Clinton Stumps on SNL
Dormer Presidential Candidate Mayor Rudolph Giuliani (right) appears on "Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update" with Seth Meyers (left) Saturday March 1, 2008 to explain the collapse of his campaign -- blaming his 1997 hosting appearance during which he donned a dress.

Like last week, Saturday Night Live opened with a debate sketch parodying a recent Clinton-Obama debate, with the Dems played by SNL regulars. The real Hillary appeared immediately after with an “Editorial Response.”

Asked how her campaign was going, she cheerfully responded, “Very, very well,” adding with mock suspicion, “why, what have you heard?” Clinton, who referenced another SNL sketch during last week’s debate, said her appearance wasn’t an endorsement. Rudy Giuliani appeared later on the show, likening his campaign to an SNL skit: “It started strong, but you don’t have an ending.” (More Hillary Clinton stories.)
