Dawn Lazarus sounds like that video "What English Sounds Like to Non-English Speakers" or something like that. Where the people are speaking gibberish but it sounds so much like they're saying actual words that it makes your brain feel broken.

"If Leslie Jones appears at the end of a sketch acting vaguely horny and angry at everyone it means the writers couldn't think of an ending" xD Tina Fey you have opened my eyes.

[@RollingOrmond]

Tina needs to keep sending thank-you notes to Sarah Palin for making her famous.

[@ldchappell1]

Tina Fey was already famous six years before Palin was elected gov of Alaska.

[@123sammyali]

Rolling Ormond No, she doesn't. She's been famous for years. Long before she impersonated Sarah Bear-Shooting Palin, she was a successful screenwriter and producer. Get your facts right. And honestly, to me, that Sarah impression isn't her best work.

[@enchantedgifts5972]

the thing about the truth is, it often sounds like an insult

[@visoredgruntR34]

Well the joke "Horny giant black woman" was amusing the first time but they played it way too much. I don't even think "LandShark" was done as much as Leslie is horny joke.

That, "Did you get your groove back?" joke with Leslie was way funnier than the audience gave credit for

[@Caribbean_King]

Expecting a crowd of liberal w-hite ppl to understand that reference is asking a lot. It's envouge to agree with black people on political issues, not actually know them well enough as people to catch references such as that! C'mon, man. Lol. #itsashamereally

Dawn Lazarus kept on doing the weather in the middle of a debilitating stroke. My hero.

[@billyllewis]

Vanessa Bayer aka Dawn Lazarus is awesome! She played that part “flawlessly”. 🤣 She’s in my top 10 favorites of the SNL alumni. Can’t believe she left but she felt it was time to let someone else do the job and it was her decision and wasn’t fired. Fun Trivia of the day: At the time of her departure, she was the show's all-time longest-serving female cast member with 149 episodes, but has since been surpassed by Kate McKinnon.

[@doc.l]

dawn sounds like she's having a stroke

[@jackievazquez5105]

is Leslie scuttling when she mimics the crabs? I'm dead

I do wish the SNL writers would give her different roles because she's really versatile. Like the one sketch where she was the 'shy dominatrix' with the geeky sweater she was amazing/cute (though I had to stop/skip through that sketch cause the content bothered me, but I'm not getting into that.)

[@Rocketboy1313]

She did not campaign enough in that state and did not win it during the election. Bit of a tactical Whoopsy-Daisy.

[@CardsNHorns04]

She rarely campaigned in Pennsylvania. When she did, it was in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Not Erie, Harrisburg, or areas she could have made more competitive.

[@cheerstopoland]

she lost big there

[@roostero]

If Hillary Clinton won't go to Erie, I want to go to Erie.

[@bovnycccoperalover3579]

Pennsylvania was part of the "Blue Wall" that voted for Trump including Michigan and Wisconsin. Hillary never visited Pennsylvania during the campaign. She was widely created for that.
