EARLIER THIS WEEK, Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway became embroiled in an unlikely scandal when she was pictured kneeling on the couch in the Oval Office:
People were not impressed that she had her feet on the couch, forcing her to come out and clarify her actions on Fox.
I was being asked to take a picture in a crowded room with the press behind us, and I was asked to take a certain angle and was doing exactly that. I certainly meant no disrespect. I didn’t mean to have my feet on the couch.
This didn’t stop the incident being labeled ‘couchgate’, or the photo becoming a bit of a meme:
Whoops!

Kate McKinnon has been playing Conway on Saturday Night Live for the past few months, and last night, they referenced the furore in a subtle but excellent way.
They didn’t devote a whole bit to it – instead, viewers spotted McKinnon silently kneeling and texting in the background of other sketches:
It was like a politically-themed Where’s Wally. Where would she pop up next?
Needless to say, viewers were into it:
Keep knocking it out of the park, SNL.
