Kristen's impersonation of KLG puts her in the absolute elite. There are those who do "impressions," and there are those who transcend "copying" and create a living caricature. Kristen Wiig is one of the very few genius-level comedians.
No, Hoda goes hyperactive at times. Forget who, but they had an A list female guest and Hoda went on a rant about her life, with the guest making subtle "what is happening" gestures.
I swear Kristen can impersonate every character PERFECTLY. SHE IS SO DAMN TALENTED AND FUNNY. Caps were necessary. P.S. I also love the shiit out of Zach Gailfianakis. He is always Hilarious.
Kristen is playing this role like a pitbull that hasn't eaten in a week! Her portrayal is so relentless I almost feel bad for Kathy Lee. She's getting every ounce of humour out of this possible. Hilarious.
+Dima Peruzzi yeah,classic ;) mine best-loved are the Scared stright sketches: those jail rape jokes with movie plots,haha, don't know maybe somthg wrong with me...
Kristen Wiig does Kathie Lee so good. Just exaggerated. I don't know why Kathie Lee gets so bent over it. She does every one of those facial mannerisms and jumps in and out of the conversation with her little tangents and also jokes about drinking. If I would have seen Kristen doing this bit for the first time and was never told who it was, I would know instantly it was Kathie Lee Gifford.
Then again, Kathie Lee Gifford reportedly wrote the first draft of the musical, "Not 'Today' - and Tomorrow's not Looking Good Either ", in about half an hour .
@@OneManTheBand I didn't even know she was on SNL until like a year ago when stumbled across a skit she was on. I've loved her forever and I'm so glad that she's done perfectly fine without being on here for more than a season? 2 seasons? But yeah I can definitely see how this wouldn't have been good for her, she's spoken out about her anxiety many times. I know my anxiety couldn't handle how hectic this show is, they have huge changes to the skit as they walk on to the stage, I'd be dead lok
@@DM-hw4cr yup she did. I feel for her, I couldn't not accidentally drop an F bomb here or there no matter how hard I try lol. Luckily she's been really successful without having a real run on SNL
The fact that Kathie Lee used to rail against Wiig's imitation of her to anyone who would listen and she couldn't get her to stop just adds to the world's enjoyment of this.
Kristen Wiig is the best thing that has happened to this world ! If I’m having a bad day I can literally watch her in any of her movies, old SNL sketches; even her interviews she’s hilarious in! Bless the almighty Wiig!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽👱🏼♀️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💜🖤💜🖤
These Today show skits are the best! Always funny and always worth watching again and again and again. Kristen’s portrayal of Kathy Lee Gifford is hilarious!
Literally the perfect depiction of a passive aggressive personality. She hated the impersonation because she knows it's true. It's the equivalent of being called out for your crap.
When Hoda and Kathie were talking about the show the real Sarah Haines was saying how she wished they would do an impression of her and then they did. Love that journey for her.
Kristen Wiig is so crazy funny. She’s up there with Gilda, Catherine O’Hara, Andrea Martin, Tina Fey etc. The best ever sketch comediennes. Who am I missing?
2:48 there is something magical about Kristen's voice, have you guys notices how beautiful she sounds when she makes this chicken noise? She sounds like a musical instrument.
If you look at the Kathie Lee reaction video to the sketch prior to this, the Sarah girl in the today show actually says she’d love to be included in the next parody

