He is the eldest and arguably the best-known of the Baldwin brothers (the other three, in descending order of age, are Creator/DanielBaldwin, Creator/WilliamBaldwin, and Creator/StephenBaldwin). In 2011, he passed Creator/SteveMartin as the new record holder for most episodes of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' hosted and became famous (or notorious, depending on your political views) from 2016 to 2020 for appearing on ''SNL'' as former President UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump.

* CreatorBacklash: He’s made no secret that he despises playing Donald Trump, and only took the gig because he never dreamed it would actually last beyond the 2016 election. One sketch even has him break character to mention “my personal nightmare of playing the President.”

* LeslieNielsenSyndrome: He has seldom been seen near dramatic works as of late, thanks to ''Series/ThirtyRock'' and his frequent hosting gigs on ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' (hosting so many times that he dethroned Creator/SteveMartin as the show's most frequent host, and essentially becoming a FakeGuestStar in Season 42 when Creator/DonaldTrump, whom he'd been portraying in skits surrounding the presidential election, actually ''won''). Heck, he's even doing comedy commercials.
