Who knew the group therapy we’ve needed since Hillary Clinton lost the US presidential election to Donald Trump would be found on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon?
On Wednesday’s episode HRC was the special guest, and the some of the show’s female staff did a special version of Fallon’s popular Thank You Notes segment.
Clinton sat in the guest’s chair as female staff came out one by one to sit at Jimmy’s desk, where they read out (and pretended to write) a thank-you note to Hillary.
Albertina Rizzo, one of the show’s writers, said:
“Thank you, Hillary Clinton, for standing up to critics who said a woman couldn’t be president, because they’d be too emotional, impulsive and unpredictable,” she said
“So glad we didn’t end up with someone like that.”
Writer and actress Jo Firestone told Hillary:
“Thank you, Hillary, for all the work you’ve done for public health care; ever since the election I’ve really depended on my government-subsidised anti-anxiety medication.”
As a final surprise, Miley Cyrus came out and read a note to Clinton, who she campaigned for throughout the election.
“Thank you, Hillary for being a constant beacon of strength, hope and determination for me and millions of other young women,” she said.
“You’ve been a role model and an inspiration and the voice of reason in uncertain times. I could go on and on, but I’d like to get right to the point. Can I give you a hug?”
After Miley and Hillary locked in an embrace, Clinton read her own thank-you note.
“Thank you, Miley, The Tonight Show writers and all of the women and young girls out there. You are smart, strong and deserving of every opportunity,” Clinton read.
“Together, we’ve made our voices heard, we’ve done great things and we’ve come a long way. But as Miley would say, we can’t stop and we won’t stop.”
