To Love, Honor and Stalk - SNL 

I love how they nailed the stilted acting of the typical Lifetime drama.

That's the craziest skit I've seen on SNL. RIP John McCain. He was a good sport.

I actually think John Mccain missed his true calling in life, he was brilliant with his brief cameo in parks and rec as well

She's in full makeup and *earings* in the shower, this is so perfect!

Lol John McCain was so good for someone who isn’t an actor!

The opening shot is not even from Vancouver, British Colombia but instead of Montreal, Quebec! Hahaha! I'm convinced it was on purpose. Love those subtle jokes 😅

Of all the politicians to have hosted SNL, Senator McCain was my favorite. He was self-deprecating, could take a joke and was actually quite good as an actor. He didn’t even break at times when other seasoned actors might. Though I didn’t agree with his politics, I always saw him as a fair-minded, down-to-earth leader who would buck his party when it was the right thing to do. His love for this country and commitment to service was evident. He walked the talk. Before I knew who the 2008 Democratic Presidential nominee or GOP VP nominee were, I seriously considered voting for McCain. He would have been a good President, I think. Had a candidate lesser than Obama run; had he not selected Palin, I think he would have won. I often wonder where the US would be had McCain been POTUS instead of W. Imagine, no Dick Cheney, no Karl Rove, no Rumsfeld. He would have selected two Supreme Court justices, too. I strongly doubt he would have pursued an invasion of Iraq had he been given the true intelligence. There are a lot of things I think he would have called BS on the spot. RIP, Senator McCain. You were one of the good ones, a dying breed for sure. You will be sorely missed.

Very cool of John McCain to do this!

This sketch is destined to be a comedy classic. R.I.P to senator John McCain. He will be missed.

OMG, I can't believe that's John McCain. He was so good in this.

i always shower in full makeup and soft lighting!

Watching this 10 years later and find myself missing John McCain, one of the few Republicans I ever respected. Didn't agree with him on lots of stuff, but he was able to compromise and reach across the aisle. Glad he's not around to see what our Congress has devolved into.

RIP John McCain. As an Australian we always recognised this man as a fine heroic noble person. He was a great actor too - very brave of him to do this.

Honestly, one of the funniest skits I’ve seen on SNL. RIP John McCain. You will be sincerely missed. And you had a killer sense of humor.

May many backs get loofahed tonight. R.I.P. to a generally good politician, a true patriot and one hell of a comedian.

This is in British Columbia, but the police officer was wearing a New York City Police uniform. You could also see the microphone. I love how the imperfections make the skit better.

SNL needs to replay this episode. The whole thing was hilarious.

NYPD in Vancounver... Seems legit

tbh that intro was funny enough for an entire video! :D

R.I.P. John McCain. He was not just a good man and patriot but also knew how to have fun and make people laugh. We have a lot to learn from John McCain and his example.

With a deep a heartbreak, in my heart. Combination with laughter and tears watching a great SNL skit performance, from a great Maverick Senator. RIP Senator. You have always been, real, human, humble and reachable to all the people. You was rare, and irreplaceable. Greatly will be missed. RIP Senator. Rest In Power.

I love how they never leave Vancouver, yet they keep clarifying where they are

What! That is actually John McCain!

OMG I totally forgot about this skit he was hillarious.

RIP Senator Mccain 💖💖💖

I don't know why I've never seen this one. All my favorite SNL comics and John McCain in one skit. This is awesome.

With a show of hands, how many Americans remember this SNL skit ? I never saw this till now. Some people work all day and go straight to bed after a meal or just hit the bars on weekends. This was a riot in the comedy world... Comedy gold.

Amy is one of the best at saying ridiculous things with a completely straight face.

John McCain was a treasure. He wasn’t the typical Republican. He’s the only one who did SNL.

Did anyone else realise that the shot of "Vancouver, British Columbia, 1999" is actually of Montreal?

A true American hero. Rest in Peace Hero, Navy Pilot,Congressman and Senator John McCain. God bless you fellow #Virgo.

“Our 4 year old thought we moved without him” xD. I’m not gonna lie this sketch wasn’t doing it for me but the end brought it home nicely

R.i.p. senator McCain....God speed ❤

McCain look like an old chubby brad pitt :P

1. Personal space 2. Personal space 3. Stay out of my personal space 4. Keep away from my personal space 5. Get out of that personal space 6. Stay away from my personal space 7. Keep away from that personal space 8. Personal space 9. Personal space

Man!! Maya Rudolph was cute as hell

John McCain was surprisingly hilarious. I miss the days when Republicans actually had decency. Those days are gone

all the based on a true story movies in a nutshell.

Oh my god, this aged perfectly.

