‘SNL’ Kate McKinnon Slams Hillary Clinton Gay Marriage Views During Cameo on
The Democratic front-runner appeared on the 41st season premiere of NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” playing a bartender named “Val ” who kept the drinks coming to cast member Kate McKinnon’s downhearted Clinton character.
In the traditional style of SNL, “Hillary” has a vision of chatting up her bartender Val – who is in fact played by the real Hillary Clinton.
The original Clinton was also seen to exhibit her best Donald Trump impression, which she’s known to do on the trail from time to time.
“Anyway, Hillary”, Clinton asks McKinnon, “what brings you here this evening?” Colin Jost summed up the Democratic candidates as “the woman who’s already won” (real Hillary), “the human Lorax” (Bernie Sanders) and “three mannequins from a JoS”. Peppered through the skit were occasional comments from McKinnon on Clinton being “real”.
McKinnon’s Clinton continued that she wanted Trump to win the primaries so she could “destroy him, and mount his hair in the Oval Office”.
SNL’s writing staff also performed the impressive feat of having their political material be more memorable than anything host and musical guest Miley Cyrus did on stage.
Talking about Republican competitors, at one point Clinton – the genuine one – copied Donald Trump with a raspy, throaty version of his contemptuous explanation, “Uh, you’re all failures”.
SNL great Darrell Hammond makes a quick cameo as Bill Clinton ,who is freaked out the appearance of 2 Hillary’s and storms off in confusion.
The “SNL” appearance, which marked a chance for Clinton to “rejuvenate” her campaign, follows a 2008 episode in which she appeared alongside Amy Poehler, the Atlantic recalled.
