SNL: Hillary Clinton Channels Love Actually to Woo Electoral College

A bare-chested Vladimir Putin (Beck Bennett) flew down Trump's chimney bare-chested, got buddy-buddy with future Secretary of State Rex Tillerson (played by national treasure John Goodman, looking very slim and trim), and told Donald all he'd wanted for Christmas was him.

Affleck is a commanding and committed dramatic actor with a movie to promote and a new beard to spice things up, but even he seemed puzzled about what he was doing onstage through most of the night, resigned to playing baffled bearded men, working-class Bostonites, or some combination thereof.

For actual honest laughter, SNL continued to lean hard on McKinnon, who -- in addition to resurrecting her Hillary impression -- inarguably won the night by bringing back her salty conspiracy-theorist character, who colorfully described her run-in with the lesser-known, goat-hooved Christmas Spirit "Krumpelmas."
