Rachel Maddow Interviews Pelosi, Boehner & Rangel On 'SNL' (VIDEO)

Last night's "Saturday Night Live" was full of great impressions, starting right away with the cold opening. Abby Elliot broke out her spot-on Rachel Maddow in a sketch where she interviews John Boehner, Nancy Pelosi and embattled Rep. Charles Rangel. Now that the dust has settled from the midterm elections, Maddow caught up with the representatives on what comes next. Highlights include Keenan Thompson as Rangel calling Maddow "young man," Pelosi mispronouncing Boehner's name, and Boehner recalling a vision of the American people telling him to lower the deficit but were "vague on the details."

Funny! Great impressions except for missing the opportunity to do the Rangel gravel-voice.

Rachel probably loved every minute of this. When you have made it to SNL you know how well known you have become!

Rachel femms it up a bit to satisfy her producers, but off TV she's a butch crossdresser, so calling her a boy would thrill her.

SNL? I thought they got canceled when Belushi and Akroyd left. Hm. They're still on?

I'm gay and as liberal as they come but I thought this was pretty damn funny... one of their best skits in a while.

"Nancy Pelosi, a woman who always looks like she's watching someone not use a coaster." Hysterical.

I love rachel, and I thought this was very funny. I laughed out loud at the "little boy" line (but would have liked Keenan to put a little more effort into Rangel's voice), and thought Kristin's "Pelosi stare" was spot on.

That and the Black Friday Store ad were the best things about the whole show.

That was a highlarious jab at Maddow. I'm sure she got a good laugh out of it when she saw that. She's the best sport in media. Kristin Wiig always kills me, too. Great Pelosi impersonation.

Hey NBC, if you don't' want to show the clip, don't show the commercial.

The other day I lectured at a local college. One student was an older woman who said she was a Tea Party supporter. She disagreed with my views because she follows the news closely. I asked her what the best news source was. She said "the Onion!" I am not kidding.

If this wasn't so sad, it would be funny. She really didn't know what the Onion was about?

She saved that joke for a long time.

Intelligence is attractive. So to me Rachel is very attractive and she can take anything that SNL dishes out. Parts of the skit were pretty damn funny yet some folks posting here seem to have no sense of humor.(if you never watch SNL, why bother commenting on it?) Rachel has a great one.

I'm sure Rachel took it as a compliment. A weird one. But still... lol
