Saturday Night Live made fun of recurring guest star Alec Baldwin a day after his arrest for allegedly assaulting a man during a dispute over a parking spot.
The jab came during a parody of coverage of the Central American migrant caravan heading for the U.S. border on the Fox News program, The Ingraham Angle, featuring Kate McKinnon as host Laura Ingraham.
The report -- which also featured analysis by Cecily Strong as Jeanine Pirro and Kenan Thompson as David Clarke -- ended with Ingraham stating, "When we come back, an update from disgraced, former actor Alec Baldwin, seen here molesting a young Boy Scout."
A photo of Baldwin in an old SNL sketch with Adam Sandler then flashed on the screen. Baldwin and Sandler are both wearing scout hats and lying in sleep bags at a campsite.
The sketch has already gotten nearly 500,000 views on YouTube.
Baldwin frequently plays U.S. President Donald Trump on SNL. He did not appear in this weekend's edition.
He has denied via Twitter allegations that he punched a man on a New York street Friday morning, but police confirmed he was arrested and is expected to face an assault charge.
