SNL: Elizabeth Warren Town Hall (Cold Open)

[Rhiannon12866]

Senator Elizabeth Warren (Kate McKinnon) attends an Iowa town hall where she takes questions about her run for president and defends her Medicare for All plan.

1. Loved it! Great gentle satire with some zingers for others

Including those who are scared of bold, substantive change (loved it when she told the worried woman to dump her current health insurance like a bad boyfriend)

[Rhiannon12866]

2. LOL! I agree - she really nails Elizabeth Warren - but with humor

[Fiendish Thingy]

3. I think McKinnon has a genuine affection for Warren nt

4. I think you're right, she never is OTT or mean like she's been with Giuliani or Jeff Sessions

And it's got to be tough to poke fun at Elizabeth Warren since she never is OTT or mean.

7. However mean Kate has been to Giuliani or Jeff Sessions,

is nothing compared to the meaness of the men themselves. Ditto Lindsey

[Rhiannon12866]

10. I think she's probably a fan

It would be very cool if Elizabeth Warren made a cameo on the show - like a certain previous female candidate did.

12. LOL! Thanks for this!

I didn't remember exactly what happened, but I just knew that Hillary was the bartender! Excellent find!

5. Kate McKinnon is just brilliant!

I honestly thought I was watching Elizabeth Warren for a few minutes. She is just so versatile. Anyway, great cold open! Thanks Rhiannon!

8. I was a little disappointed that Alec Baldwin wasn't back

I was expecting a take off on the Trump booing episode(s). But I agree that Kate McKinnon's Elizabeth Warren is always terrific - and she manages to make it humorous without making her seem unlikable.

6. It's Warren minus the energy

Elizabeth bounces around on stage like a pinball.

Love Kate! Love EW!
