SNL veteran Kate McKinnon has reprised her role as Hillary Clinton to mock the Democratic front-runner’s race for New York against Bernie Sanders. This week’s show opened with Clinton wearing a Yankees cap – which still has its price tag on – as she pretended to eat a hot dog and nuts to prove what a real ‘New Yorker’ she is. She later switches her cap for a Mets one. The clip also makes fun of Clinton’s subway gaffe from earlier this week, where it took the presidential candidate several tries to get through the turnstile.

In the clip, McKinnon, playing Clinton, gives up swiping her card and attempts to jump the turnstile. Eventually she gives up and takes a cab

‘The subway. I love to ride. I’m comfortable riding it,’ said Clinton before swiping several times with no success.
She then attempted to climb over the turnstile only to get stuck and give up.
‘I’ll just take a cab,’ she added.
‘This is what “New York values” are really all about’: Trump…
Sanders’ streak continues! Bernie makes it eight wins out of…
‘I don’t want any drugs’: How Trump supporters in Wisconsin…

Following Clinton’s recent loss to rival Bernie Sanders in the Wyoming caucus, the skit discusses Clinton’s streak of several primary losses.
‘It’s true, I have not been winning as of late. In fact I have not won a state in about three weeks, but that was the plan!’ she says in the skit.
McKinnon as Clinton attempts to say ‘You win some you lose some’, but struggles to say ‘lose’, gives up and says, ‘close enough’.
She says the losses ‘humanize’ her as a presidential candidate.
The opening skit featured Kate McKinnon playing Hillary Clinton, where she discussed her recent losses and love of New York.

‘I’m the underdog, now,’ she says. ‘I’m this election’s Rudy, and I like that.’
McKinnon as Clinton then moves on her her love for New York, as the actual candidate continues to campaign around the city ahead of next week’s primary.
‘Right now my focus is here in New York,’ she says after mentioning her losses. ‘God, I love being back here in the fat apple. It’s my home state except for Illinois and Arkansas, but they already voted for me so we’re cool.’
She added that she was going to ‘Take in that hot new Broadway show that’s got everyone a buzz – Chicago!’

SNL brought on Al Sharpton as statistical analyst Charles Richards to discuss the black approval rating of each presidential candidate with Al Sharpton, played by Kenan Thompson

SNL brought on Al Sharpton as statistical analyst Charles Richards to discuss the black approval rating of each presidential candidate with Al Sharpton, played by Kenan Thompson. The pair discuss the presidential candidates and Richards’ algorithm for the election, the Black Approval Rating Scale

Richards, played by Sharpton, says each candidate gets a number based on his or her standing in the black community. Actor Russell Crowe was the guest host on this week’s Saturday Night Live.
Al Sharpton also made an appearance on Saturday Night Live tonight to discuss the presidential candidates and skewer Donald Trump’s contentious relationship with African American communities.
Kenan Thompson who was playing Reverend Al Sharpton in the skit, brought on the actual Sharpton as statistical analyst Charles Richards.
He first tells Thompson: ‘I expected you to be thinner’.

The pair then move on to discuss the presidential candidates and Richards’ algorithm, the Black Approval Rating Scale.
‘Each candidate gets a number based on their standing in the black community,’ the real Sharpton, as Richards, says. ‘[Hillary] Clinton gets a 7.2 rating with black voters because her husband is Bill Clinton, who despite recent outbursts is beloved in the black community.
As for Bernie Sanders, he ‘gets a strong 6.3. Yes he was active in the Civil Rights movement, but he seems like the kind of guy who still calls Muhammad Ali ‘Cassius”.The pair then moved into the Republican party.
He give Donald Trump a -1,048 black approval rating and insists that the number could go down even further

‘Sen [Ted] Cruz gets a 2.1 on the Black Approval Scale Rating. Because look at him, you just know he’s up to something,’ Sharpton, as Richards, says. As for Trump, the pair go back and forth saying ‘Come on!’ several times before Sharpton, as Richards, announces the presidential candidate’s black approval rating.
‘Come on now. Right now Donald Trump has a black approval rating of -1,048. But that could go down,’ he says.
Then Thompson, as Sharpton, responds: ‘Black people should never trust a white person whose hair is more processed than theirs.’
