Saturday Night Live has become the best place for politicians to show they still have a sense of humor despite being serious all the time, and Hillary Clinton proved Saturday that she has an amazing Donald Trump impression in her back pocket.

It's nice to see presidential hopefuls take a load off on the NBC hit comedy show, but Hillary's own daughter, Chelsea Clinton, loved it more than anyone because she already knew that side of her politico mom!

"I think it's great because I think my mom's really funny, and I'm grateful that America is seeing more of that," she tells Ellen DeGeneres while appearing on her show for the very first time Thursday.

"I won the mom jackpot."

The former First Daughter also gushes about her mom potentially becoming the next president and explains that once she became a mom herself to daughter Charlotte Mezvinsky it made her admire the former Secretary of State even more. 

"I didn't know that I could love and admire and respect my mom anymore until I became a mom and couldn't believe any more in her as the right leader for the country I want my daughter to grow up in," Chelsea says, "but I do because she has been working to ensure that every woman should get the chance to grow up to be you or to grow up and be the next Hillary Clinton."

Because former President Bill Clinton is her dad and Hillary could become the next leader of the U.S., it's hard not to wonder whether Chelsea will put her foot in the political ring.

"Well I don't know. The first time that someone asked me whether I would have a political career I think I was about three," Chelsea explains. "And my dad was running for Governor of Arkansas, he was running for re-election...and this woman came up to me and said, 'Ya know Chelsea do you want to be the Governor of Arkansas some day?' And I think I said, 'Ma'am I'm three.'"

Way to keep it in perspective!

"So now that I'm at a different point in my life I do believe there are many ways to serve," she continues. "I'm really lucky to live in a city and a state and a country where I support the people representing me. I have a couple fantastic senators and I have a great representative in New York City. If at some point that weren't true I'd have to ask and answer that question, but Ellen I'd hope you'd ask and answer that question too."
