SNL honors Obama with emotional musical tribute

“Saturday Night Live” honored former President Barack Obama’s legacy with a musical tribute during its first show after President Trump’s inauguration.

SNL cast members sang Sidney Poitier’s “To Sir, With Love” with a large portrait of Obama behind them.

The SNL cast members also presented a “World’s Greatest President” mug for Obama at the end of their performance.

The move to honor Obama with a song echoes the show’s decision to have a cast member portraying Hillary Clinton sing an emotional “Hallelujah” just after the Democratic nominee’s surprise defeat to Trump in the 2016 election in November.
