The greatest casting injustice in the history of SNL is that Michaela Watkins was not allowed to continue beyond 15 episodes. She instantly meshed with the cast and created memorable characters.
Utterly brilliant...Kristen is incredible....but the skit ONLY works because the straight lady, Michaela Watkins is absolutely brilliant too.....laughed so hard at this...the timing and quips are exceptional.
4:05 -- as soon as Bradley Cooper appeared, I lost it. That look! Whoever put that look together deserves an Emmy. *And what was that walk* - ???!! "Sigajoo sigajoo - SCRATCH - sigajoo sigajoo sigajoo..." 🤣🤣🤣 Just - speechless!😶
@@jackdavids2723 I actually discovered her before before the 2000s..so..before the big bang so before there was even any time...so....and I'm bester friends her we have a blood pact together that we did after eating tomatoes...so...
Brilliant sketch. Michaela's naturalistic Hoda reactions to Kristen's over the top Kathy Lee is hilarious. Everybody knows their lines and nobody looks like their obviously reading off of cue cards
I thought I was going to have a stroke I laughed so hard at this. Just when I thought I couldn't take anymore, Kathie Lee is nailed by a light fixture!! Omg, so funny!
Every time Kathie Lee gets butthurt and pissy when someone brings up the SNL impression on the real Today Show it just makes the sketches that much more hysterical lol
What's even more hilarious is Kathie Lee 'reacting' to Kristen doing her... omg - far too funny ... I thought it was over exaggerated until I took a look at the way Kathy Lee carries on and also the way she treats Hoda - spot on...
This one is absolutely classic. Worthy to be mentioned with Chippendales audition, living in a van down by the river, or need more cowbells. Michaela is killing it as Hoda.
OMG was that Bradley Cooper?? He was so funny. This is my favorite SNL Kathie Lee/Hoda skit. LOL We gotta Ho down. Kathie lee had this played over and over again on Today the next morning. She loved watching the Hoda character crash to the ground. Was the falling light fixture an accident?
"I went to journalism school."
She killed it as Hoda. That was hilarious.
It's a great line. And yes, she was awesome with this role.
That wasn't Hoda?!?!?
@@mikepluma7896 I thought the same thing. She played Hoda perfectly!!
The one playing Hoda is a crazy good actress.
That is Michaela Watkins. She's one of SNL's shortest-lived cast members. She was only on the show for 16 episodes (which was most of season 34).
Wow Michaela really is the best Hoda. The subtle facial expressions are perfect
Indeed
"How is she okay from that?" xD
+Umy Nei "how did she not die" lol
funniest part
I bet she teamed up with the light guys.
"Momma loves the grape!" hahaha best part
It’s so hilarious how Kathy hates this impersonation of her
That's because it is more famous than her.
What also makes it even funnier is everyone bringing attention to it, asking her opinion, etc. Ya can't see her now any other way! Lol!
This isn't really her?
I live for it, because it's so true
Honda takes them like a champ.
Michaela Watkins was the best Hoda. She has perfect synch and camaraderie with Kristan Wiig's Kathie Lee
yeah I agree. This actually didn't look like a skit but like the real thing. I still love Jenny though haha.
Tetiktetik see I didn't know who hoda was,I actually thought she was the real one .. .
it's freakishly good
Jenny Slate 😍
Exactly
Kristin Wiig deserves an Oscar
R
modarXmodar e
modarXmodar k
It would be an Emmy.
I think you mean an EMMY.
Michaela Watkins is so talented. No other cast member could do Hoda the way she did... Sad that she was let go early..
Agreed, these two had brilliant chemistry in these skits. Watkins was the perfect straight man (woman) to Kristen's brilliant off the wall imitation.
Jānis Vīksne
Bradley Cooper got lost in this
Jānis Vīksne totally agree
These 2 were amazing in these skits.
Love the random audience member that got excited about the Snuggie
"I went to journalism school" 😂😂
Kiirsten Wiig works really well with Michaela Watkins. "I went to journalism school".. "no you didn't" LOL
When Kristin said "we got a hoe down" Bradley was so entertained :)))
Michaela's Hoda is also brilliant. Watch the expressions on her face 😂😂😂
The greatest casting injustice in the history of SNL is that Michaela Watkins was not allowed to continue beyond 15 episodes. She instantly meshed with the cast and created memorable characters.
Wow, I did not even recognize her. Didn't know she'd had a short stint on SNL...
I know! Love her, esp. on The New Adventures of Old Christine. ❤️ 😆 🥰
Every day I discover a new Kristen Wiig character. Unbelievable.
