Stephen Colbert somberly addresses the Oregon mass shooting

Clinton did indeed make a cameo — as bartender “Val” who encounters herself played by Kate McKinnon, but the appearance seemed too celebratory of the presidential candidate, according to Kevin Fallon. “On Saturday night, Studio 8H was briefly remodeled into a pop-up Ready For Hillary campaign headquarters for the 41st season premiere of Saturday Night Live,” he says. “The guest of honor herself even showed up for a heavily teased set, one that was tailor-made to lampoon the two biggest critiques of her persona—that her presidential ambition can at times read as deranged entitlement and desperation, and that she lacks relatable charisma—all while not-so-slyly dropping campaign platforms disguised as jokes.” PLUS: Hillary Clinton tweeted: “A vote for Hillary is a vote for four more years of Kate McKinnon’s impression,” McKinnon called out Clinton on her gay marriage support delay, it seemed like Clinton had no choice but to visit SNL, Taran Killam’s Donald Trump was a disappointment, and why Miley Cyrus isn’t suited to host SNL.