jakesnake66 agreed. This is absolutely next level. It’s similar to Steve Carell in The Office. He quite literally was Michael Scott.
Well said.... she is the closest thing to Dana carvey
gay
agreed
surpassed only by her Liza Minelli!
Jenny Slate doesn't get enough credit here for perfectly displaying an angry coworker, the dynamic is priceless.
glad you mentioned that..she made it look too easy
Jenny would make a good TV host presenter.
Subtle and precise
I'm amazed by the fact that I really enjoyed this skit while the real show they're portraying I often found unbearable.
Watch the first one who played Hoda. She does it more subtle.
“Why would I leave her alone”
“Who am I? Every guy?”
LOL.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
B Robs as a guy, I’d be with Jenny Slate anytime lol just sayin
@@Tebay71 Yeah but Hoda? Hmmmm
Damn.
B💥ng!!!!
This is so close to the actual show, it's scary.
What is the show
Simply Drug Addict Good Morning America
Kasino80
Yep. Spot on.
No, Hoda goes hyperactive at times. Forget who, but they had an A list female guest and Hoda went on a rant about her life, with the guest making subtle "what is happening" gestures.
Really? Kathy lee G is like that?
Her Kathy Lee isn’t even an impression. It’s a channeling. She actually says and does shit like this. One of the best impressions out there.
I think it's even more hilarious that Kathy Lee has no sense of humor about this and thinks Wiig isn't funny.
She’s SO salty about it. It’s crazy
@@MaxOakland thats just part of the theatre, like how wiig actually looks more like kotb
1:45 She inserted a straw into the Franzia wine box like if it was a Capri Sun pouch. 😂🤣😂🤣
🤣 I burst into loud laughter at that
🤣🤣😆😆
That's what got me!!
😀😁😁😂😃😄😅😅😆😆
Lol. Awesome.
Read my mind. Lol
Coronavirus has me watching every SNL video ever made.
natedogg4116 most of ‘‘em are blocked tho :/

@@iluvbooty Agreed. So frustrating! It's fun to scroll through their videos but it seems anytime I have one in mind and search for it....nothing!
so feeling you!
Same here. I didn't kno these episodes cud be this good. Am totally hooked yet iv just renewed netflix
And apparently this Kathy Lee woman is super bitter about this... yet it's absolutely wonderful!
apparently Suze Orman felt honored to see Krisen's impression of her
I don't even know who that Kathy Lee but I like Kristen's kathy lee better haha
@@ModMokkaMatti thats not very PC brah
Good...Kristen has her nailed!!!
@Robert Lee, Countertenor so if it wasn't true you wouldn't be offended that you were being portrayed as a drunk on Saturday night live?
"After all I've done for you..." LOL 😂
😂😂😂😂
"This is the Hod less travelled" loool
lost in youtube watching all SNL skits...
welcome
SOBERABSORBER same Lol
Same here!
Same 😂
Still same 2:30am....an need to get up at 6am. Life rules!

because you're a dumbass
lawrence welk is the best/worst there are only so few of them and yet i find myself getting caught in hour long loops
Kristen Wiig is so awesome
Opinions are like asshole etc etc
TheLonesomeChef You forgot to mention hot
At "Hoda get you laid I will" I fell off my chair laughing. Kirsten Wiig is the best!
It's: "Hoda, help you get laid I will". (Slightly better Yoda phrasing, lol!)
jenny slate is so underrated. she’s a great comedian
Noooooooo not the apparently obligatory ‘underrated’ comment.
Nooooo not the obligatory snark reply with one self-upvote.
@@dumatella2801 only obligatory because of your 'underrated' signaling
"Hoda-lone" 🤣😂🤣
My favorite 😂
This skit is toooo much 😂😂😂😂
Kristen portrays the 'TV host that we all know drink 3 bottles of wine a night but hides it with an 80s haircut' perfectly.
"Chardonnay-sicles" - she's a genius! **Runs to ktichen**
You know they have writers, right?
@@jamesmcinnis208 that's not what she meant.
*Runs to the kitchen to make chardonnay-scicles too.*
@@lorderica Right, scicles. Thanks for the correction

