SNL spoofs Hillary Clinton’s 3AM phone call
- Text size
David Edwards and Chris Tackett
Raw Story
March 9, 2008
In a parody of the Clinton campaign’s ‘3 A.M.’ television ad, the opening sketch of Saturday Night Live poked fun at Senator Barack Obama.
The sketch portrays a frazzled President Obama calling Hillary Clinton at 3 A.M. to ask for advice on how to deal with Iran, as well as how to fix the White House heating system.
SNL has been satirizing the battle between Senators Clinton and Obama since the its return following the end of the writer’s strike. In late February, the show featured a sketch mocking CNN’s perceived pro-Obama bias during a CNN debate. And just last week, Senator Clinton herself was a surprise guest in the opening sketch, which again parodied the debates between the two candidates.
The video is from NBC’s Saturday Night Live, broadcast March 8, 2008.

:: I’m Hillary Clinton and I approve this unfair and deceptive message.
:: this election is about change. but it’s also about something else. experience.
:: it’s 3:00 a.m. across our country, kids are sound asleep. but somewhere in the nation’s capital, a phone is ringing. your vote will decide who answers that call.
:: hello? senator clinton, i have president obama on the line.
:: i’ll take it.
:: uh, hillary, i’m sorry to call this late again but i need your help.
:: mr. president, what can i do?
:: the cia just confirmed that iran has cleated a nuclear device. it looks like the russians, the north koreans, and hugo chavez have been helping them.
:: i was afraid of that. when did this start? apparently the day i was sworn in. those mother [ bleep ]. those [ bleep ]. [ bleep ]. i trusted them. i gave them my complete and total trust. and they [ bleep ] lied to me.
:: mr. president —
:: oh my god. i am so [ bleep ]. what do i do, hillary? what do i do?
:: mr. president, you can start by getting a hold of yourself.
:: i can’t! don’t you see that i’m in a panic? of blind, unreasoning? inexperienced panic?
:: for god’s sake, mr. president, man up. calm down and listen.
:: okay.
:: first of all, go to our key allies. the british, the germans, the french. and show them our intelligence.
:: oh, hold on, i’m trying to write this down. french. show intelligence. uh-huh, go on.
:: the russians will back down. helping iran is a clear violation of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty.
:: the what treaty?

:: you better not be.
:: well, i’m not. anyway, thanks again. i do apologize for calling so often.
:: i don’t mind, mr. president. it’s for the good of the country. although, if this is going to be a regular thing i feel as though i should get paid or something, because it’s like, you know, every night.
:: i understand.
:: is that it?
:: one other thing. i think the heat may be off in the white house.
:: really? completely off?
:: i think so. it’s [ bleep ] freezing in here. what do i do?
:: all right. go down to the basement, open the panel in front of the furnace —
:: hold on, let me get my pen.
:: open the panel on the furnace.
:: uh-huh.
:: you’ll see a red button. hit that once and wait about 45 seconds. it should come back on.
:: once again, i am amazed by the range and depth of your experience. i’d gladly trade all of my superficial charm.
:: i appreciate that, mr. president.
:: because this job is hard! i had no idea! i mean, it is a [ bleep ] ball buster!
:: would you kindly avoid the proat anity? it’s really one of your least attractive traits. that the public doesn’t know about.
:: sorry. before i go, is bill there?
:: it’s 3:00 a.m., what do you think? all right, call those allies.
:: yeah, yeah, i will. good-bye.
:: what you’ve just seen is a dramatization of a frightening future. a dramatization based on facts. well, not facts. more what we call specious campaign talking points. also, for legal reasons, i should point out there is absolutely no evidence that senator obama has ever used profanity, that he has started smoking again, or that he knows any less about home heating than i do. still, the point is, the future we’ve described doesn’t have to be. if you want a different future, a safe, competent, more experienced future, there is something you can do. you can call or write the offices of the democratic national committee and tell them, wait, we’ve changed our minds. with enough pressure, we can convince party leaders that nominating my opponent would be a huge mistake. so, whether you’re a life long democrat, concerned about our party’s chances in november, or a republican with your own agenda posing as a democrat, as far as we can tell they have no way of checking, we need you to get to the phone. it’s not too late. we can turn this around. yes, we can. i actually used that first. it’s true. i did. and one more thing. live from new york, it’s saturday night!

Hail Hillary, Queen of the Damned. Anyone that votes for Clinton votes for more corruption and more control over our lives. Enough is enough. She is just another liar and we all know she will abuse the system and then claim executive privilege or national security to prevent any disclosure of her lies and corporate sell out. She will get rich from selling out the country just like every other corrupt politician and or president. She will not listen to the public once elected and that is the truth and it scares me enough to voice my discontent with her type of politician. Having Hilliary in charge for any type of national emergency is enough to make me want to move out of America. She will be her own worst enemy and an enemy of the people of the United States of America.

Here recent Pr moves have been a good idea on her part. She has attacked all fronts, Daily Show, SNL, 700 Club. I think we may be hailing the queen, as our country spirals down the bowels of socalism with just a springle of facism for great taste. I’m not even sure what to do anymore, vote Ron Paul I guess, as a write-in. All I know is that in 1.5 years (not before the election, a good 6 months after is my guess) when the news and the neo-cons are screaming for the amero, then 6 months to 1 year later the NAU, the blood for the tree of liberty may begin to be spilled. I know, I will not stand for it, and my fellow Americans none of us should. The ball is not in our court anymore, we did what we could for Dr.Paul, but we have lost this battle, lets pray we will win this war.

I hope you guys aren’t supporting that pro-draft, pro-war (with Iran and Syria) Barack Obama though
March 10th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
Yea, until that ad of military apparel with … a … a … satanic cult appeal
March 10th, 2008 at 7:15 pm
This is awesome. Shows good truth though in a funny way.
