A mom in her 70s and her grown daughter are on an extended road trip, during which they grab coffee from a truck vendor in New York City, tell “knock-knock” jokes on a park bench in Paris and look through old family photo albums in the Arkansas city where the mom got married and the daughter spent her early years before her father’s job necessitated a move to Washington, D.C. On this journey, their primary mission is to reconnect with old friends, and meet lots and lots of new friends. It’s obvious there’s a powerful, loving, enduring connection between this mother and daughter. It’s all very relatable.
Not that this is a typical mother-daughter combo. We’re talking about Hillary and Chelsea Clinton, and the house in Fayetteville, Arkansas, where Hillary got married has literally been turned into a museum, and Dad’s job in D.C. was president of the United States, and the friends they meet with in the Apple TV+ documentary series “Gutsy” include Gloria Steinem, Dr. Jane Goodall, Kim Kardashian, Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson, Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes, Amber Ruffin and Megan Thee Stallion — and yes, when Hillary Clinton meets Megan Thee Stallion, you can’t help but think this would make for a great “SNL” bit.
