Kate McKinnon playing Kellyanne Conway as 'IT' will haunt Twitter forever.

I see your terrifying box office experience with Pennywise the Clown, and I raise you SNL&#39;s Kate McKinnon playing Kellyanne Conway as &#39;IT,&#39; a truly iconic trifecta of horror.Last night&#39;s episode of SNL had some zingers, but the most conceptually ambitious sketch of the night featured McKinnon as a rain-soaked &quot;Kellywise the Clown,&quot; luring Anderson Cooper (played by Alex Moffat) to the sewer for some hot broadcasting quotes.&quot;Put me on TV,&quot; Kellywise hisses, before promising Cooper the most on-brand Conway quotes possible. &ldquo;Puerto Rico actually was worse before Hurricane Maria and the hurricane actually did blow some buildings back together and I don&rsquo;t know why Elizabeth Warren won&rsquo;t tweet about that.&quot;At different points, McKinnon even shapeshifts into Hillary Clinton and Rachel Maddow whilst in the sewer. All the while, Cooper attempts to resist her terrifying request to be a featured television guest.In keeping with the It theme, the sketch ends as pure nightmare fuel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=228&amp;v=Hlt3rA-oDaoPeople on Twitter will are feeling emotionally haunted by this bit.#SNL: Kate McKinnon&#39;s Kellyanne Conway returns as the scariest monster of the summer https://t.co/oGe1vrhP0F pic.twitter.com/TM3WnFZwnh&mdash; VANITY FAIR (@VanityFair) October 15, 2017 Hey @KellyannePolls, if SNL can only effectively satirize you by comparing you to “It”, you need a new line of work. https://t.co/x77mR0A1O3&mdash; Matthew Chapman (@fawfulfan) October 15, 2017 https://twitter.com/AidenWolfe/status/919414354944065542That Kellyanne Conway/Pennywise spoof from IT was scarier than the actual IT movie. #SaturdayNightLive #SNL&mdash; Ellie (@AnAnomellie) October 15, 2017 Don&#39;t know what&#39;s scarier, the real Kellyanne or #Kellywise #SNL&mdash; This is bullshit 🦓💥☭🐬 (@TheDeau) October 15, 2017 Twitter also gave huge props to McKinnon for her performance.Kate McKinnon deserves all the Emmys until the end of time for Kellyanne Conway AND HILLARY.
