Video: Ellen DeGeneres Meets Her 'SNL' Impersonator

Listen, it's really, really hard to dislike Ellen DeGeneres. Disliking Ellen DeGeneres pretty much makes you the worst person around. There's nothing to dislike. She's perfect.
Perfect.
But that doesn't mean that she can't still be poked fun at (all in good fun!), and poked fun at she is, by "Saturday Night Live" actress Kate McKinnon. Of course, that means that when McKinnon went on Ellen's show recently, she was asked to bust out her impression.
And that's when shit got weird.
That's when we got to watch Ellen dancing with Ellen, Ellen interviewing Ellen, and then, in what must have been daytime talk show history, Ellen hugging Ellen.