Same
kristen wiig is the Queen of SNL!!
she blew me once
Was the queen 😪
long may Kate McKinnon reign
RandomCactus hahaha dude.. Kate can't even come close to Kristen's greatness.
3
"how does she not die"
that agony in her voice
"As you all know i did a three episode arc on thats so raven" LOLOL
Some of the best timed dialogues in comedy history . Brilliant work!!
Michaela Watkins was the best Hoda, they let her go too soon.
I agree.
How many Hodas were there?
Why did they let her go?
eah why ?
It was a Lorne Michaels decision. Hard to figure why.
loooool... kristen wiig. that "Gilly" move at 5:38 always gets me. hahaha
I really wish these two actresses would do a movie together, amazing chemistry.
Wow. Bradley Cooper really is an excellent actor.
Yes, but remember his first passion is analysis and critique of the nuances of runway etiquette/presentation/style, so he really shines here, Al.
@dsd gds 🤣🤣
@@carlsaganlives6086 ....💜
Wiig and Watkins' chemistry is magical.
@4:51"L:ook, I'm Kate Moss. Somebody get me a sandwich." LMAO
I'm a Brit and loved her attempt at a British accent.
So accurate 😂
"Someone get me a sandwich"
LMAO XD
I love how everything goes silent when Kristen says “Damn right I’ve had a lot of coffee”. Amazing timing there.
I was NOT expecting to see Bradley Cooper do this but I love it 🤣
Wiigs impression on Kathy is just AMAZING!!! Spot on, people, spot on!!!
"Hoda's down, we got a Hoedown" lmao
Michaela Watkins is just brilliant 😂 “seriously, how did she not die?” 😂😂
She was expressing her disappointment 😂
This duo is a phenomenon! I'm laughing my ass off hahahahaha. They are like another level of acting it feels so real, love them both!
Yes kristen is good but Michaela just bring a new level of realism. Microexpressions and stuff
Ya always need a straight guy to play off against, and Michaela did a great job!
That's why the whole skit works fantastic Kirsten is one step beyond but Michaela is so real you really think the whole show is real.
Absolutely!
Wiig is so wonderfully over the top that the woman playing Hoda Kotb almost gets lost. Her performance is absolutely brilliant.
Almost feels like deep fake, it is so good. Kirsten, on the other hand, is overplaying it a bit, IMO.
@@vicinvesta8349 - That is to suggest that the real-life person is a buffoon.
Utterly brilliant...Kristen is incredible....but the skit ONLY works because the straight lady, Michaela Watkins is absolutely brilliant too.....laughed so hard at this...the timing and quips are exceptional.
“That’s… 🙄 not surprising” hahaha 😂
‘I went to journalism school…’
‘No, you didn’t. No, you didn’t!’
4:05 -- as soon as Bradley Cooper appeared, I lost it. That look! Whoever put that look together deserves an Emmy.
*And what was that walk* - ???!!
"Sigajoo sigajoo - SCRATCH - sigajoo sigajoo sigajoo..." 🤣🤣🤣
Just - speechless!😶
That silent laugh of KL is spot on! 😂😂😂😂
It's 2020, i'm only now discovering Kristen Wiig, and i'm having SO MUCH FUN. She's brilliant.
Watch everything with her and Bill Hader. Or the Californians, with Bill Hader and Fred Armisten. It’s glorious.
Watch everything she's in. She's easily in the top five of SNL's all-time best cast members imo.
@@alansalgado2740 fred , bill and Kristen are the golden trio
I discovered her in the 2000s so ....., i’m best friends with her and a tomato so .....
@@jackdavids2723 I actually discovered her before before the 2000s..so..before the big bang so before there was even any time...so....and I'm bester friends her we have a blood pact together that we did after eating tomatoes...so...
i seriously sometimes forget that its kristen and not kathie lee
1:35 - I like how she tries to disguise her laugh with a Hoda smile.
I like that Kristin Wiig holds onto Michaela Watkins arm at 4:38. It makes me think the actresses are good friends in real life. :)
This is so much better than SNL today
People have been saying that for 40 years. SNL has always been hit or miss.
I love her quite laugh and the face she pulls!
Michaela Watkins is fantastic!
"Mi so ho ho" 🙏
Kristen ALWAYS makes me laugh!
you got to "light white right" that was the best line ever!!!!
4:52 Kristen’s dancing kills me every single time I watch this. And I come back to this often. Gets me every time 😂😂
This is my favorite Kristen Wiig character! I wonder who writes for her Kathy Lee bits?
They used actual dialogue from the real show...
