Shortly after Hillary Clinton officially earned the Democratic nomination from the convention role call vote, Elizabeth Banks entered to loosen things up a little bit.

It was a tense past day and a half as Bernie Sanders supporters loudly jeered at the mere mention of Clinton's name. But people, at least those most vocal, seemed to unify after Sanders stood to make the final vote in Clinton's nomination. When the prime time speaking engagements began, so did the jokes.

Banks, in her roll as the hostess for the evening's prime time speakers, walked out in a way that seemed very recognizable. Through smoke machines, shadowed in front of a blue background with Queen's "We are the Champions" playing, her entrance meant to mock the odd way Donald Trump first appeared on the opening night of the Republican National Convention.

And she admitted as such, before going off on a short roast of the reality television star.

Queen probably won't have a problem that she used the song.

My professional experience extends from newspaper reporting in the mountains of Eastern Oregon to fixing espresso machines throughout Kentucky. I also have kept a cat alive for 10 years.
