Kate McKinnon's Elizabeth Warren Is The Prostate Exam America Needs On 'SNL'

ate McKinnon stopped by the “Saturday Night Live: Weekend Update” desk as Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) ― and she doesn’t care if she’s likable or not.

“I’m sorry I’m not young and pretty like Donald ‘Jackass’ Trump,” McKinnon’s Warren tells host Colin Jost, when asked what she thought about a recent Politico article.

“Am I likable?” she said. “Prob not, but neither is a prostate exam but you need one or you’ll die. This country, Colin, is long overdue for a finger up its caboose. You might even like it, so bend over America, and let Mama Warren get to work.”

McKinnon is great with these impersonations. I guarantee you she'll have this one down to perfection as the campaign season goes on. The gestures and voice are already developing into something that will nail it. Funny and we have to laugh sometimes to preserve our sanity.

Thanks for the clip!
