SNL: Why Did Rudy Giuliani Show Up At 'Four Seasons' Landscaping?

SNL: Why Did Rudy Giuliani Show Up At 'Four Seasons' Landscaping?

We can always depend on Rudy Giuliani, the Count Chocula of right-wing paranoia, to provide comic relief at moments of great political tension. Or at least we could until now, when the booze-addled former New York City mayor may finally be going to the sanatorium he deserves.

But we will never forget Kate McKinnon's impressions of Rudy, even if we must give up the habit someday soon. In this episode of Weekend Update she plays off the skilled straight man Colin Jost with all her mad brilliance. Don't miss the naughty allusion to Borat 2.


#EndorseThis: 'Kellywise' Is How We'll Always Remember Kellyanne

#EndorseThis: 'Kellywise' Is How We'll Always Remember Kellyanne

Kellyanne Conway is leaving the Trump White House to "spend more time with her family," as the saying goes. Tonight she will deliver a valedictory speech at the Republican National Convention – which is certain to feature her trademark toxic fog of "alternative facts" and partisan malevolence.

But everyone in the news business is sure to miss Kellyanne when she's gone. (Especially if she's replaced by a full-goose loony like Kimberly Guilfoyle.) Cable hosts found her overwhelming zeal for televised throwdowns, her backstabbing White House shenanigans, her capacity to spit loud, rapid-fire lies exhausting yet somehow compelling.

How did we really feel about Kellyanne? Nobody captured her dark magic like the great Kate McKinnon in this classic Saturday Night Live sketch, titled "Kellywise."

Creepy as hell, it will make you shudder – and cackle.


Saturday Night Live Delivers ‘The Trial You Wish Had Happened’

Saturday Night Live Delivers ‘The Trial You Wish Had Happened’

Feeling frustrated by the Senate Republicans’ rigged impeachment trial? So are the cast and crew of Saturday Night Live, who vented creatively with a cold open sketch: “The Trial You Wish Had Happened,” which begins with a robed  Kenan Thompson seizing control as television’s Judge Mathis to ensure a proper trial.

“This court needs a real judge who got some big brass ones under his skirt,” intones Thompson as he ejects the supine Chief Justice John Roberts (Mikey Day) out of his seat. “Now where’s that sneaky little Mitch?” In comes Senator Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Beck Bennett), so he can “remind the American people that all men are innocent after proven guilty.”

Alec Baldwin returns as Trump, with Kate McKinnon providing a hysterical star turn as “Lindsey Valerie Beauregard Matlock Graham!” This impeachment even ends the way it should.

In SNL Cold Open, Kate McKinnon Channels ‘Jacked Up’ Warren

In SNL Cold Open, Kate McKinnon Channels ‘Jacked Up’ Warren

This week’s SNL cold open features Elizabeth Warren, breakout primary star, with the madly talented Kate McKinnon practically channeling the Democrat’s persona. She’s almost too much, strutting and bouncing on an Iowa campaign stage, “jacked up and ready to pipe off. She calls herself a “badass” and sardonically sympathizes with poor Beto O’Rourke: “Tell me how my dust tastes.”

The SNL Warren not only has a plan for health care, but a sassy retort to her critics:

“When Bernie was talking Medicare For All, everybody was like, oh, cool. And then they turned to me and said, ‘Fix it mom.’ And I’ll do it because that’s what moms do. With Dad, you eat birthday cake for breakfast and then go to Six Flags. And then I hold your hand while you throw up in my purse.”

For McKinnon fans — and we are legion — here is joy.

Click and cackle, along with the Massachusetts senator.
