Former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Julia Sweeney revealed Wednesday that Hillary Clinton once sent a letter to the producer of the show expressing disapproval over the portrayal of her teenage daughter, Chelsea.
Sweeney, 63, made the startling revelation on the “Fly on the Wall” podcast after co-host David Spade, 59, recalled the 1993 skit where the actress portrayed the former First Daughter and how it “rubbed somebody wrong.”
“Yeah, Hillary,” responded Sweeney, adding that the former presidential candidate complained about the skit.
The contents of Clinton’s letter were not shared on the podcast.
Julia Sweeney played a teenage Chelsea Clinton, with Phil Hartman and Jan Hooks portraying her parents in a controversial 1993 “Saturday Night Live” skit.
The scene, entitled “Inaugural Ball,” aired shortly after Bill Clinton’s election as US president.
Joining Sweeney in the sketch were Phil Hartman and Jan Hooks playing the then-president and First Lady respectively.
The skit is not available on the show’s YouTube page.
Following the terse letter, Sweeney never portrayed Chelsea again.

That’s why they never made fun of Obama.
the beast prolly dint like how SHE was portrayed, so she used chelsea as an excuse...
This has always been my favorite skit of SNL. Jan Hooks and Phil Hartman were the best. And, OMG, Julia Sweeney as Chelsea is genius.
People have had fatal “accidents” for less. A disapproving note from Hillary Clinton is nothing to sneeze at. If one likes to continue to celebrate birthdays. This is one evil bitch.
Excellent point.
They mean Chelsea Hubble, right?
That’s the one where Madonna is singing happy birthday as Marilyn Monroe and Bill Clinton thinks she’s flirting with him but Madonna is actually flirting with Chelsea.
Did the producer commit suicide shortly after receiving the note?
Countless points prove the Clinton couple have committed so many crimes and have and continue to severely hurt our country. This isnt one of them. A mother complaining to a television show for making fun of her teenage daughter is the right thing to do. SNL was Way out of bounds. Cyberbullying doesnt come close. Dont make dun of peoples underage children.
I’m surprised she didn’t wake up with a horses head in her bed.
Why does the media keep calling her Chelsea Clinton?.
I can’t produce a kid
Bill Clinton
Everything they did together was outstanding. But this is the one that I personally found so memorable; and now that I'm old and they have both tragically died young, it is really touching:

OMG, I completely forgot about this! Thank you so much for posting it. Love, love, love it.
