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.
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.
@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
This clip is honestly perfect because it proves exactly the point of the SNL sketches. She happily mocks Hoda and the others but when she's the butt of the joke suddenly she gets all pissy.
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.
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!
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.
2:40 Also, I júst noticed, right around 'problem with you people' she does the hanging-lower-lip and closed-eye thing that Kristen does to imitate her.
OMG! I didn't even know the song of that Kathie Lee and now that I'm listening to it, GEEZ! Kristen Wiig is amazing, she could totally do it! She sounded very similar to the real one. And of course, Kristen was not even singing seriously... That proves how talented she is.
Well, Kathy Lee made her official "drunk face" after hearing her own voice. Hoda should have received hazardous duty pay for being around The Old Cheerleader.
Loved it when Kathie Lee was acting all sad and then when the singing went “And Hoda’s story is BORING “ she started cracking up . I could literally watch them react to all of Kristen Wiig’s Kathie Lee skits all day long!! 🎉
Lolololol ok girl.. what rock have u been living under? Snl only makes the comedians on it famous. If they do a parody of someone, it is because that someone is a well known figure. Lol
I think they meant, ‘Kristen Wiig is why KLG is being talked about by people today.’ Kathie’s ship sailed LOOOONG ago... Actually, if memory serves, her ship never sailed. She was an original Real Housewife whose husband got her a kush co-hosting job on daytime television. I always felt kinda bad for Regis. She’s always been a train wreck though. That’s her claim to fame.
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.
They say the best compliment is imitation. If I was in her shoes, I would have laughed along and made fun of myself... Instead she got offended and only proved Kristen Wiig's rendition of her even further. Shame. Bless you, Kristen Wiig! NAILED IT!
kristen is singing it live and she sounded good, why dont you sing yours live Kathie Lee! and see who sings it better. I bet Kristen does sing better than you!
"They said Hoda's story was boring." NO they made Kathie say that Hoda's story was boring in the parody. To show how bitchy she can be to Hoda in the Today's show. That's a whooooooole different scenario there, ladies. Also, I never watched the Today show, I'm Dutch (Holland, the Netherlands) and I have to say, Kristen's impression is spot on.
The fact that they (mostly Kathie Lee) don't understand that being spoofed on SNL means you're important or being talked about clearly shows how dumb they are. Kathie Lee didn't even know who Kristen was. No wonder Gelman let her go!
There’s a strange awkwardness in the atmosphere like Hoda is being held hostage but is being forced to maintain an air of contrived joy, reminds me of that psychological horror movie Funny Games.
I have yet to see Hoda get a word in edgewise. Kathie Lee is an attention hogger. So narcissistic and smart aleck!!! Ugh! I'd love to enjoy the show without K.L. Hoda is calm, classy, self-effacing and smart.
@Arikm7 You got me curious to go look up that clip. Sadly, it didn't happen as you said it did. Kathie Lee was obnoxious, and unable to harmonize, but Enya specifically said she'd sing "If you join in with me." and a big smile on her face. I'm no fan of K.L., but this wasn't a demonstrable moment against her character.
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.
So you are like 10?
Kathie Lee's offendedness made the sketch and Kristin's impression a whole lot funnier!
*indignation is the word you are looking for
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.
@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.
And more accurate*
...and Hotas Story is borrrriiinnngggGgg
THE FACT THEYRE SO SALTY MAKES IT SO MUCH BETTER LMAO
If by 'salty' you mean KL was just as drunk as Wiig's portrayal of her, then yeah.
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.
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.
Natty B Hoda ain't even a little salty lol
kathie lee is salty hoda plays along well
Lol they didn't seem to understand what SNL meant by "Hoda's story is boring". They don't think that, they're implying that KATHIE thinks taht.
think Hoda was just clutching at straws to appease Kathie Lee.
+Jacob Johnson she probably understood it, but just didn't say nothing
True dat! Great observation!
Yeah, and then that's the only part of the skit kathie laughed at lol.
@@erinmaree1987 Stockholm Syndrome
the best thing about this is that she is essentially giving Kristen more material for a new skit lol
She's only proving how great Kristin Wiig's impression of her is by talking about the skit, lol.
Em I
No, I have not seen it....yeah right behind closed door she saw it 100 times and had a tantrum, she is so fake. I never liked her
@@ninamaldonado2285 she (KL)she super sux 4 real.
Kathie Lee was jealous or real talent
She is exactly the way Kristen Wigg portrays her 😂 Just watching her react is like were watching another skit lmao!
I genuinely appreciate that Hoda was laughing about this skit, even poking fun at herself that her story is "boring".
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.
@@anonymoussecret5948 she laughed at Hoda being spoofed, I think deep under her skin KL knew it was funny and point on.
She doesn’t take herself seriously. Kathy Lee is delusional!
No idea who kathie lee was before kristin spoofed her. But i like kristin wiig's kathie better than the real one hahaha
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.

