On which of theSaturday Night Liveimpressions nailed her
“It’s a tie betweenAmy PoehlerandKate McKinnon.
Amy got me right in formal configs.
She was masterful in mimicking me in a debate or behind a podium answering questions.
She might not have resembled me quite as much as Amy, but she caught the essence.
