The show Saturday night was funny as usual, but had a political undertone during her guest spot on the news segment, that hit the mark in regard to women empowerment, and showed a current and powerful example by Fey of how not to follow the leader, and to make up one's own mind in regard to the Democratic presidential election.
To paraphrase, Fey remarked about women as feminists, and the "new feminism", why they are not for Hillary Clinton, but "who Oprah tells them to vote for". She said that people may not vote for Hillary because they think she's a "bitch," or that they feel funny that there would be two co-presidents in the White House, "yeah, two intelligent, able-bodied people to get the job done, we wouldn't want that". During her guest spot on the news segment, people cheered and clapped, for what Fey said touched the right chord with the live audience, who are made up of not just New Yorkers, but tourists as well.
She also proclaimed Bitch Power," including herself and Amy Poehler amongst the bitches, and that "the bitches get the job done". As an original SNL writer, Fey wrote much of the news segment, aside from acting and joking around.
Before Fey took the stage, the audience previously had a laugh at Mike Huckabee, poking fun at himself during a skit with Seth Myers, which involved delegates and Democrats, and that he didn't know that those delegates didn't apply to him, a Republican, the skit obviously a farce.
