Top 20 Hilarious Kate McKinnon SNL Impressions

Joy Bear Santa CLA your Dre welcome to Miz Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for Kate McKinnon's funniest and most entertaining impersonations from her time on SNL I'm sorry I broke it's too funny number 20 Joy bear in this hilarious parody of the view Kate McKinnon plays one of the show's mainstate personalities okay is it my turn uh yeah uh hot take alert uh I don't like Trump Trump trump what a trump Trump trump what a dump okay look it's my 2000th show at this point I get paid by the word her take on Joy bayar is just as funny and unfiltered as the real woman the comedian also channels the presenter's outspoken liberal politics setting up an entertaining clash between egos opposite ad Bryant's Megan McCain McKinnon does some amazing acting as the two characters argue you let me finish well can you let me talk let well can you let me talk because it's actually your job to listen to me the chemistry that she has with her fellow cast members only makes every witty line in interaction better for anyone who knows the real show this entire sketch feels like a documentary with such accurate performances can you let me finish can you let me talk well can you let me finish can I punch you in the F number 19 Betsy DeVos for this Betsy DeVos weekend update segment Donald Trump's Secretary of Education discusses her recent 60 Minutes interview so Betsy what happened with that interview well I I think the problem is is that the words that were coming out of my mouth were bad and that is because they came from my brain Kate McKinnon gives Betsy Devas A vibe that's all smiles on the outside and Terror on the inside the actress perfectly balances this awkward mix her version of dasas includes brutal honesty with a hilarious and inept vision of American schooling the character even references home alone in her funny and rambling speech for example if two homealone style Bandits want to Rob a school that school should have the option of red hot door knobs or a paint can that swings down a staircase McKinnon really sells the political desperation of it all showing that the problematic figure hates her job it's such a lean and mean piece of political satire that feels Timeless look I may not be very good on camera but behind the scenes my ideas are much worse Francis McDormand number 18 Francis McDormand if you know this Oscar winner from from her films or acceptance speeches she projects a one-of-a-kind and No Nonsense attitude your dad was so proud of you he knew that you were a pronominal accelerated child what about me you are a rebellious and ungrateful of my love Kate McKinnon plays the actress on Family Feud as she jokes about everything including her choice of wardrobe and for all you ladies out there I have two words that are going to change our industry burlap dress stepping up to answer a question the comedian brings a surprising amount of accuracy to the overall impersonation she jokes about her contestants honesty intensity and apparent skincare routine Francis birth thing you do in the morning well huh you know as a woman in the industry I got to you know doll myself up so I do my skincare regimen which is just straight up Vaseline McKinnon finds a way to match the acclaimed performers voice and facial expressions at a certain point you want McDormand to take over just to watch this impression continue and then I curl my hair using my own anger cuz I've you know had it number 17 Angela Angela Merkel Merkel when this character appears on Weekend Update Kate McKinnon gets to show off her accent work so Chancellor what do you think about time choosing Donald Trump what you know that kind of undermines the honor for me it's like winning the Nobel Prize for physics and then the next year they give it to hubank she also shows off a sillier version of the former German Chancellor her impression of Angela Merkel jokes about politics and even introduces a unique form of screaming I must let out a German [Music] scream I'm sorry that was a scream yes that's right in Germany we shout our problems into our stomachs McKinnon's giddy impersonation even explores a possible crush on President Obama from poking fun at Trump to talking about German history these segments let McKinnon run wild this remix of the world leader is an endless source of fun she might not be this open and flirty in real life but the performer certainly gives the politician a romcom spin BR is it working am I making you jealous leave Michelle number 16 Laura Laura Ingram Ingram channeling the conservative host Kate McKinnon delivers an underrated impression of Laura Ingram and just to quickly respond to all of my fan mail know you're an a-hole this character manages to be closer to the real person in startling ways McKinnon plays the presenter with a clear bias even going so far as to make up facts for entertainment some have claimed that Suburban women revolted against their Republican party but doesn't it feel more true that all Hispanics voted twice this hilarious take on the media personality even mentions sponsors that draw laughs all the while the role lets the actress make darker jokes about the state of political discourse she even plays well opposite real politicians like Elizabeth Warren with some clever writing this take on Ingram Teeters between funny and all too real consider supporting my ever thinning list of sponsors like deer tanks let's face it shooting deer takes too long send Bambi to hell with deer tanks number 15 Lisa Lisa Kudrow cudro during a sketch about auditions for Jurassic Park Kate McKinnon comes along with a quick impression that's Unforgettable well there's the T-Rex and must must move faster must move faster she plays friend star Lisa kudro in a hilarious impersonation McKinnon actually Nails the voice and Cadence of kudro playing her as she tries to escape a dinosaur it's such detailed work that you could close your eyes and imagine the TV icon saying it herself hey dinosaur attack quick everybody into the house her pronunciation is even funnier in the context of a big action movie giving the dialogue an ironic quality the SNL cast member also shows you that she can steal a sketch in a few seconds oh no oh no must move faster number 14 Jane Lynch Jane Lynch with her opening lines Kate McKinnon shows why she is perfect to play Jane Lynch I'm Jane Lynch America's number