Amy Poehler Returns as Hillary Clinton on SNL

By , About.com Guide   December 9, 2008

Follow me on:

Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton on SNL Just weeks after giving birth, Amy Poehler made a surprise return to Saturday Night Live, where she addressed the nation as Obama's secretary of state-designate. Calling the job "almost a dream come true," Poehler said, "The question isn't is my new job better than being president, or is it better than being a senator from New York, but is my new job better than being governor of Alaska? And the answer is yes. Yes, it is."

SNL also poked fun at Barack Obama in an amsuing skit featuring impersonator Fred Armisen playing cool cat Obama, saying, "No matter the circumstances, I am going to keep it cool."