Marcus Irwin
It’s not even that exaggerated. It’s pretty accurate.
it's really not exaggerated by more than a tiny bit.
@@BostonEmpath Thanks! 👍
" Why would I leave her alone? Who am I? Every guy?" The best comedic line so far!
She makes Kathy Lee seem a lot cooler than she actually is.
Then again, Kathie Lee Gifford reportedly wrote the first draft of the musical, "Not 'Today' - and Tomorrow's not Looking Good Either ", in about half an hour .
Kathy actually seems like that Aunt you always wish you had. Candid, buzzed and would do anything for you.
Kathy is actually funny like that but mostly makes fun on herself, not others.
the real kathy lee hated this
Kathy definitely acted this way when they allowed drinking on the air.
Jenny kills it in this. She stays in character like a total boss!! Anyone else would’ve broken in this.
Michaela Watkins and Nasim Pedrad didn’t. Michaela is even better than Jenny.
jenny slate was great in this, it's a shame she didnt get to show off how funny she is on the show
Sam Woodruff
Yeah. She was awesome!
Ever since she mentioned in an interview that SNL gave her anxiety I can’t help but see that she’s kinda nervous in a lot of her skits
@@OneManTheBand I didn't even know she was on SNL until like a year ago when stumbled across a skit she was on.

@@DM-hw4cr yup she did. I feel for her, I couldn't not accidentally drop an F bomb here or there no matter how hard I try lol. Luckily she's been really successful without having a real run on SNL
"Hoda help you get laid I will...in the voice of Yoda rattled off just like that.....perfect timing.LMFAO.
"Why would I leave her alone?What I am?Every guy?" :D:D:D:D Hahaha
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hey...i liked Hoda
Thaha a fuckin sick burn! I love kristen HAHAHA
Best writing
"I just called to say I smell ho" is the fastest I've ever laughed for an SNL skit
This show is like watching two drunk chickens fight over a piece of garbage...but why can't I stop watching? Why? Why?! Wahahahaha...
The fact that Kathie Lee used to rail against Wiig's imitation of her to anyone who would listen and she couldn't get her to stop just adds to the world's enjoyment of this.
It SOOOOOO does. Exquisitely sweet 😂😂
I love how “Kathy Lee” has to be the center of attention. Always with that smile to the audience, like it’s a secret that she has with the audience.
1:57 Shakira ladies and gentlemen, I swear Kristen can do anything.
That wasn’t a Shakira impression
@@elizabethschubert7803Not intentionally
When she put the straw in 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 a whole fool
😂😂😂😂😂
I had an asthma attack and almost peed myself laughing watching this! Kristen Wiig is a freaking comedic GENIUS!
"No, I was talking to the wine!" 🤣🤣

I LOVE her!!
I like her in Extract and Masterminds.

