Despite the thousands of people that showed up to protest GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump hosting "Saturday Night Live," the late-night comedy show released a series of promos Wednesday night, including a couple that were never supposed to be seen.
NBC accidentally posted multiple promos of Trump to "SNL's" YouTube channel, including one where the former host of "The Apprentice" called fellow GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson a "complete and total loser," according to Deadline. NBC owned up to its mistake and admitted that three out of the eight videos posted were not meant for air, including the Carson one.
In the NBC-cleared promos, Trump stands by "SNL" castmates Cecily Strong, Sasheer Zamata and Jay Pharoah as he declared that the show was going to be "huge."
"To make things extra fun, Donald has promised that for the whole show he is not going to brag or say that he is the best at anything, right Donald?" Strong asked.
"That's right Cecily. I am going to do the best job that anyone has ever done at not saying it," Trump said before he added that he was "the absolute best."
Despite Trump's willingness to make fun of himself and his controversial comments, the promos were released as thousands of Latino petitioners showed up to 30 Rockefeller to protest the controversial candidates hosting gig at "SNL." Several dozens of activists gathered in front of NBC headquarters and demanded that network rescind its invitation for Trump to host "Saturday Night Live."
Trump's "Saturday Night Live" appearance will air at 11:30 p.m. this Saturday on NBC.
Check out the promos below, including the banned NBC ones.
