Amy Poehler returns to Saturday Night Live as Hillary Clinton’s Ghost of
“Well I’ve been through seven more years of things”.
Amy Schumer and Maya Rudolph were among the all-star cameos.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosted Saturday Night Live this weekend and just as we’ve come to expect from the ladies, it was pure gold. Pumped about Star Wars?
It’s amusing to see Fey & Poehler poking a little fun at Swift after the pop singer’s 2014 comments about there being a “special place in hell for women who don’t support other women” after the comedians made jokes at her expense while hosting the Golden Globes. Rudolph, the former cast member, appeared as a variety show singer unable to remember the words to “The Twelve Days of Christmas and Poehler’s co-host in “Bronx Beat” speaking to their “classy” correspondent based in Philadelphia”.
In the holiday-themed sketch “A Hillary Christmas”, Kate McKinnon’s impression of the Democratic presidential candidate was visited by the ghost of Hillary’s past – a.k.a., Poehler, Hillary Clinton from 2008.
Before the night is through, however, another familiar political face shows up: 2008’s Sarah Palin!
But we can’t have a healthy helping of Poehler and Fey, Fey and Poehler on every “SNL” episode now.
“Trust me. You’ll thank me later”, she explains. The best sketch of the evening by far was Meet Your Second Wife, in which men were introduced to the (very) young women who would one day be their second wives.
“Oh geez, looks like I went through time and space again”, says Palin.
