With Hillary Clinton set to officially announce her presidential campaign on Sunday, Saturday Night Live used the occasion to poke fun at her campaign, with a cameo from former President Bill Clinton, played by SNL alum Darrell Hammond.

During the cold opening, Clinton, played by Kate McKinnon, struggled to act naturally as she practiced her pre-recorded campaign. Clinton stressed the need to be a “voice for women everywhere” which prompted Bill Clinton to appear and ask “did someone say women everywhere?”  

Bill then beamed at how Hillary chose to announce her campaign via the internet and proclaimed “Isn’t it crazy that phones can take video now? I mean, if they could have done that in the ‘90s I’d be in jail.”

See the full video below.
