SNL's 'Hillary' Actress: 'I'm Rooting for Her, Obviously'

Kate McKinnon, a performer on NBC’s Saturday Night Live, says she’s “rooting” for Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential candidate whom McKinnon portrays. The TV star made the comments in a group interview with other female comedians with the Hollywood Reporter. McKinnon was asked about the demands of sending up Clinton on such a big stage.

“I do feel pressure. I’m rooting for her, obviously,” McKinnon said, adding that the maniacal portrayal of Clinton seen in recent episodes comes from the writers’ room.
