??Saturday Night Live? has relentlessly mocked Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and this weekend allowed Senator Barack Obama, a chief rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, to join in the skewering.

The comedy show portrayed Mrs. Clinton dressed as a bride at a Halloween party, while the actors playing Bill Clinton and some of the other Democratic candidates called her a witch. All the candidates were lampooned except Mr. Obama, extending what some rival campaigns privately complain is a glut of positive news coverage.

The Obama campaign said yesterday that they were allowed to ??tweak? the script, but the extent of such tweaks was not clear. A spokesman for the show said Mr. Obama ??had as much input as any guest or host would have on the material but it was written by us, not them.? The spokesman said Mr. Obama had declined to do a prepared sketch about the fact that he and Vice President Dick Cheney are cousins.

The show??s host was Brian Williams, the anchor of the ??NBC Nightly News,? and there was considerable preshow discussion about whether his appearance would compromise his journalistic integrity. But the postshow coverage has centered on Mr. Obama, whose appearance was a surprise and drew enormous applause from the studio audience.

In the opening skit, Bill and Hillary Clinton, played by Darrell Hammond and Amy Poehler, were holding a Halloween party (and bickered constantly, with ??Mrs. Clinton? laughing at inappropriate moments). As Mr. Clinton, Mr. Hammond was dressed up as Mystery, from the VH1 reality show ??The Pickup Artist.? As Mrs. Clinton, Ms. Poehler wore a white bridal gown, but other characters called it a witch??s outfit.
