People are still furious that Donald Trump is hosting Saturday Night Live. Police barricades surrounded the famous NBC studios, while protesters stood outside the Rockefeller Center hours before Trump was set to host the show.

According to The Wrap many protesters shouted, "Shut it down!" while others waved signs, including posters with crude cartoon drawings of the Republican presidential candidate that said "SNL: Dump Mr. Trump." Some protestors marched from Midtown Manhattan's Trump Tower to the Rockefeller Center. The crowd chanted, "What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now!"

The protest was organized by multiple Hispanic advocacy groups, one organization offered a $5,000 bounty to the SNL audience member who would shout "racist!" during Trump's episode.
