A pair of First Ladies opened this week's episode of "Saturday Night Live" with a Mother's Day Message to America.

Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton had big plans for the holiday, but spent most of their time sniping at and trying to one-up each other. For SNL, this was a bold political step in taking dual digs at two of the most popular national figures among its core audience.

"Tomorrow, Barack and the kids will give me breakfast in bed and then we'll go for a family run," Obama says. "I'm going to put my Blackberry on airplane mode and watch the 'Good Wife' on airplane mode," responds Clinton [Vanessa Bayer], while working in hints about an upcoming presidential run.

When Obama [Sasheer Zamata] says she was honored to give the gift of health care to 8 million Americans, Clinton added she tried it 16 years ago. Then Obama trumped her with "but we delivered." That's subject to debate, as well.

Clinton continued her pitch for the White House and swapped a few not-so-veiled shots with the current First Lady. "I was going around the world," she says. "But I guess it's more difficult to get a fat kid to eat an apple."

The two eventually remained pals.

What's next for Clinton? "I'm meeting Barbara Boxer to work out at Curves."

Charlize Theron returned to host after a 14-year hiatus.

The last time Theron hosted SNL, Hillary was First Lady and the 2000 presidential election was still days away.

Theron is featured in Seth MacFarlane's summer movie "A Million Ways To Die In The West" and showed her comedy chops in "Arrested Development" and her hilarious Funny or Die video from 2012 which included "Game of Therons."
