Spotlit Pianos And The Golden Age Of Drama Queenery

Saturday Night Live’s Kate McKinnon, known for her impersonations of Granny Clinton for NBC’s comedy show gave a self-pitying performance of the late Leonard Cohen’s "Hallelujah" last weekend.

The song was a goodbye to many things—to the idea of Hillary as America's first female president, to Cohen who died the day before the election and to McKinnon's portrayal of Clinton. (According to the New York Daily News, Alec Baldwin who portrayed Donald Trump opposite McKinnon hinted he would not continue in that role past Election Day.  He, like all the other snowflakes, believed Granny would win.)
Let the schadenfreude flourish with this parody of an unintentional parody of “Hallelujah”.

Curmudgeonly Cartoon: There Will Be No Mistakes In My Rise To The Top

Saturday Night Live’s Cold Open featured Kate McKinnon in the role of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who as we all know, is fixated on becoming the first female president of the United States.

While mildly funny, I believe the skit would have been considerably funnier if there had been a “Billy Jeff” character seated on the sofa with Cankles and the infamous homebrew server in plain view of the couple.
