Megyn Kelly Reacts to Being Parodied on SNL

Saturday Night Live kicked off its most recent episode with a parody of Fox News’ The Kelly File. Cecily Strong played Megyn Kelly, and tonight, the Fox host reacted to being the latest news person parodied on the long-running sketch show.

In the segment in question, SNL‘s Kelly put Chris Christie and nurse Kaci Hickox on the hot seat over their respective roles in the nation’s Ebola scare. Kelly wasn’t necessarily the butt of any jokes, though the faux-Christie did tell her quite bluntly to shut up.

Kelly played a clip of the bit, expressed bewilderment at being parodied on a show she’s watched for years, and said, “Cecily Strong was pretty good, although I think her voice should be a little deeper and something else on her should be a little smaller.” (Her hair, of course.)
