Kate McKinnons Kellyanne Conway went full Fatal Attraction on Beck Bennetts Jake Tapper in a biting Saturday Night Live sketch that mocked the White House advisers credibility issues and need for the spotlight.
SNL previously gave Conway the Chicago treatment in a recent episode to encapsulate her insatiable hunger for fame, but the show traversed a darker cinematic terrain after CNN deprived Conway of airtime following the Bowling Green Massacre incident.
In the sketch inspired by the 1987 thriller about a thwarted lover who terrorizes a family man after a brief affair a nightgown-wearing Conway surprised Tapper in his apartment after the anchor rejected her media availability.
After first attempting to seduce her way back onto the news I wanna get micd. I wanna feel that hot, black mic pressed against my skin she instead issued threats while waving a knife at the CNN anchor.
Fine, Ill do something else. Ill do something really crazy, Conway warned. What if I do a free commercial for Ivankas shoes live on air?
As Conway became more violent, Tapper acquiesced, first offering her a spot on Fareed Zakarias show Fareed Zakaria? I have an office in the fucking White House, Kellyanne shouted before ultimately relenting and allowing the advisor back on his show.
A satisfied Conway bragged, Im Kellyanne Conway and I always get my Kellyanne Con-way before accidentally plunging out of Tappers window. She survived, using up one of her lives in the process.
