Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton made a guest appearance as a bartender named Val serving Kate McKinnon, who was impersonating Clinton. “I’m just an ordinary citizen who think in that the Keystone Pipeline will destroy our environment”, Clinton stated. Clinton was the last Democratic candidate to publicly oppose it. The real Clinton assured the fake Clinton on SNL, “There’s nothing wrong with taking your time”.

“I wish you could be president”, McKinnon said, as Hillary.
McKinnon, not to be outdone, plays her ace again: “I have a 1-year-old granddaughter”.
Miley Cyrus has a new album to promote, the one she dropped free of charge at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards, so she hosted the season premiere of NBC’s Saturday Night Live this weekend.
“Well, I needed to blow off a few steam”, McKinnon says.
So yes, an “approachable and appealing Hillary” was hammered home throughout the skit – an impression that is likely to work in Clinton’s favor.
During the season premiere of the long-running comedy show Miley got emotional during her second performance of the evening.
However, her shining moment is when she does a scarily accurate Donald Trump impression – and even pokes fun at his “hair”.
“Oh my God! They’re multiplying”, he yells.
Hillary Clinton and Kate McKinnon did a great job of mocking Donald Trump… and Hillary (credit: Dana Edelson/NBC). His cold shoulder mirrors the Vatican’s recent tact to distancing itself from claims that the Holy Father told her to “stay strong” in her fight against issuing same-sex marriage licenses. In one sketch, Cyrus upset a “50s dance by performing rap, and in another, she played herself in a time-skipping bit”. Rather than the Poehler version, which presented Clinton as likable for her intelligence and wit, the McKinnon version, which was first rolled out in March, is such a parody of Clinton’s worst features that the real-life Clinton seems pretty normal by contrast. We know which won.
