Who does not know or admire Kate McKinnon? We have all grown to love Kate McKinnon and her true-to-life impressions of political figures on SNL over the years. Her impressions of Hillary Clinton, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Angela Merkel, Jeff Sessions and many others, are what makes SNL such a delight to watch. And through all the laughs and the caricatures, the truth shines through, like the Sun’s rays piercing the morning haze.
On Thursday night, McKinnon stopped by Late Night with Seth Meyers to promote her new film, Yesterday. She also watched the Democratic debate before the show and after watching Marianne Williamson, McKinnon just couldn't resist doing an extempore impersonation of her. Too bad Marianne Williamson will fade away long before the new SNL season starts, because she is perfect material for SNL.
Kate starts off with her impression of Elizabeth Warren before turning to Marianne Williamson at the 0:55 mark. Watch -

My plan is to harness the energy of babies to finally put a man on the moon.
And I said to the president of New Zealand, I said — Girlfriend, you’re so on.
And I would say to Donald Trump - Boyfriend, you chill.