two lesbian this sketch finds the latter actress hosting Hollywood Game Night dealing with regular players and celebrities McKinnon's Lynch doesn't suffer fools in increasingly funny ways my husband Frank and I play hide and go seek problem is when I hide he doesn't seek one time I found him in Barbados Kathy Lee your personality is as strong as my cologne she gets to make fun of Glee and engage in banter with the contestants the SNL cast member transforms into the TV star giving this game show a great pace and some of its best lines she also gets to work with talented stars like Bill hater and Kristen wig as Lynch becomes angry with the unruly CBS McKinnon shines as she critiques the entire concept of the show once again the only winner is me I want an Emmy for this good night number 13 Lindsey Graham Lindsey Graham Kate McKinnon might not be your first thought when you think of Lindsey Graham but she absolutely earns her part here and I know I'm supposed to shut up cuz I'm a single white male 510 uncut the cast member goes behind makeup and Prosthetics for a convincing take on the senator McKinnon turns the politician into an angry and hilarious force of nature do you know what this is Judge Cel do you know what this is is this a real question this is hell that's what it is is hell she questions Matt Damon's Brett Kavanagh but also does some fantastic physical comedy the whole performance looks as if she's become possessed by Graham even with Damon's fantastic work the actress still steals the sketch as the questioning goes south it shows that McKinnon can take any role and make get her own you give him a damn robe and you let him do whatever the hell he wants cuz this right now this is my audition for Mr Trump's cabinet and also for a regional production of The Crucible number 12 Teresa Caputo Teresa Caputo with the incredible hair alone Kate McKinnon plays a convincing version of the Long Island Medium okay your father sh me like a like a big pot of sauce okay he wants you to know he's at peace and he has the sauce she captures the TV star 's accent personality and questionable skills her take on Caputo also puts people in tears bringing out some hilarious reactions from other cast members did your mother D she drown in a river McKinnon also makes the most of some funny references to Long Island from helping random Shoppers to talking with animals the character's powers are endlessly entertaining to watch the performer works with a fantastic script that parodies the highs and lows of being a medium on top of everything else the comedian brings out the best in Daniel Craigs impression of Larry like I always say I may be a medium but a Chicos I'm a large you may not be laughing but your grandparents were number 11 Penelope Penelope Cruz Cruz on the surface Kate McKinnon is almost nothing like Penelope crw this does not stop her from doing a hilarious impression of the actress you're a fan of me P I'm a fan of you Sophia hello trading accuracy for silliness this impersonation is absolutely ridiculous McKinnon leans into Cruz's accent as she does a shampoo commercial next to Sophia varara the comedian encounters a wind machine and many hard to pronounce words so he's got everything our hair needs like aloe but without the things she doesn't need like ammonium R sh the SNL performer makes it all look and sound effortlessly funny while the words seem to get harder McKinnon's vocalizations become even funnier pantin invigorates The Superficial Aral by rejuven meting the to do her performance is so effective that you might never see a hair care ad the same way again care pretty for more information about our product visit www.an.com yay number 10 jod Foster I'm 50 I can Jodie Foster stretch and kick and stretch and I'm 50 it is an understatement to say that McKinnon Nails her impression of this award-winning actress director and producer best known for her appearances in films like the accused and the Silence of the Lambs Foster is easily recognizable by her unique voice and mannerisms Dr Lector my name is Clarice darling can I speak with you it's no surprise then that Foster gives McKinnon a lot of material to work with for her spot-on impression okay Pierce look here's the deal sir I am not Honey Boo Boo whether she's appearing on Piers Morgan tonight or is one of the sexiest Bond girls ever McKinnon's hilarious version of foster is a delight to be Mr Bond sir I want to thank you very much for that speedboat ride sir felt so young and girlish with the wind blowing through my hair number nine Elizabeth Elizabeth Warren Warren when a government works great for those at the top and for no one else that is corruption pure and simple and we have to call it out this American politician from the Democratic party is the senior United States senator from Massachusetts she's best known for her Fierce stand on corruption her plan to eliminate student loan debt and completing her fundraising without any corporate contributions these also happen to be the things that McKinnon picks on in her be spectacled performance most commonly on SNL's Weekend Update segment with Colin Jo I I will never stop rooting out corruption uh which brings me to my first point anchor Joe's we'll begin with a simple yes or no question uh it says here that you and Michael Chay are credited as full cast members on this show is that correct number eight kellyanne Conway a Kellyanne Conway presidential campaign manager turned counselor to the president Conway seems like a pretty legit success story on paper however since her appointment she's been charged with ethics violations and is infamously known for her use of the phrase alternative facts as well as her reference to a Bowling Green Massacre that didn't happen but it's brand new information to people that President Obama had a six-month ban on the Iraqi Refugee program after two Iraqis came here to this country were radicalized and there were the master masterminds behind the bowl and green Massacre most people don't know that because it didn't get covered she therefore gave SNL a lot of fodder and McKinnon does not pull any punches in her delivery president Trump said his first foreign trip may be to meet with Vladimir Putin isn't that troubling actually no it's not and the thing to remember about Russia is that we won and I don't know why you keep bringing up the election I'm not although she's made Kristen