If you were a fan of Aaron Sorkin‘s “The Newsroom,” the first scene of the show’s pilot is likely what got you hooked.
It was a Sorkin masterpiece, delivered flawlessly by Jeff Daniels as Will McAvoy, the series’ Republican-leaning lead TV news anchor. He tees off on a college student during a lecture when asked to describe in “one sentence or less” why America is the greatest country in the world in one of the most epic rants in primetime TV.
Now, McAvoy is back, only this time on a real network.
Daniels gave Bloomberg’s “With All Due Respect” a taste of what McAvoy would say if he were covering the 2016 presidential race in a parody of that now infamous scene. But instead of talking about the decline of the republic, this time it’s all about Hillary Clinton versus Donald Trump.
As the same dramatic music plays in the background, Bloomberg’s Mark Halperin asks Daniels, “Can you say why Donald Trump is the best case scenario for Hillary Clinton?”
Daniels snaps into character and gives us his best McAvoy take on Trump’s “tiny hands.”
Watch it above. You know you want to.
