Creepy Kellyanne Conway Stalks Tapper on SNL After Not Getting Booked: ‘I’m Not Going to Be IGNORED, Jake!’

SNL‘s Beck Bennett reprised a cable news role from this season on tonight’s episode: CNN’s Jake Tapper, who gets an unexpected visit from Kellyanne Conway in the form of a Fatal Attraction parody.

“I just want to be a part of the news, Jake,” she says after she breaks into Jake Tapper’s home when the CNN anchor refuses to book Conway due to her credibility issues. “What was I supposed to do?” she said after forcing herself onto the State Of The Union host.

“You’re sick, Kellyanne!” Tapper says in desperate defense. He offers other CNN programming opportunities for her to appear on.

“Fareed Zakaria?! I have an office in the White House!” she says before asking if she is deserving of the same pity bookings that Kayleigh McEnany gets.

An exhausted Tapper finally says, “You’re a monster!” before falling backwards out of a window in the dark and twisted sketch.

The sketch is a decidedly harsher tone than what the comedy show opted for earlier in the season, back when Conway was simply the Donald Trump campaign manager; McKinnon and Bennett appeared in a sketch at the time about the strained Conway trying uselessly to enjoy a well-deserved day off. Tonight’s episode of Saturday Night Live is hosted by Alec Baldwin with musical performances by Ed Sheeran, and check out Melissa McCarthy‘s return to as the podium-ramming press secretary Sean Spicer from earlier tonight.
