The presumptive No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft was well-armed with jokes — and brought an autographed apron for the “Weekend Update” co-host.
Caitlin Clark had a moment with her Iowa teammates last week before arriving in New York for Monday night's WNBA draft — and a stop at “Saturday Night Live.” Caitlin Clark, who is expected to be the No. 1 pick by the Indiana Fever in Monday’s WNBA draft, deftly skewered “Weekend Update” co-host Michael Che in a “Saturday Night Live” appearance, and used the platform to offer a reminder of the many women’s basketball stars who came before her and into the league.
It wasn’t all yuks, though. A little less than 48 hours before she begins her pro career, Clark made sure to pay tribute to former WNBA stars, like “Sheryl Swoopes, Lisa Leslie, Cynthia Cooper, the great Dawn Staley and my basketball hero, Maya Moore. These are the women who kicked down the door so I could walk inside.”
