SNL's emotional tribute to Hillary Clinton is too much
If you turned on Saturday Night Live last night expecting a laugh but instead started crying in the first few minutes, you’re not alone. The show opened this week with a somber tribute to Hillary Clinton and the singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, who died earlier this week. Kate McKinnon, as Clinton, sings Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” and the already devastating yet beautiful song takes on a new meaning.
“I’m not giving up and neither should you,” McKinnon says at the end, holding back tears, her voice cracking. “And live from New York, it’s Saturday night.”
