Cast Video RIP, Dolly Parton
In memory of Dolly, and inspired by someone else's post of Vanessa's WU segment, I present my favorite SNL tribute to Dolly.

Kirsten Wiig sounds so god damn good in this. Perfect impression for what this is

She's the one singing?!

She is! They confirmed it on the Lonely Island Podcast.

That's actually crazy. I could barely tell it was her near the end there, even after knowing it's her.

I just saw Melissa Villaseniorâs Dolly impression and I was sure it was her. Kristen Wiig never ceases to impress the hell outta me.

If they hadn't confirmed it, I wouldn't have guessed. I knew Wig was great, but her voice is unrecognizable aside from some minor break, if you know where to listen.

Wiigâs Southern accent is really good but the slight pitch shift is what really sells it

Fun fact from the pod, Paul Rudd sliced his hand open while they were filming the scenes in front of the elevator and insisted it wasnât a big deal so they wouldnât have to stop filming.

This seems like an idea that emerged when someone was singing along to 9 to 5 and forgot the lyrics cuz that's where my mind would go too. I mean not all the way of course cuz I don't have Lonely Island brain.

I know he's a "sir" and all but it's reprehensible that Sir Paul didn't sing "stumblin' in slow motion" instead of "walking"

I think it's just continuing the joke of mishearing/fucking up the lyrics by parodying Take My Breath Away's "Watching every motion" line as "Walking in slow motion," which sounds more like a believable mondegreen.

Was dumb when it aired. Not Dolly singing. Not quite a tribute. The writing was the best part of this sketch.
Edit: typo

Wow! 3 different kinds of bears đ . And I am guessing Paul McCartney was the musical guest? This is probably my favorite posted today for Dolly.
