Former ‘SNL’ star Rob Schneider says show was ‘over’ after this Hillary Clinton skit
LA TimesSix years, another national election and a new president later, Rob Schneider is still thinking about “Saturday Night Live” and a certain dig at former President Donald Trump. On Saturday, the “Hot Chick” actor and frequent Adam Sandler collaborator appeared on “The Glenn Beck Podcast.” He sounded off on his religion, political divisions and how he tries not to “indoctrinate people like some comedy shows seem to.” He referred to “Saturday Night Live,” of which he was a cast member from 1990 to 1994 as one such show, pointing specifically to a 2016 episode right after the presidential election. “When Kate McKinnon went out there on ‘Saturday Night Live’ from the cold opening — she started dressed as Hillary Clinton and she starts playing ‘Hallelujah’ — and I literally prayed to please have a joke at the end,” he told Beck. Television Kate McKinnon as Hillary Clinton on ‘SNL’: ‘I’m not giving up, and neither should you’ In the first episode of “Saturday Night Live” since the election of Donald Trump as the next president, the show took a rather muted approach.
