At least one member of the Trump administration has minimal comment about Saturday Night Live.

In a profile in The Hollywood Reporter, Kellyanne Conway said: "Kate McKinnon clearly sees the road to the future runs through me and not Hillary."

"I'm known as much more happy than maybe the character sometimes is," Conway said of her SNL incarnation, in a video along with THR's interview. "I liked the 'Walking on Sunshine,' I liked 'Kellyanne's Day Off,' that was much more me."

The full interview goes into Conway's exposure on camera, her and the President's desire to upset and uproot the media, as well as why she turned down the position of Press Secretary.

"I told him when he offered me the job, the very last thing I said to him, was I don't consider myself to be your peer, and I will not call you by your first name," she told reporter Michael Wolff. "And some of the feminists may go crazy … but it's called respect, and it's called deference, and it's called hierarchy."

Stoking the fury of the media, she seemed to have a skin so thick, or, more strangely, a sense of the Trump mission so strong (even though, as a Cruz partisan, she once had neatly dismissed Trump), and a contempt for the media so natural, that virtually nothing ruffled her. Whatever wounds she might have secretly nursed were soothed by the fact that she was "taking many other people's TV time," presumably, most of all, that of the Trump enemies.

Conway goes on to quote Hamilton, to discuss plans of moving her family to D.C. and living a normal, copacetic Washington life.

Kate McKinnon, if she's reading this, is likely already working on the next hit.
