Tina Fey and Amy Poehler mock Taylor’s Swift’s ‘squad’ in SNL sketch
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler returned to “Saturday Night Live”, and they brought their impersonations of Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton with them.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosted the programme and used their monologue to give subtle nods to their new movie, ‘Sisters, ‘ and sing a amusing tune about Christmas that showed off their light and dark sides.
There are some awesome squads out there, and more doper ones…
There’s no secret that there’s been some “Bad Blood” between Taylor Swift and comedians Tina Fey and Amy Poehler in the past. Just as McKinnon’s present day Clinton goes to sleep, a fog fills the room and out comes Poehler’s 2008 Clinton, who was also a presidential candidate at the time.
Per Nielsen metered market data, this Saturday’s “SNL” drew a 5.1 overnight household rating.
How many favorite characters will Tina and Amy be able to reprise in 90 minutes?
Fey and Poehler first jabbed at Swift back in 2013 while hosting the Golden Globes, commenting on the number of boyfriends the singer has had in the past, warning her to stay away from Michael J. Fox’s son. Amy and Tina (and Maya)! The premise: Fey and Poehler host a game show in which unsuspecting men-current wives in the audience-are introduced to the women who will someday become their second wives.
“Trust me, you’ll thank me later”, she says to a shocked 2008 Clinton. Would Amy’s Hillary Clinton make an appearance, even though cast member Kate McKinnon now handles those duties?
A schlew of guests including Bruce Springsteen, who led the entire cast in “Santa Is Coming to Town”, took the stage at the end of Saturday’s show. The resulting sketch was the kind of humor that’s marked Fey and Poehler’s careers, the comedy found in the sometimes ridiculous expectations of women.
