"Girlfriend, you are so on" will be cemented in history as the most iconic sentence uttered during the Democratic debates.

Marianne Williamson — spiritual leader, author, and 2020 hopeful — said during the debate that her first phone call would be to the prime minister of New Zealand. "I will tell her, 'Girlfriend, you are so on.' Because the United States of America is going to be the best place in the world for a child to grow up."

It didn't take long for Kate McKinnon to wheel out an incredibly uncanny impersonation of Williamson. "My plan is to gather all the sage in America and burn it," said McKinnon. "My plan is to harness the energy of babies to finally put a man on the moon, and I said to the president of New Zealand, 'Girlfriend, you are so on.'

"And I say to Donald Trump, 'Boyfriend, you chill.'"
