SNL's Trump appoints 'Breaking Bad' star Walter White as DEA head: 'Time to make America cook again

NBC's "Saturday Night Live" spoofed President-elect Donald Trump's DEA chief appointment over the weekend during a skit, while mocking other potential cabinet nominees.

Saturday's episode opened as the actors portrayed an interview between CNN's Jake Tapper — played by Beck Bennett — and Trump senior adviser Kellyanne Conway, played by Kate McKinnon.

Bennett's "Tapper" begins by questioning "Conway" over Trump's latest potential cabinet picks, which have left many scratching their head. First, "Tapper" asked about Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt, who has been tapped to head the EPA. Next, he asked about Hardee's CEO Andy Puzder, who is a leading candidate to be secretary of labor.

"Kellyanne, it’s almost like Mr. Trump appoints these people specifically to undermine the very agencies they head. Are these bad picks?" SNL's Tapper asks.

"No, Jake, they are not bad,” Conway replied with a grin. “They are alt-good."

Then breaking news hit the set: that Trump had just named a "high school science teacher from New Mexico by the name of Walter White" to be his DEA chief.

Of course, White — portrayed by actor Bryan Cranston — was the infamous lead character in the hit TV show "Breaking Bad," known for becoming a kingpin methamphetamine cook after being diagnosed with cancer.

And according to Conway, White came "highly recommended" from Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon.

During the rest of the skit, White explained that Bannon found him under the comments section at Breitbart — the news website Bannon used to chair — and spouted off many famous lines from "Breaking Bad" in response to questions from Tapper.

The skit concluded as White agreed with Conway — that he is indeed a supporter of small business.

"It’s time to make America cook again," White said, referencing meth production.

“We want to fill this nation with red, white, and a whole lot of blue," he added, a tribute to the famous blue meth he cooked in "Breaking Bad."