Love you, Kristen! She must host SNL. #KristenWiig
Aishah Abdul Rahman
I would love that! I miss her
For me, KRISTEN WIIG IS SNL!
Many have played Hoda but no one replaces Kathie Lee.
because they can't
it's impossible
All five of them were superb. A must watch for snl fans.
LOL... Zac looking at the camera is so funny hahahaha :D
kaushik hegde the Gaf doin pretty much anything is hilarious.
😂😂😂😂
Red Seaford true
Kirsten Wiig is relentless here, too funny
Kristen's acting is life
Literally the perfect depiction of a passive aggressive personality. She hated the impersonation because she knows it's true. It's the equivalent of being called out for your crap.
Love how Zach doesn't even say a word.. 😆 love how he just appears between them when the camera cuts back to them. 🤣
Kristen is on a roll here 😂😂
Kristen is a nut😂😂😂😂😂
Kristen Wiig is always hilarious. “Hoda-lone!” 😂🤣♥️
😅😂I'm laughing so hard that I can't stop crying
Love Abby Elliott. Also love how much Kathy Lee hated these sketches. And I’m a fan.
When Hoda and Kathie were talking about the show the real Sarah Haines was saying how she wished they would do an impression of her and then they did. Love that journey for her.
Hey is that the girl who plays Jean-ralphios' sister in Parks and Rec?
Yep Jenny Slate, they got rid of her after she accidentally f bombed on air, harsh as she was great
Jenny Slate was really good looking too
YES@
I LOVE her character on there. You should check her out on Drunk History
I love Jean-ralphio
Kathy Lee Gifford haaaates this spoof, but the whole joke is really Kristen playing drunk.
Kristen is just being her usual brilliant self.
Kristen kills it! :D
Phoenix Dawn ALWAYS
I never watched The Today Show in my life. But I can vouch as a person who knows everything that this is perfection. It's hilarious!
Shoulda said
"When Kathie Lee looks in the mirror in the morning, its blurry"
All of them do such a wonderful job with this skit! Abby Elliott is just so cute!
The way Kristen be acting and saying "what am I doing " makes me laugh so hard lmao
That Chardonnay-sicle tho.
Awww. Sarah said she would feel amazing and like she 'made it' if snl portrayed her in a skit and they ended up adding her in! That's so nice of them!
Kristen wiig literally can impersonate anyone , she even unproposedly impersonate shakira here with her vocals
Kristen Wiig is the most talented person in the world. Period.😂😂😂
Represent!
Yo I just got out of rehab & SNL & my music are helping me sooooo much!!!
Hope things work out for you
“Wait’ll we get our Haines on youuu” 😂😂😂 I could watch this skit just for that line.
Kristen Wiig is sooooo funny as Kathie Lee! Love her!❤
"after all I've done for you" 😅😅
I think it's Kristen Wiig's best ..I can't stop laughing when she does Kathy Lee...I'm sure Kathy must hate this tho..lmao
Check out her Kris Jenner.
What is this ":O"? Hodalone hahahahahaha
This is spot on!!!
My favorite part is when hoda fires back and then she cant take it! So true hha 4:03
“After all I’ve done for you!”
Zach's facial expressions made my day!
Why cant i stop watching...i know..its the best youtube rabbit hole when miss wigg is found. Sooo talented...or is she...lol...
Kristen Wiig is so crazy funny. She’s up there with Gilda, Catherine O’Hara, Andrea Martin, Tina Fey etc. The best ever sketch comediennes. Who am I missing?
"HODA LAY HEE HOO"!
I couldn’t come back to my job after seeing this. They cooked Kathie Lee Gifford for sure! 😬 😩 😂
I never even knew Kristen wig was just funny. I can watch this shit all day everyday I am just blown away
Kristen playing Kathie Lee has me in tears!
Haha she’s like a more mellow, more tolerable kathie lee. omfg.
Capturing Kathy Lee Gifford's sugar-coated cruelty
I'm serious when I say I've rarely seen talent on Kristen level. I wish I could talk to someone who knew her in high school etc.
2:48 there is something magical about Kristen's voice, have you guys notices how beautiful she sounds when she makes this chicken noise? She sounds like a musical instrument.
Kristen Wiig cracks me up every time with her Kathie Lee impression 😂😂😂
She is amazing
Kristen is genius as this character. On point.
One of the top 10 SNL sketches of all time. Kristen Wiig is a jedi!!!😂😁
This is mind bogglingly accurate...
Hoda Ley He Hoo!
Nobody knows the difference!
Waitll we get our hanes on you!
The best! LMAOOOO
Its 2023 and i keep catching myself singing "wait until we get our Haines on you"
someone explain how Jenny Slate has looked 26-30 years old for over 20 years
Kristen Wiig is an alluring woman, the best comedic actor of the day and an under-recognized performer of edgy, slightly surreal, dramatic works.
I'm amazed at Kristen's persistence to be at the top of her game
The genius of Kristen Wiig. BRILLIANT.
"after all I've done for you" lmao
I love how Kristen keeps calling her “ho”
When KLG gives the man her music CD @5:03! Everyone has a storeeeeee.
Kristen and Jenny are just soooooo good together. I could watch these today’s show parodies all day.
If you look at the Kathie Lee reaction video to the sketch prior to this, the Sarah girl in the today show actually says she’d love to be included in the next parody
“Hoad less travelled” 🤣🤣
“Why would I leave her alone, what am I every guy?”
I’ve watched this a million times! Still funny!!
