Alec Baldwin revealed that he gets paid just $1,400 for each appearance he makes as President-elect Donald Trump on "Saturday Night Live."

That's just part of what the New York Times learned when it spent time with Baldwin backstage at the NBC sketch show recently.

The salary would seem low for all the attention Baldwin's Trump impression has brought to the show, including frequent angry mentions by the president-elect himself. But it seems the hard work is behind Baldwin.

Baldwin watched hours of Trump rallies and campaign appearances to perfect the president-elect's physicality, especially his speech patterns, lip pursing, and hand movements ahead of the impersonation's October 1 debut on the show.
