Kathie Lee not happy about SNL skit

This weekend's horrible
Saturday Night Live featured another takeoff on the Kathie Lee Gifford/Hoda Kotb hour of Today and the two hosts talked about it on their show. Hoda thought it was funny (and so did the crew) and that Kristen Wiig can sing. Kathie Lee didn't like it (well, she liked the part about Hoda).
To be honest, I don't think this is the best sketch they've done about Hoda and Kathie Lee. Maybe she'll think the other ones they've done are funny (probably not). (Stay through the talk about Palin as Hoda and Kathie Lee talk about the sketch more.)

I can't believe someone who's as big a joke as Kathy Lee is can't appreciate the humor. I howled when the Black Eyed Peas beat up "Kathy".

I personally think SNL has not been great since the 90's as that was the last group of semi-funny people. The "Not Ready For Prime Time Players" were the absolute BEST no dispute there. And the current SNL line up realy sucks hard. They are NOT funny in he slightest. However, the skit about Kathy Lee and Hoda was pretty funny. I was laughing. What's funnier is the way Hoda is really giving it to Kathy Lee here on the Today show. LOL!! Wiig really got Kathy Lee spot on. Get over it Kathy Lee... Whether you're and A-lister or a has been D-lister, like YOU Kathy Lee, you're ALL fair game.

Kristen Wiig was impersonating Kathie Lee's singing. So I guess Kathie Lee is really saying Kathie Lee can't sing! I agree. (and KW is way more talented than KLG---not just in singing!)

I think Kathy Lee is adorable! People like to jump on the bandwagon of anyone under the microscope and hate someone just because it's the popular choice. Kathy Lee was goodhearted about the skit, however tasteless that it was. SNL has never been and never will be as funny as the original "Not ready for primetime players".

How could anyone ruin a Kathy Lee Gifford song? I am sorry, Hoda, but you have lost all credibility since you teamed up with KLG...

IMPERSONATIONS ARE RARELY FUNNY IN SKITS. THINK IM WRONG? THEN WATCH A SKIT IN PROGRESS AND GUESS WHO IS BEING SPOOFED! SNL HAS HUNDREDS OF THEM.

TOO BAD! Sorry, honey...if you are a celebrity, you ARE NOT above being made fun of. I thought that the sketch was funny. I really don't care for the last hour of the Today Show. She and Hoda just 'don't have it'. NBC should change the format back to 3 hours and eliminate those two totally.
It is in bad taste to make fun of Governor Paterson, but those on SNL don't. GET USED TO IT KATHY!

Wow, poor Kathy Lee just proves that she's worth parodying. At least Hoda is normal-ish.
Wouldn't it be great if Kristin Wiig came on one morning. She probaby wouldn't but it would be funny if she did.

Anyone who has any interest in this stuff needs to get a real life. Do you ever do anything productive ? Bet you are all liberal Obama supporters.

It was hilarious!! I love the parodies, why does KL get all bent out of shape over it then love the Hoda part of the song? I thought KL could take a joke.
