Dressed up as the Democratic candidate and seated at a piano, McKinnon performed Hallelujah by the late Leonard Cohen...
The cold open served both as a moment of solidarity with those rocked by the election’s outcome and as tribute to the virtuosic songwriter, who died earlier this week.
McKinnon ended the solemn performance with a heartening message: "I’m not giving up and neither should you and live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!"