Stewart a lot of appearances as the White House adviser our favorites are her seduction of journalist Jake Tapper her Broadway style number on her reasons for joining with Trump and her parody of Pennywise the Killer Clown hi you it's me kellyan Kang but you can call me Kelly Kelly is the Dancing Clown number seven Kristen Stewart hey you're from Arizona right yeah aren't people from Arizona is supposed to be like really tan yeah maybe that's why they kicked me out once the highest paid actress in the world this star of The Twilight Saga has blossomed from something of a caricature into a respected actress don't get us wrong we love her for her more mature roles like for her work in 2014's French film clouds of ss Maria however we still like to think of her as the withdrawn lip biting nervous girl she introduced us to in 2008's Twilight and this is the version mckinn and channels for her incredible impression dude I don't know I'm just like I'm so excited I'm so honored to be here I don't know whatever although she's also appeared on SNL as a host we're glad that the SNL writers did not hold back from teasing her um I'm sure maybe some of you are like surprised that I'm hosting cuz you think I'm like a little too cool for school or something hell yeah k um I'm too cool for school too I don't even care about this show number six Jeff sessions well Jeff Sessions they would already be arrested if they had enough proof to arrest them uh so the problem problem is you've got indications on this list of people who might be involved in terrorism and we need to keep a list of that you know him as the United States senator from Alabama who resigned to serve as the 84th United States Attorney General we still prefer to think of him as a forced Gump type character sitting on a bench in a park eating chocolates and talking to passers by my mom always said life was like a box of chocolates you never know what you're going to get have after then president Trump and sessions got into a disagreement that ended with the attorney general's resignation SNL orchestrated an imaginative portrayal of his move out I always say life is like a box of chocolates sure are a whole lot of brown ones in there then when sessions decided to run for Senate again in 2019 it wasn't surprising that McKinnon skewed the politician on an appearance on Weekend Update don't forget I was the very first person to endorse Mr Trump I'm a pioneer like Neil Armstrong only instead of flying to the Moon I dug straight down to Hell number five Rudy Giuliani sure it Rudy Giuliani is untrue it is false it isn't the first time the Wall Street Journal has printed false information I can't keep up with the amount of false information printed about me although this American politician has previously been the mayor of New York and the United States associate attorney general he's most known in the 21st century for acting as an attorney to president Trump despite his constant appearance in the news especially for allegations of helping Trump to abuse his power we prefer his appearances on SNL hey you go so Rudy did you go on Fox new last night like 20 times yeah don't worry I told them that you were openly colluding with Russia but then I ended with so what what we mean of course is the shriveled looking raspy sounding interpretation that only McKinnon could pull off whether she's filming a commercial for her Shady services or playing off Alec Baldwin's pouting Donald Trump McKinnon as Julian johnie is always a good time hi I'm pizzat senior Rudy julan the only lawyer who's on your side and office meds number four Ginsburg Ruth Bader Ginsburg there's no denying that this strong wheed lady was a fighter some terrible things have happened in the United States but what one can only hope that we learn from those bad things she became famous for her perseverance her dissenting views and for refusing to step down as an associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court although Felicity Jones did a great serious portrayal of the legal crusador in 2018s on the basis of sex we can't think of a better comedic one than Kate McKinnon's representation on Saturday Night Live here to comment is liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg the baby we don't know what we would have done without rbg's regular appearances on Weekend Update with Colin Jo give him my thing excuse me got to take my vitamin yeah oh my God okay yes her appearance in The Lego Justin Bieber Movie 2 was pretty amazing too number three Justin Bieber discovered at the age of 13 and listed by Forbes Magazine as one of the top 10 most powerful celebrities in the world several times love him or hate him he was once a big deal whether you think of the Superstar as 2010's cute Bieber 2014's bad boy Bieber or 2018s what the heck Bieber we would take McKinnon's version over those ones any day of the week I'm not supposed to drink but I [Music] do Saturday night lives Calvin Klein ad alone is a classic although jingle Ballers and any of the celebrity family feuds are always a treat to watch too what's up Steve um I don't know if you heard but I'm not bad no more um but I can still do this number two Hillary Clinton Hillary Clinton originally coming to the spotlight as the first lady of the United States Clinton has since made a name for herself as a senator and later as the Secretary of State of course she is best known for her second run for president in 2016 which luckily for us was at the same time that McKinnon was available to spoof her on SNL citizens you will elect me I will be your leader although her cold opens are some of McKinnon's best work as the American politician and Diplomat we can't forget her presidential debates with Alec Baldwin as Donald Trump we also give a nod to Clinton as a Christmas caroler in

People's Choice Awards than any other celebrity despite all of her accomplishments we are so grateful that McKinnon does not go easy on the Louisiana comedian degenerous for Dr Satler all right wow that's a gigantic pile of Dino poop I've had stools on stage before but this is ridiculous I'm just kidding while you can catch McKinnon's impression in many of the sketches we love watching her in all her glory while imitating degenerous as she hosts her talk show all right God I hate dancing wish I hadn't danced in my first episode wish I just sat the heck down and had a smoothie did we forget
