[BECK BENNETT AS JAKE TAPPER] Welcome back to The Lead. We are speaking with Kellyanne Conway, Donald Trump's campaign manager turned White House counselor
[KATE McKINNON as KELLYANNE CONWAY] Mm-kay, thank you, Jake
[TAPPER] President Trump said his first foreign trip may be to meet with Vladimir Putin. Isn't that troubling?
[McKINNON] Actually, no, it's not. And the thing to remember about Russia is that we won and I don't know why you keep bringing up the election
[TAPPER] I'm not. I'm talking about Russia. Doesn't Trump's relationship with Putin concern you?
[CONWAY] Actually, no. What does concern me is that she didn't go to Michigan. She lost and we won. And we did win
[TAPPER] Oh my god, why do you do this?
[CONWAY] Do what, Jake?
[TAPPER] Come on here every single day and do this. What do you get out of this?
[CONWAY] I love Trump. And I believe in Trump. And the reason I joined his campaign is because I thought he's going to be the president for all people
[TAPPER] Really? That's really what you thought?
[CONWAY] Mm-hmm, yes, that's what I thought
[TAPPER] And that's all you thought?
[CONWAY] Well...[MUSIC BEGINS] I guess if I'm being completely honest, Jake, I just also think...
[SINGING BEGINS]
[CONWAY] The name on everybody's lips is gonna be
Conway
The lady raking in the chips is gonna be
Conway
I'm gonna be a celebrity
That means somebody everyone knows
They're going to recognize my eyes
My hair my teeth, my boobs my nose
Ooh I'm going to join SAG
Not just some dumb blueberry farm, I'm gonna be
Conway
Who says that lying's not an art
And when they google just a "K"
My name will come up before Kanye
Kellyanne Conway
[TAPPER, spoken] Now, Kellyanne, starting yesterday, you are now counselor to the president
[CONWAY, spoken] Mmm-hmm, yes, I am that
[TAPPER, spoken] You have the president's ear and a real opportunity to affect change in the White House
[CONWAY, spoken] Oh my god, Jake, you're right. Do you know what this means? Boys --
[SINGING RESUMES]
[MALE SINGERS] They're gonna wait outside in line to get to see
[McKinnon AND MALE SINGERS] Conway
[CONWAY] Think of those autographs I'll sign "Good luck to ya"
[MALE SINGERS] Conway
[CONWAY] And I'll appear in a sleeveless dress
On any show they'll let me do
[MALE SINGERS] Meet the Press, Anderson, Hannity, Fox and Friends
[CONWAY] And if they call, I'll do The Chew
[CONWAY, spoken] Ooh, I'm a star
And the audience loves me
And I love them and they love me for loving them
And I love them for loving me
And we love each other
Hey, know what's weird?
This time last year I supported Ted Cruz. I said Donald Trump acted unpresidential. It's on tape. But, hey, that's show biz, kid
[SINGING RESUMES]
[MALE SINGERS] She's giving up her hum-drum life
[CONWAY] I'm gonna be
[MALE SINGERS] Conway
[TAPPER AND MALE SINGERS] She treats the news just like a play
[CONWAY] And when the world goes up in flames
At least for now they'll know my name
Kellyanne Conway
Mmm-mm mm-mm-mm
Yeah
