Kate McKinnon Talks The View Impersonations From SNL

Kate McKinnon took the time to talk about many of her impersonations from Saturday Night Live. These included impersonations of the women from The View. One of the people that McKinnon impersonated was Joy Behar.

While it poked fun at Behar and The View, the talk show host was happy about it. In the past, Fred Armisen had portrayed Joy in Saturday Night Live sketches about The View. Behar feels Kate McKinnon was an improvement.

“I wanted to do the most fabulous Joy Behar that had ever been done. Sometimes it just doesn’t come,” McKinnon said. “I adore you, and it was an honor.” She said sometimes it doesn’t work, like when they had her do Rudy Guliani, which didn’t make her happy with the performance. However, she loved what she did with Joy.

When Joy said that she just had to trump the guys who played her in the past, Kate said that she felt she did it well and was happy with the final product. She did say that the sketch was written by people who love The View.
