'I'm trying to show you I got range': Leslie Jones adds blonde eyebrows and wig in an attempt to play President Trump during SNL skit

Leslie Jones thinks she could play President Donald Trump.

During a sketch on Saturday Night Live, the 49-year-old comedienne talked to the camera about taking on the role which Alec Baldwin has done many times before on the sketch show. 

In the clip, the TV and movie star is seen studying Trump's press conferences. Later, she adds blonde eyebrows and a wig to resemble the former Apprentice star. 'I'm trying to show you I got range,' she says.

Leslie and SNL co-star Bobby Moynihan watched Alec shoot his bit from offstage.

'Man, Alec is so good,' noted Leslie.

'The best man. He's got so much material for the next four years,' Bobby responded. 

When Leslie questioned if he would continue portraying Trump, Bobby asked who would replace him. 

In another to-camera piece, Leslie said she 'never dreamed that she could play the president,' but noted that Melissa McCarthy played Sean Spicer. 

Next, she is spotted in an edit bay, watching clips of President Trump giving a speech.

She began to mimic his voice and hand movements.  

'Huge. Huge,' she began. 'Drain the swap of tremendous Muslims,' she added attempting to poke fun at the President by combining narratives from his campaign to create a false statement. 

Her obsession with landing the role began to affect a romantic relationship she was involved in. 

In the next scene, the Ghostbusters star appears to be in the study zone while sitting on her boyfriend's lap. 

He begs her to sleep with him, but she refuses citing that they had had sex twice that day and that she has to practice.

Next, she's sitting in a make-up chair transforming into Trump, as her SNL co-stars question her choice to play the president.

'It's about giving America what it wants!' she said.

As she's getting the final touches on her outfit, SNL co-star Vanessa Bayer tried to talk her out of it. 

'A woman, playing Trump? It's an interesting idea Leslie. But trust me, it'll never fly.'

Leslie throws the middle finger at her as she walks away. Then, it was time for her big meeting. 

The 49-year-old stepped into the office of SNL creator Lorne Michaels and began to chat with him as President Trump.

'Not gonna happen Leslie,' he said firmly. 

She then turns to the documentary cameramen - who are not seen on camera - and asks if they can leave. 

Then, she's seen attacking Lorne, yelling and throwing items at him, before putting him up against a window. 

'People keep casting me as somebody who always yells! I'm trying to show you I got range. I'm trying to show you something different!'

She's then escorted out by security, and catches naysayer Vanessa attempting to play Trump as well. 

'I'm looking out for number one, baby!' said Vanessa. 

As she exited the building, a limousine drives up and a woman with an accent asks if she is Donald. 

'Donald. Donald is that you?' 

'Melania?' began Leslie. 'I mean yes darling it's me.'

The actress, playing Melania Trump, asks her why she's out there in the cold and urges her to get in. 

Leslie looked at the camera with a sly face, then hops in the vehicle.