I once heard her mentioned in south park, then when SNL did her then I finally knew as well :)
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
same here, I didnt know how they look or who r those old old nonbrained womans :D
tati toto kinda sad you didn’t know who she was lol
Kathy Lee has the thinnest skin in the business, It's so awesome to watch!!
Scott Mactavish trump
Scott Mactavish, well she is like 85.
Beta MAX na ugh, she’s 700 years old and one of Satan’s first cousins
They just proved that Kristen was spot on lol
Woow I saw Kristen's impression before watching the real Kathie and she NAILED it!!! All of her interruptions and all... I swear this is perfect
I didn't know who Kathie Lee was until now. What a baby; I see Kristen's impersonation was accurate.
Where the fuck have you been for the last 3 decades?
@Justin Stewart Why because they said "fuck"? Lol
@@aszikora Im jealous. lol
I just want to see kathy making terrible jokes and fake laughing
I wanna see the real kathy do that
@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep probably not being a middle aged woman I guess idk
I DIDN'T KNOW THE SONG WAS REAL! THAT'S HILARIOUS!
Gemma Pettersen me neither! LOL
Lol...
That’s exactly what I was thinking 🤣
When they played her voice i literally felt that they played Kristen wigs sketch again. Kristen nailed her voice.
Very well.
And don't forget Kathy is right onto the auto tune. Kristen is intentionally out of pitch!
Me too!!!!
😂😂Me too!
lol thought SNL was just over exaggerating, but damn it's actually a very good impersonation. 😂😂😂
That skit is practically screaming "Kathie walks all over you, Hoda" and what happens a minute after they watch the clip?
You're exactly right! Imagine having to be in the crew,behind the scenes. Absolute nightmare prima donna bitch I bet. 💀
Kristin Wiig is more Kathie Lee than Kathie Lee.
She sounded EXACTLY like you, Kathy! Lighten up.
When she started laughing at the Hoda joke, she lost the game.
consciousmixture When did she laugh?
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.

Kristin can sing BIG TIME!!
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.
Koekkie Koelkastrijder damn right
Toffe naam trouwens.
Husband paid connection for her to have a "show".
Koekkie Koelkastrijder ......Kathy thinks she's above all others !
Yeah I was going to say because her halfway decent ex-NFL playing husband bought her a spot on a daytime show an she even failed at that
KL being so offended when Kristen Wiig nailed her singing voice is the best.
I thought she would go out of her way to be less like the character Kristin Wiig portrays but she just lived up to the whole thing
I didn't know who Katie Lee was when I first saw the SNL sketch but wow Kristen is spot on!
her reaction legitimately made the whole situation so much funnier😂
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.
Didn't expect Kathy Lee to be so bitter. Not a good look...
Yes, but it's her true self because she's fake and a hypocrite from watching her over the years.
You didn’t expect that? This woman has the thinnest skin and is one of the meanest EVER
Sad
Eh, I’d still nail her🤷🏻♂️
BeatGoat she’s a bitter bitch
Kathie Lee proving that Kristen's imitation is right on the mark, lol.
This was hysterical, esp. since Hoda was so enjoying the spoof of SNL's Kathie Lee and wow, SNL's take was so spot on.
The only difference betwee Wiig and Lee is that Wiig is better in EVERYTHING.
Honestly this clip just proves how accurate Kristin Wiig’s impression is hahaha it’s actually eerie.
Kristen Wiig: The most lovable woman in America. KLG: The most loathsome woman in america. nuff said
5:50 THIS is exactly the mannerisms Kristin Wigg is spoofing so brilliantly!
Kathie Lee: See the difference?
Everyone with ears: Umm, no
@@B0BBYSW0RLD that's exactly what I was thinking.
This clip is honestly perfect because it proves exactly the point of the SNL sketches. She happily mocks Hoda and the others but when she's the butt of the joke suddenly she gets all pissy.
She was trying to make fun of your singing, she can sing.
i hate when people get so pissy about comedy, they're doing it to make people laugh and snl is usually very funny with impersonations.
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.
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.
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!

