‘SNL’ Skewers The Women Of ‘The View’; They Respond

April 14, 2019 8:22am

Saturday Night Live took its shot at the foibles of the women of The View (Leslie Jones, Aidy Bryant, Kate McKinnon, Cecily Strong, Melissa Villaseñor), with special guest Jenny McCarthy (Emma Stone) welcomed to the show.

Almost beyond parody, the panel of “best friends who have nothing in common,” as Jones/Goldberg put it, took on some of the weighty issues of the day. Best shot: Meghan McCain describing herself as “The Princess of Arizona” during a discussion on immigration.

The bit was received well by members of the real-life View cast:

As a human mom this was hilarious… https://t.co/3CZZssEP5S

I’m not supposed to be on twitter because of hiatus BUT this sketch is hilarious, and being parodied by @SNL is a huge pop cultural honor. – Signed, your old intern and “the princess of Arizona” 😜🌵 https://t.co/HUtON4Xi3V

Took too long, but am so glad to FINALLY see a bad-ass Latina comedian on @nbcsnl, I don’t even mind @melissavcomedy spoofing my daily tirades. All in good fun. Laughter’s good for the soul. Yes! What Trump (I prefer #PresidentLoco), is doing at border, is shameful. It is nasty! https://t.co/3rw5UXBQwG
