Kate McKinnon's Touching 'SNL' Cold Open Continues This Week's Grieving Process

By Dustin Rowles | Saturday Night Live | November 12, 2016 |

Kate McKinnon — as Hillary — does a straight version of the recently departed Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah. There is no joke. That’s it. She ends it with, “I’m not giving up, and neither should you.” It is incredible, and thank you, Kate McKinnon.

A fitting song to memorialize what is essentially a national tragedy, and a proper tribute to Cohen.
