "SNL" cast member Kate McKinnon impersonated Trump and Clinton, highlighting the key quirks of their demeanor. "I'm going to start this debate in the quietest voice possible," said Baldwin's Trump, in a nod to the GOP candidate's initial subdued tone during the debate. "In the past I have been big and loud, but tonight I am a sweet little baby Trump."

"Trump's" tone soon changed, when he was asked about reproductive rights. Baldwin yelled, "They are ripping babies out of vaginas!" McKinnon's Clinton was visibly shocked, and responded, "Listen, Chris, I'm glad you raised this topic because what two better people are there to talk about women's issues? Me, a woman who has had a child and has taken birth control, and him, a man who is a child and whose face is birth control."
