Haven't watched it yet, but what bit I've seen bvf Oct 2015 #17
I've seen a lot of reruns, but I've somehow missed Ackroyd as Carter. I'll have to google that! merrily Oct 2015 #18
It was in the wake of Three-Mile Island, IIRC. bvf Oct 2015 #21
SCTV always beat SNL on that. Used almost no make-up at all. Hissyspit Oct 2015 #61
And funny as hell, too! bvf Oct 2015 #62
Hillary's appearance on SNL did help to show people that she can act authentic and real... so in that sense it helps her. InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2015 #11
she can "act" authentic & real... Ino Oct 2015 #30
Yes, but to be fair, Hillary's appearance was effective. Maybe she can become a regular cast member. InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2015 #36
Sort of like planning to be spontaneous? n/t bvf Oct 2015 #66
"Dead broke" and "outsider" riffs would be much funnier. joshcryer Oct 2015 #49
Oh! Now you want us to see Hillary as Mitt Romney? aquart Oct 2015 #57
I'd rather she not get the Obama treatment. joshcryer Oct 2015 #60
What's the "Obama treatment"? ProudToBeBlueInRhody Oct 2015 #67
Obama got no criticism. joshcryer Oct 2015 #73
Easy, not easy, meh. It's a comedy show. Big negative for me: It was not funny. merrily Oct 2015 #3

I don't know. Colbert's character often said, "It's funny 'cause it's true." merrily Oct 2015 #10
Tina didn't even HAVE to parody Palin! robbob Oct 2015 #31
The parody came in the physicality. But, in any case, the impression was spot on. Not so with merrily Oct 2015 #43
Hillary did ok, the material was poor though (but that's SNL). Bill's appearance made me lol. reformist2 Oct 2015 #9
That Hillary thinks there's something funny about Bill's philandering, and would embarrass herself this way, has to make you wonder. InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2015 #12
Not only the party guy image but the fact that "he" recoils and runs away because merrily Oct 2015 #13
Yeah, picked up on that anti-woman sentiment too. Surprised Hillary apparently approves of that negative portrayal of women/spouses. InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2015 #37

Maybe they should of had some Benie supporters to make up shit to attack her with? upaloopa Oct 2015 #29
