Alec Baldwin's recent appearance on "Saturday Night Live" has become a topic of discussion due to an unexpected wardrobe malfunction. While impersonating Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Baldwin, aged 66, inadvertently left his fly open during the performance.

Baldwin's portrayal included using a raspy voice to mimic Kennedy, who suffers from spasmodic dysphonia, a neurological disorder affecting speech. The Cleveland Clinic describes this condition as causing involuntary spasms in the vocal cords, resulting in a strained or hoarse voice.

The incident gained significant attention when Baldwin stood with the cast and host Charli XCX for the show's closing moments, unaware of his unzipped pants. Social media quickly reacted to the mishap with various comments and jokes.

One tweet read: "Alec Baldwin did Saturday Night Live with his zipper down. The left is exposed…" Another user commented: "Hey old man, it’s a zipper, not a prop gun… All you have to do is pull up on it."

The event sparked widespread online conversation about Baldwin's return to SNL and his comedic take on RFK Jr., overshadowed by the wardrobe blunder.