@@kalishakta I need to see the real footage they took this from! lol
I have watched this so many times :D
Kristen does the 'silly, attempting to seem down-to-earth' tv host so incredibly well.
Michaela Watkins will always be the best Hoda, she’s so underrated
Omg the level of chaos is hilarious 😅
Even after all these years, this stuff is hilarious.
It scary that this sketch feels like a real tv show, omg
They all deserve awards for this, all three delivered their roles for the skit perfectedly
Michaela really nails it in this role
Brilliant sketch.
Michaela's naturalistic Hoda reactions to Kristen's over the top Kathy Lee is hilarious.
Everybody knows their lines and nobody looks like their obviously reading off of cue cards
who is kathy lee johnson?
@@johnball8758 I dunno
Makes Kathie Lee mad means it's dead on. 😂
Poor Hoda. She planned that accident. It didn't work. :(
I think the lighting guys had enough of her :D
@@TheTimer1337
Agree: That was skilled labor,
for sure. 🎇
I thought I was going to have a stroke I laughed so hard at this. Just when I thought I couldn't take anymore, Kathie Lee is nailed by a light fixture!! Omg, so funny!
"If you had a man in your life ho down" 😅😅Wiig is everything
Michaela Watkins was so underrated. She was perfect for this.
Michaela Watkins so underrated.. I hope we see her on SNL again.
She’s done quite a few independent movies- she’s definitely a working actor now.
@@Julie-wr8dj yes I think I’ve seen her in a show a few years back. She’s so likable.
She got that MILF energy.
I’m so glad she’s been working so steadily. She’s definitely a fantastic film actress.
😂😂😂😂😂At 2:41 when she motions being strangled ... I’m done folks
This is the best Hoda, she keeps her smiles.
We’ve all had a friend like Kathie that really knows how to push buttons while being completely in the dark about it.
Mama loves the grape 🥴
Every time Kathie Lee gets butthurt and pissy when someone brings up the SNL impression on the real Today Show it just makes the sketches that much more hysterical lol
Absolutely. It's hilarious how offended she was.
I just love the faces and expressions Kristen makes... love her
What's even more hilarious is Kathie Lee 'reacting' to Kristen doing her... omg - far too funny ... I thought it was over exaggerated until I took a look at the way Kathy Lee carries on and also the way she treats Hoda - spot on...
one of fav charactr Kathie Lee G. in the house!
I’m seeing Bradley in a whole new light 😂😂😂
A light white right. I'm high as a kite!
Michaela watkins is SO good in these
" We got a hoe down!"
Kristen and Michaela worked so well together!
Kristen PERFECTLY captures Kathy Lee Gifford's totally insincere self depreciation. And that completely annoying grating voice 😂😂
And her thin-skinned, abrasive demeanor.
OMG - when the light suddenly - LOL - I haven't laughed so hard at an SNL sketch in a long time! OMG my stomach hurts!
She is so incredibly talented. What a gift to the art.
"white wine walking....mama loves the grape!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I miss Kristen.
Everyone miss Kristen :(...
I was soooo shocked when Bradley entered in his get up !! 😂😂😂
Bradley's legs are damn good. they looks even better then Wiig's and Watkins'
"The scoop?? Ay ay matey yo ho hoda and a bottle of ruuaaamm!"
I just lost it when the light fell on "Kathie", and feel a little ashamed of it😄
“2:30 in the morning, I hear this commotion, I don’t know what it is...IT’S FRANK!”
"Seriously, how does she not die?" I've been wondering that for 30 years.
"Like your panties are filled with hot grits!" ??? Errry day ... ERRRY DAY LOL.
Kristen Wiggs is a Stainless Talent, I Just can't Stop Watching Her Change Expressions Every Second, She's a Top Class Performer
STIJ SWHCEESS TCP?
This one is absolutely classic. Worthy to be mentioned with Chippendales audition, living in a van down by the river, or need more cowbells. Michaela is killing it as Hoda.
I'd happily erase all those Farley sketches, he was absolute garbage. Fat, loud and never, ever funny.
Kristen Wiig is the funniest😅 she impersonated kathy-Lee perfect hahahahahaha
"how is she okay with that?"
Cal Steinbeck lol I cracked up
Kristen is insanely good at this
No one can play a basket case better than Kristen Wiig.
4:51 "Scooby-Doo" LOL!
she is incredible!!!
When Kristin gets going, there is no stopping her.
OMG was that Bradley Cooper?? He was so funny. This is my favorite SNL Kathie Lee/Hoda skit. LOL We gotta Ho down. Kathie lee had this played over and over again on Today the next morning. She loved watching the Hoda character crash to the ground. Was the falling light fixture an accident?
