For some famous faces, being lampooned on America's favorite late-night sketch comedy series, "Saturday Night Live," is the ultimate honor. Oprah Winfrey, for example, invited Maya Rudolph onto her chat show in an episode titled "America's Funniest People" after seeing the iconic "Oprah's Favorite Things: Birthday Edition" skit.
Hillary Clinton was so enamored with Kate McKinnon's portrayal of her that she appeared on the show alongside her occasional doppelganger. And although Barbara Walters was initially disgruntled over Gilda Radner's gentle mocking, she eventually acknowledged that the impression helped immortalize her.
But not every celebrity is as pleased to be parodied in front of millions of viewers. From Hollywood muscle men and daytime talk show veterans to reality TV regulars and, perhaps inevitably, various members of the Trump administration, here's a look at 14 rather thin-skinned stars who obviously don't subscribe to the theory that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