This just makes her parody of her even better
I wanna give kathie a high five, with a chair,on her face.

omg I love Kristen Wig, she is so funny!!
Hoda has great attitude towards this. She has sense of humor
Wow, Miss Wiig, you got it SPOT ON

Kathie Lee should watch the secret life of Walter Mitty....because Kristen Wiig can DEFINITELY sing and she shows it in that film

Kathie Lee: We are feminists
Also Kathie Lee: *goes off trying to bring Kristen down with every comment she makes* 🙄
I have never been as big a fan of Kathie as she is of herself.She thinks she is AMAZING.
Kathie Lee, you had your chance to be cool...
Hailey Madsen i bet you smoke one of those everyday...
After watching this, Kristin's impersonation is spot on.
Kristin Wiig is such a funny talent. Love her impersonations of Kathie Lee!
Kathie Lee: "I didn't see it. I'm passed out by 9:00pm"🤣
kristen is singing it live and she sounded good, why dont you sing yours live Kathie Lee! and see who sings it better. I bet Kristen does sing better than you!
Apple Kid and
Hard to stay up past 9 o'clock when you start drinking at noon.
10 am.
I never watched the today show until I saw Kristen, but turns out it's barely a parody.
Wiig has 100x the talent, looks, sense of humor, personality and everything else as Kathy Lee.
Kristen wiig's only doing her job, i'd laugh if i were in her situation.
Ironically, Kathie Lee and Kristen Wiig bear a real life resemblance to each other. LOL
Dont insult Wiig like that
She knows how accurate Kristen Wiig's impression of her really is
"I studied music at a Liberal Arts college in Oklahoma I know what good singing is"
This seemed like an SNL skit LOL
"They said Hoda's story was boring."
NO they made Kathie say that Hoda's story was boring in the parody.
To show how bitchy she can be to Hoda in the Today's show. That's a whooooooole different scenario there, ladies.
Also, I never watched the Today show, I'm Dutch (Holland, the Netherlands) and I have to say, Kristen's impression is spot on.
The SNL skit was so. SPOT. ON. 😂
Kathie Lee likes painting the target on her back
Gah!! Kathy Lee such a sore sport!!
It's a slang term in the south means "gosh or god"
Hailey Madsen do you just go through comments looking for people to make fun of? Who hurt you lol.
Wow! Sour grapes! I thought Kathie Lee has mellowed out but I was wrong. How'd she land that Today gig anyway? What a party pooper!
Laughter Touches Alot Of Lives Too Kathy ❤️

I love Kristen Wiig her impression was hilarious
It's not Kristen's fault these two drink at 9 am in the morning every day (great role models).
There’s a strange awkwardness in the atmosphere like Hoda is being held hostage but is being forced to maintain an air of contrived joy, reminds me of that psychological horror movie Funny Games.
Kristin and the whole sketch nailed it 👌
the irony of the black eyed peas in that sketch
By being such a concieted diva, all Kathie Lee did here was make Kristen Wiig's impression even funnier.
I love how they chose to show those moments where no one was laughing
That sketch is amazing! Kristen is the best impersonator
HAHAHAAA "everyone has a headache!!"
And as if it couldn't get worse, she goes on to praise anti-choice, anti-gay Sarah Palin as a "feminist".
Benjamin Rome Clarke yea right
"Hoda's story is boring..."
The real Kathie Lee laughs lol
Then I laugh 😂
It's so normal they are talking over each other like interrupting but not pissed.
How can you not love Kathie Lee!!
Are you serious?
kristen wiig just has an ovewhelming plethora of pure amazing talent! kathie lee is nowhere near her!
I’m surprised they’re not drinking wine here. 🍷 😂🤣
Came here to look at the real Kathie Lee. Kristen's impression is dead on. The facial expressions!
Lol I had no idea the song was real! That was hilarious when the real song started playing. Kristen wiig NAILED IT
At least Kristen does more than goes on TV for an hour and drinks wine while making her snotty facial expressions, talking about nothing worthwhile.
Love it, Kathy Lee doesn't think it's funny, that answers a lot of questions on her sense of humor.
Not her sense of humour as much as her insecurity
Such an accurate portrayal. These two are so chaotic.
Oh my god. This was everything!
Don't make me sing..
I don't know where to come in
it's like she is intentionally doing a parody of herself - or is she really always like that? :D Anyway, this makes the sketch so much funnier :'D
This is ICONIC!!!! ❤❤❤😂😂😂
This had me LMAO!!! Kristen is queen for sure, she was not only funny doing some roles, she was VERY funny.
I have yet to see Hoda get a word in edgewise. Kathie Lee is an attention hogger. So narcissistic and smart aleck!!! Ugh! I'd love to enjoy the show without K.L. Hoda is calm, classy, self-effacing and smart.
