Journalists at NBC’s Television Critics Association Press Tour today in Pasadena were quick to ask NBC Entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt and NBC reality/late-night programming chief Paul Telegdy about Donald Trump’s controversial appearance on Saturday Night Live.

The network had a rough summer with Trump. First, they tried to completely cut the cord from the billionaire by dropping him from The Apprentice and pulling out of the Miss Universe pageant. But just after that, Trump became the Republican presidential frontrunner and NBC suddenly decided to have him host SNL.

When asked if having Trump on SNL was worth it, considering that the episode had strong ratings, Greenblatt said it was, notes Deadline. Trump was onscreen for 11 minutes and “the earth didn’t fall off its axis,” Greenblatt said.

Greenblatt defended the SNL appearance coming just weeks after NBC said it didn’t want to “associate” with him. “With the pageants, and The Apprentice, we got out of those businesses. That was June-July. That was when we thought he’d be waltzing through the background of the political arena,” he said.

Of course, Trump didn’t and he hosted the late night sketch show.

None of these answers pleased some of the journalists. Another one pressed the topic, and Greenblatt tried to be light about it.

“If we were in the business of never having anyone guest on the network who disagreed with our views, we would be out of business,” he said, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

Telegdy was done with it though and had the last word on the topic.

“That doesn't prevent me from booking someone who's in the public eye on a news program or an entertainment program, if they are either newsworthy or they're entertaining,” Telegdy said, reports THR. “Does that answer the Donald Trump question? It is as clear to us and it is as clear to the people who produce in our news division and our entertainment division what the differences are.”
