Trump aide Kellyanne Conway and her husband George’s conflicts over her boss get reimagined in a brilliant send-up of Netflix’s Golden Globe-nominated film Marriage Story on Saturday Night Live.

“I love our pet names for each other,” says McKinnon’s Conway.
“Hey loser,” she says to Bennett’s George.
