Watch Bruce Springsteen Welcome Surprise Guest Paul McCartney on ‘SNL’

In the new segment, present Hillary Clinton (Kate McKinnon) is visited by 2008’s Hillary in a dream.

Before leaving to let Clinton get back to sleep, Poehler’s character said she needs to “get back to 2008 and send a bunch of emails”, prompting McKinnon to spring into action and break her Blackberry. 2008 Hillary exclaims seeing the new version of herself.

There are some awesome squads out there, and more doper ones… “Who cares?” Hats off to McKinnon for holding her own with the Poehler/Fey juggernaut and cheers to all three for the dance party at the end.

This is the first time that “SNL” has used Hammond’s Trump for a debate this year, though they did bring him out for the monologue when the candidate himself was hosting earlier in the fall.

“Oh my god, we’re going to be president!”

But, as expected/hoped for, Tina Fey’s appearance as former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin was the piece de resistance.

Eight years after stealing an entire U.S. election cycle with their parodies of Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were back on SNL to do it once again. Lucky for Poehler and Fey, their “serious actress” characters disappeared from set, an option not available to the suffering at-home audience. Paul McCartney showed up out of nowhere and jumped on stage to help Fey, Poehler and Rudolph on sleigh bells. “I landed in the bedroom of a lesbian couple”, she said. She was a variety performer and “a gifted mess of a woman” on a 1970s variety show that also featured a cocaine-addled disco singer (Poehler) and a young singer (Fey) rejecting Bill Cosby (Thompson).

Saturday Night Live airs weekly at 11:35 p.m. on NBC. Poehler sang the fun, bubbly Top 40 part of the song before handing it over to Fey who sang the moody, traditional, religious part with biblical references to the Pharisees, Bathsheba and various other people who have nothing to do with Christmas. Fey guested as a cousin from Philadelphia.

And while the stars of Sisters got off to a tepid (although by no means terrible) start with their opening monologue – more on that here – it didn’t take long for them to crush it like a mallet bearing down on an aluminum can.
