Kristen Wiig is Kathie Lee Gifford

IT’S A HOEDOWN

SNL funny woman Kristen Wiig gives another spot-on impersonation of Today Show co-host Kathie Lee Gifford on this past weekend’s Saturday Night Live.

Michaela Watkins takes on the role of Gifford’s co-host Hoda Kotb. The SNL host for the evening, actor Bradley Cooper, joins the pair for the second half of the sketch as a catwalk expert. Watch the hilarious clip below!

I LOVE ME SOME KRISTEN WIIG!

I wonder if NBC and Kathie Lee got the message. KLG is such a bore.

I’m sorry but she grates my nerves so bad. She is the worst part of SNL to me. She has ruined quite a few skits that would have otherwise been great. All of her characters are pretty much the same.

The only one I remember of her being really good was with Doogie Howser a couple of weeks ago where they were working phones with the big nails. It was him that made it really funny though.

this sketch was stupid but Kristen Wiig is definatley the only funny person left of the show now. Andy Samberg is only funny when he does those music videos.

Love the underrated Kristen Wiig!

But seriously, I think they messed up at the end of the sketch. I’m not sure if that light (which sounded really heavy!) was suppose to hit fake Kathy or not because Kristen had a confusion face on her and fake Rhoda’s next line indicated that she should’ve been hit.

She really is the greatest modern talent for impressions. Down to the shake of the head!
