"Hillary Clinton on Saturday evening returned to the set of “Saturday
Night Live," starring in a skit as “Val,” an easy-to-talk-to barkeep
giving advice to the former secretary of state, played by comedian Kate
McKinnon.
In the skit, Clinton, as “Val,” dressed in a white button-down shirt and apron, mocked herself for being slow to announce her current position on the Keystone Pipeline and on gay marriage. She was also game to play along with a joke about Bill Clinton, played by Darrell Hammond, who entered the room, spotted two versions of his wife, and fled exclaiming, “My God, they’re multiplying!”
Clinton’s best line of the night was her game impression of Donald
Trump, which rivaled the Trump impression by Taran Killam on the show’s
cold open. (The sketch starring Clinton was surprisingly buried about 30
minutes into the broadcast, rather than featured at the top of the
program.)
The skit made no mention of the email scandal that has been damaging Clinton’s campaign so far. Nor did it deal with her main rival for the Democratic primary, Bernie Sanders, or Vice President Joe Biden’s potential entry into the race. Instead, the appearance handed Clinton an opportunity to be self-deprecating, winking at her own stiffness and acknowledging some of her own weaknesses in a manner that seemed to score her points with the audience."
