Clinton, playing
Val, served McKinnon-as-Clinton and sparred with the gay comic
about Clinton's record on supporting gay marriage. The
Democratic presidential candidate also took shots at Republican
contender Donald Trump, deepening her voice in imitation of one
of his pointed pronouncements.
McKinnon also told bartender Clinton she was "really easy to
talk to," to which "Val" replied "That's the first time I've
ever heard that," taking a shot at her frosty reputation.
The pair was joined by cast member Darrell Hammond, the show's
current interpreter of former President Bill Clinton, who
entered the bar and exclaimed "They're multiplying!" upon seeing
Hillary Clinton and the comic playing her.
Hillary Clinton returned later in the broadcast, the premiere of
the long-running show's new season, to introduce musical guest
Miley Cyrus.
Clinton's appearance recalled the visit Sarah Palin paid to the
sketch show during her 2008 vice presidential campaign, when she
ran as John McCain's running mate. During that show, Palin
appeared alongside Tiny Fey, whose uncanny Palin portrayal
became a pop culture touchstone.
Clinton also visited the show during 2008, when she ran
unsuccessfully for the Democratic presidential nomination which
was won by Barack Obama. She appeared then with cast member Amy
Poehler, who was then regularly portraying Clinton.
