Last night, Saturday Night Live had a very funny skit about Kellyanne Conway.
The amazingly talented Kate McKinnon played Kellyanne as Roxie Hart, the ambitious, unscrupulous performer in “Chicago.”
If if you saw the Broadway show or the movie “Chicago,” you will find the skit hilarious. If you have not seen it, rent the movie. It is a great show.
Kate McKinnon is pitch perfect. This actress can do anything: sing, dance, play musical instruments. I adore her. By the way, she went to a public high school in Long Island, New York. I don’t know what her test scores were.
Love it, and I am so glad that you post the satire and humor, no tot mention the talent (like Bald Piano Guy!)

Vladimir Putin Cold Open – SNL
Published on Jan 22, 2017
Russian President Vladimir Putin (Beck Bennett) and Olya Povlatsky (Kate McKinnon) assure Americans that everything will be fine under President Donald Trump.
Just how was “Saturday Night Live” going to tackle the pageantry, protests and news conferences that dominated President Trump’s inauguration and first day in office?
By unleashing Vladimir Putin.
Alec Baldwin, who has been playing Trump since the fall in a parody that Trump himself has repeatedly criticized as mean-spirited and bad, didn’t reprise the impersonation in the first post-inauguration episode. Instead, SNL kicked off with a bare-chested Putin (played by Beck Bennett), giving advice to the newly sworn-in president and reassuring those Americans who are displeased.
[Trump isn’t the first president ‘Saturday Night Live’ has skewered. But this feud stands out.]
“Today many of you are scared and marching in the streets,” Bennett as Putin says. “You are worried that your country is in the hands of this unpredictable man. But it’s not. I promise that we will take care of America. It’s the most expensive thing that we’ve bought.”

You knocked it out of the ballpark with this posting!

Kate McKinnon is an accomplished young woman and talent. She nails Kellyanne Conway’s persona. In addition to being a musician and a comedic actress, I have a feeling her “scores” were pretty great too as she attended Columbia University.
Agree.
really great satire…laughed at both videos…thanks Diane and Carol…what a world….
When I watched the Jan 14 SNL cold open, I realized what an incredible actor Alec Baldwin is–to deliver those lines without cracking up!!
Her impressions are off the charts (which is why she’s won an Emmy & a Golden Globe Award {maybe more than one of each-?}–& I believe she’s been the only female SNL member to do so–correct me if I’m wrong). Anyway, my favorite Kate character was her spot-on impression of Robert Durst which was done after the HBO doc was aired–she perfected all his mannerisms in very little time; I don’t think anyone could have done a better job. Yes, she’s brilliant.
Thanks to Trump, SNL will be great again.
This is what I was telling you about… >
Well, I am reader Susan Schwartz and my fother avorite is this one… I always loved this song in Chicago, Kate McKinnon plays Conway as Roxie Hart ;today, this is particularly appropriate, as the lead-in is about Putin..
enjoy…
