This weekend's episode of Saturday Night Live featured Hillary Clinton with a similar sketch recreated from last week's Democratic debate.

The SNL episode portrayed NBC anchors Brian Williams and Tim Russert asking Clinton, played by Amy Poehler, tough questions while attacking Barack Obama.

Following the sketch, the real Hillary Rodham Clinton appeared on television with an "editorial response," however, neither candidate received an official endorsement from the show.

Clinton's campaign has gotten a good deal of mileage out of an "SNL" sketch from a week ago in which reporters fawned over her rival, Barack Obama. She brought up the sketch during last Tuesday's debate between the two Democratic candidates, and the Hillary campaign has encouraged supporters and voters to watch it on NBC's Web site.

"I simply adore Amy's impression of me," Clinton said.

When Poehler asked her how the political campaign was going, Clinton responded: "The campaign is going very well. Very, very well. Why, what have you heard?"

It was the third consecutive episode of "SNL" featuring a presidential contender. Republican candidate Mike Huckabee appeared on "Weekend Update" last week. On a November episode of "SNL," the last before the Writers Guild of America strike, Obama played himself as a guest at a party thrown by Hillary and Bill Clinton.

Ohio has lost thousands of jobs over the past few years, so it’s no surprise that she will take aim at bread-and-butter economic issues during her tour.

Clinton is also scheduled to appear on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" on Monday.
