NEW YORK (PNN) - May 25, 2017 - Dwayne Johnson is officially running for president, and he used his monologue as the host of the Saturday Night Live season finale over the weekend to share the big news.
Joined on stage by Alec Baldwin - who just finished playing President Donald Trump in the show’s cold open - the 17-time host welcomed Johnson into SNL’s Five Timer’s Club with one of the iconic smoking jackets, and the action star celebrated by announcing his candidacy - and even chose a running mate, Tom Hanks. Hanks walked out, rocking a Five Timers Club smoking jacket as well, and graciously accepted the appointment, leaving Baldwin dejected. Johnson and Hanks quickly got down to brass tacks to discuss their political platform and why they’d be good candidates.
