“What a Loser”: Alec Baldwin Becomes the Real Joke on ‘SNL’ After Accidentally Leaving His Fly Open During RFK Jr. Impression

Alec Baldwin might have come to Saturday Night Live to poke fun at Robert F. Kennedy Jr., but the joke ended up being on him—quite literally.

The 66-year-old disgraced actor, previously cleared of two involuntary manslaughter charges related to the shooting death of Halyna Hutchins, returned to SNL this weekend, donning a raspy voice and questionable comedic chops to impersonate RFK Jr.

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier Sunday that Baldwin faced criticism for using a raspy voice to mimic Robert Kennedy Jr., who was diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder called spasmodic dysphonia.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, spasmodic dysphonia is a chronic neurological speech disorder that results in involuntary spasms of the muscles that open or close the vocal folds. It causes the voice to suddenly sound breathy, strained, shaky or hoarse as if a person has lost their voice.

Kenney’s sister, Kerry, suffers from the same disorder.

He even went for the raspy voice.

“I care deeply about a woman’s right to choose—to choose to give her child polio.”

However, what stole the show wasn’t his impression but his wardrobe malfunction. Baldwin apparently forgot to zip his fly.

As the cast gathered with host Charli XCX to wave and clap for the audience, Baldwin stood front and center, seemingly unaware that his pants zipper was wide open for the world—and the internet—to see.

The blunder set social media on fire.

Alec Baldwin appeared on SNL last tonight to show off his other gun.
Hey old man, it’s a zipper, not a prop gun… All you have to do is pull up on it. Nobody wants to see your geriatric balls. pic.twitter.com/7f6NQv2eJQ

Not a killer performance. The only thing lower than that skit was Baldwin’s zipper. Kennedy should take up film gun safety as Secretary of HHS. pic.twitter.com/h8F3xlntF2

XYZ, Alec Baldwin… I have to believe that he is so despised by SNL‘s wardrobe department, that no one bothered to tell him to zip it up before he went on stage for the goodnights….ironically, his jacket is fully closed. pic.twitter.com/PImHUrtzyh
