Kathie Lee on SNL Spoof & Kristen Wiig's rendition of Everyone Has a Story

[@Orchid1933]

Kathie Lee's offendedness made the sketch and Kristin's impression a whole lot funnier!

*indignation is the word you are looking for

[@waynej2608]

Yeah, I wonder if Kathy Lee recognizes, even now, how colossally bad, she came off in regards to the skit(s). What's really funny, after watching her here, is how accurately Wiig nailed her. Lmao!! Cheers, Kathy, have another pinot grigio.

[@TPTGopher]

@Wayne J What I find really funny about all this is that Wiig's impression is almost affectionate compared to Cheri Oteri's Kathie Lee from the late '90s.

If by 'salty' you mean KL was just as drunk as Wiig's portrayal of her, then yeah.

[@Jamex07]

I feel bad for the real Hoda Kotb. You can see her trying to hold it together, she can't even finish her sentence without Kathy trying to steal the show.

[@callmeishmael4659]

Of course she's salty. She's being portrayed as an annoying alcoholic who hates on her co-anchor. I've seen enough of their show to know that the latter ain't true. The wine drinking obviously is true. Still, Kristen is hilarious.

[@moi22x]

[@marcoesposito2915]

the best thing about this is that she is essentially giving Kristen more material for a new skit lol

[@craiggie1628]

The fact that Kathie Lee was grouchy about Kristen's impersonation until Kristen sang "Hoda's story is boring"-which made her laugh at Hoda's expense-just proves how accurately Kristen portrays Kathie Lee.

No idea who kathie lee was before kristin spoofed her. But i like kristin wiig's kathie better than the real one hahaha

[@jujurussell6076]

She was Regis's sidekick for a few years and a most boring personality who assumes she can sing. She's just butt hurt because Kristin has pegged her personality and does it beautifully. But, if you notice, the real Kathy doesn't pass up an opportunity to pick on others. They are talking about Kristin's singing in this clip, but obviously, Kristin is overdoing the singing part as part of the comical gig. Actually, in reality, she's still not off much from Kathy's boring repertoire and singing style. Which makes it even fumier. Trust me, Tati Toro, you're not missing anything from not knowing who Kathy Lee Gifford is. She's a drunken "has been", who wasn't much of a "been" to begin with but rode on the coattails of her husband and Regis.

[@haydenkasich8664]

I once heard her mentioned in south park, then when SNL did her then I finally knew as well :)

[@jamilgotcher5456]

That's how a celebrity knows they are icon status, when they are parodied on SNL. Lemme guess, you didn't know who Liza was either until Kristen parodied her. lol

I genuinely appreciate that Hoda was laughing about this skit, even poking fun at herself that her story is "boring".

[@anonymoussecret5948]

That wasn’t the point. The SNL message was that Kathie Lee THINKS Hoda is boring. You’ll see this in the other SNL sketches made on KLG. KLG is a self centered primadonna who can’t take a joke, exactly what SNL said. Hoda is just along for the ride.

[@consciousmixture]

4:47 After the SNL Kathie sings: Hoda's story is boring. Afterwards Hoda (the real one) even points it out but she tries to talk herself out of it. But with this (and especially after acting like she's "above that childish humour" and doesn't see the joke in it (i.e. she's butthurt because they were making fun of her)) she's proved that the SNL parody of her character is actually completely accurate.

[@chevydude658]

To be parodied on SNL is a pretty cool thing! When an important comedian like Kristen Wiig does impressions of you is a compliment. For petes sake grow up Kathy Lee. Like she doesn't hammer the wine? They're being whiners. They should have played it and pretended they thought it was hilarious. They could have made themselves look so much better.

[@TheFlicka28]

She sounded EXACTLY like you, Kathy! Lighten up.

[@koekkiekoelkastrijder4272]

It actually took me a while to realise that this wasn't Kristen. Honestly Kristen is a phenomal actress and Kathie Lee Gifford is just a woman who got on tv for some reason. Kathie Lee should be flattered that Kristen Wiig even portrayed her.

[@robertacacciatore5133]

Even Sarah Palin got a kick of it when she appeared on SNL with Tina Fey. I don't know why Kathy Lee got so angry with it. It's funny to see her try to diss Krinten Wiig, who is fabulous, BTW.

[@jenniferwilcox9759]

That's because Kathie Lee isn't smart enough to understand the humor AND I think she's uncomfortable about how close to home the SNL skit hit.

[@akumayoxiruma]

Exactly. Just remember Zooey Deschanel who agreed to play in a skit as Mary-Kate Olsen while two meters in front of her Abby Elliot impersonated her - Zooey Deschanel - in the skit 'Bein' Quirky'. That takes ovarie!

[@augustharper15]

SeedyReed i don’t think Kathie Lee and Hoda should’ve picked jobs where they’d be on national television everyday if they can’t handle a sketch made about them. They went on about the sketch for so long because of how accurate it is. If it wasn’t and they were confident in that, they would’ve left it alone and moved on.

Funny how she's so offended. Then makes mean comments toward Kristin. A person with a good personality would have saw the humor and laughed with her. Instead she got offended and showed her ugly side. That's the last thing you do in this situation! Instead, play along. Then on every Monday following the Sat. night act, you can create a show toward them, keeping it clean and fun! When we get offended its usually because the one poking fun has struck a nerve because it's true.

[@Pikajohn8]
