Talk about a meta fail.
Laura Ingraham took a moment out of her Monday evening show to try her hand at improv comedy. To the surprise of, frankly, no one, it didn’t go well.
Ingraham attempted to mimic SNL funny woman Kate McKinnon, who had a show-stopping moment on last weekend’s edition of the comedy stalwart when she mimicked the homophobic Fox News host.
Ingraham tried to return in kind, performing an awkward monologue attempting to impersonate McKinnon impersonating her.
How about we take this to the next level?

“Now there is a reason I like Kate McKinnon,” Ingraham slurred, head lolling about like a water balloon on a stick. “I have so much respect for her as talent.”
“She is so even-handed in the political commentary, but seriously, think of all the low-hanging fruit provided by Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi. Little Petey B and the squad on a near-daily basis. I think this is kind of comedy gold, don’t you?”
Ingraham closed her cringeworthy attempt at humor by offering to appear on SNL and play herself, or, better yet, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
“I’m a member of SAG but I will do it for free,” Ingraham joked.
Ingraham may have thought she nailed McKinnon, but viewers felt otherwise. Here’s what people are saying about her ill-fated attempt at satire…
@IngrahamAngle That SNL thing really got to you, didn’t it, Sunshine? ?

Laura Ingraham is so butt hurt by SNL that she's goes on TV to do a schoolyard imitation of the person making fun of her.
So when you think about it, Kate McKinnon actually tricked Ingraham into doing the most accurate impression of Ingraham ever.
I just blew your minds. Boom https://t.co/fWBe5isRUk

The best part about this is that Kate McKinnon absolutely hit the mark and Laura Ingraham isn’t doing herself any favors by calling attention to it.#FauxNews https://t.co/ctPSRfKu6Z

I look forward to Kate McKinnon’s impression of Laura Ingraham doing an impression of Kate McKinnon. That is the meta-verse I care about… https://t.co/OFRJOvEBQD

Ah, Laura's ratings so low she thinks a Kate impression will help her. I won't watch FOX but I WILL watch SNL, especially for these hilarious impressions!

Check out McKinnon’s performance below.
Mr. Stadnick
Fox news’ Eva Braun is not know for either her sense of humor or humanity. She is known for being a hate filled harridan. She should stick to her job misreporting the news and telling lies.

First Candace now her? These GQP losers are begging to go on SNL and they don’t realize, much like most of normal America, they don’t want them. Pathetic
fredk3
is laura’s show supposed to be a news program? or did she just pull away the curtain and reveal what a load of nonsense it is to her cult viewers?

I bet Kate McKinnon has to have a shower after doing an impression of Ugly Butthole Ingram

something she does with her teeth makes me think she has a hard time keeping saliva from drooling down the sides of her mouth.
