This episode will be her submission to (and reason for winning) an Emmy this year. The double whammy openibg (not just very moving, but the piano playing and singing: who knew?) AND the sensational RBG segment on Weekend Update. Slam dunk for that Emmy.

I’m very disappointed with Bernie’s responses and nearly broke my tv and remote the other morning when Michael Moore was going on about poor misunderstood white men.

That’s because America is ended. We live in a ghost country that doesn’t know it’s dead.

First time I’ve legit cried at SNL

That was beautiful and it did make me cry. I love Jeff Buckley’a rendition so much that I didn’t realise that was a verse from the original. That and the verse from Everybody Knows is like he was a damn fortune teller.

I feel completely, 100% changed forever. And I’m not exaggerating.

And she did it while holding back tears.

Kate’s also gay, so I’m sure that’s also adding an extra layer.

p.s. looking forward to gleefully dismissing any motherfucker who decides now would be a good time to gloat/lecture me for several paragraphs about why Hillary Clinton is worse than Satan/make fun of me for being sad. today is not the day y’all.

Yes. I mean, I was already crying, but then it became ugly-crying.

Her performance is the only thing said or done this week that’s made me feel anything other than a continuing cold despair.

Watching the video, I think she was close to tears herself, you could hear the lump in her throat and see the tears pricking her eyes towards the end and when she turned to the audience. She did an amazing job of keeping it together in my opinion, having impersonated Hillary for so long must add an extra layer of…

My favorite version is K.D. Lang’s.

I’ll admit to only being familiar with the cover, and I was afraid they had written a new verse for the show. But that’s from the original? Wow, it seemed so poignant now that I thought it must have been written specifically for this moment.

She is the most talented and entertaining person to come out of SNL in like 15 years.

It means a lot that she covered the often left out verses from the Cohen version instead of the more popular Buckley version. I was pleasantly surprised, especially since she wasn’t going for romantic with the song and instead facing defeat with grace.

As if I haven’t cried enough this week 😔

Last night on SNL Kate made me cry

I was in awe of McKinnon’s performance. When I thought she couldn’t be more talented, she goes and pulls this one off. <3

Hoo boy life is never going to be quite real same after the last week