Wow!!!that was really John Mccain!!!!I am amazed at his sense of humour....that was really unusual from a politician....and so I really respect him as a person now!!!RIP

Omg🤣🤣🤣😬I'm actually a survivor of domestic abuse...my partner was charged and convicted of 2nd degree attempted murder.....but this CHEERED me up!! Omg....there is SOO much of this bullshit!!! Thank you SNL... I truly love you♡♡♡

John McCain was great in this, I kept looking at the video thinking “wait a second, is that who I think it is?” RIP. He was a good sport apparently, on top of everything he accomplished.

Love the NYPD shirt patch on the "Vancouver" Officer

Only Republican that was worth a dam

Senator McCain was SO DAMN FUNNY!! R.I P. ❤🌹🇱🇷

Gillian: Suppose I were invading his personal space? Officer: That would be different, he's a man. LMAO!!!!!!

LMAO, my mum and I love these Lifetime movies!!! This was funny!

20 years ago, the last time I watched lifetime, it was about a widow who was taking the kids to their lost fathers grave. They also brought their little new puppy. The father was in the woods and shot the puppy with a sniper rifle and scope. I wonder how the father knew that puppy was out to get him.

Amy looks gorgeous here.

This sketch could go on for hours and still be great

I really loved John McCain in this! Also McCain does Streisand is a classic sketch! RIP🙏🏻

It took me a moment before I was like "Holy shit thats actually john mccain"

Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph's are the best!

Sen. John McCain knocked this one out the park.. God rest his soul.

"When I graduated in 1996, there were very few states where women were allowed to practice law."😃

The music in this! So accurate!!!

John McCain is a true American hero!!!!!

We will miss you John McCain 💖💖

I admire John McCain. For creeping me the hell out.

Well, I just watched this 9-min- movie like it was any other 2-hour movie. So into it

RIP, John McCain

Every lifetime movie ever. And #JohnMcCain is hilarious. Watching his memorial service, it was very clear that he had a wicked sense of humor.

The last of the noble Republicans. End of an era1

Lmao that opening panorama is Montreal

John McCain was a surprisingly good actor. He definitely gives funny creepy in this sketch.

better than a lifetime movie

I've never seen this skit, and I have seen them all 4x over. Also, over 9 minutes long. Most importantly, great skit.😂😂😂 PS: If I did not read the comments, I would have never realized that was John McCain on SNL playing a great role. I am impressed. Truly one of the most real politicians ever, regardless of your politics...

My god, did this really happen?!

oh lord, I feel like such a fool for watching Lifetime movies now, lol. this is so spot on!!!!

Love that this footage has been saved. I was a preteen when this happened when I lived in North Central Indiana and I listened to it on the radio.

Back then this was a parody on lifetime drama. Today this could be a parody for news channels

That's Montreal in the opening photo, not Vancouver. I recognized it straightaway. The round building, for example, is McGill's Medical Library. ☺

The only thing they got wrong is that lifetime movies pretend Vancouver is NY, or LA, or Philly, or any major American city despite everyone sounding Canadian

Ahh, what are you doing here? Um... I live here.

Lol..this is hilarious..personal space infringer. 😂 2:49

Omg. He was so funny on this skit. RIP

You held your own with the incomparable Amy Poehler, Rest In Paradise Senator McCain! You ALWAYS have my vote!

I knew that was John McCain!! He did great and looked like he really enjoyed it. RIP John. I think it's a blessing this true patriot parted when he did bc he would be so heartbroken and disappointed with what his party has become. Agree or disagree with his politics, he loved his country and served it with honor, unlike a certain convicted felon

wtf ? I just noticed it's john mccain !!

John McCain ❤️❤️ I haven't seen my husband all day and I wish he was here to loofah my back, tbh

RIP McCain

Danielle Steele vibes 😂 feel embarrassed being 36 n knowing this reference

RIP John McCain. An American hero and funny as Hell human being with a good sense of humor!

Damn John I didn't realize you were a good actor too!!

Wow! An all-star Lifetime cast. 😂

3:10 the knowing wink-gotta watch for those telltale signs, ladies amirite

"Thank you for your courage and your truth." "Okay, whatever." Outrage culture predicted.

John McCain was so surprisingly good in this. Who'd have thought? Great man.

John McCain really showed his ability as a funny man.

IS THAT SEN. MCCAIN???

The police department in Vancouver, British Columbia…then the police officer wearing an NYPD uniform 😂

Maya’s acting is spot on.

I love how Amy makes ppl laugh when all she is doing is taking her head set off and sitting down at the desk lol

OMG! It really is John McCain!🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wow! They really had Senator, John McCain, as a guest star! He was so funny & an actor! R.I.P. Senator McCain, You are very much missed & We remember, when You had a walk-on part on the Fox Show: "24" with Kiefer Sutherland. This was truly funny!

The plot of this skit aged so well into year 2024. Scary.

Have to be honest…I’m liberal but I saw this episode as a teenager and I’ll love McCain forever because of it.

Its so like a lifetime movie i cant tell when im supposed to laugh.

Omg, I never knew he hosted! I have to watch the whole episode later 😂

John McCaine is cool ....
