Kate McKinnon Archives

So with that said, here's a rundown of the night's "dirty dozen" ranked from less-preferred to what had us laughing to the point where we were questioning the amount of sleep we'd been getting and blood sugar levels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12akdhW8OEsVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Nick Jonas: Spaceman (Live) – SNL (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12akdhW8OEs) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7p9TzfI6WGMVideo can't be loaded[...]

Here's a look at the index cards making it official: Image: SNL Saturday Night Live's 46th season includes Beck Bennett, Aidy Bryant, Michael Che, Pete Davidson, Mikey Day, Chloe Fineman, Heidi Gardner, Colin Jost, Kate McKinnon, Alex Moffat, Kyle Mooney, Ego Nwodim, Chris Redd, Cecily Strong, Kenan Thompson, Melissa Villaseñor, and Bowen Yang[...]

In the first of two sketches, Jonas is joined by SNL cast members Ego Nwodim and Bowen Yang– who make sure Jonas understands that this could be the break he's been waiting for, kid! Following that, Nwodim and Yang are surprised to learn that Jonas is also the musical guest because their newest single just[...]

Earlier this week, he even beat the show when it came to getting the first lead-in post out (impressively beating the intro video)- earning him bonus points with us because we like it when hosts and musical artists offer us looks at the show we wouldn't normally get.

When you're hosting and serving as the musical guest, we're guessing it's good to have that kind of energy in the tank. Image: Screencap Here's a look at Jonas's post from Monday, clearly enjoying the warm, cozy weather that comes with New York City in February:   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by NICK JONɅS (@nickjonas) And now[...]

From a bit of quick praise to Colin Jost for his Valentine's Day to his explaining why he needs to move out of his mom's house, it felt less like a segment and more like we were sitting in a diner booth with Davidson and Jost in the middle of a 3 am mental deep-dive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvB2Q4QEIA4Video[...]

Hmmm… In fact, here's a look at Bad Bunny on Instagram with the title:   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by @badbunnypr Now here's a look at SNL's posts from earlier today- which left us wondering (A) who will end up WWE 24/7 Champ during the show and (B) how many times will it change hands? If[...]

Now things are back on track because we also have a look at Page live for New York at SNL table reads.

With only three days to go until NBC's Saturday Night Live welcomes first-time host Regina King (Watchmen, One Night in Miami) and first-time musical guest Nathaniel Rateliff to Studio 8H (with the hosts and musical guests for the February 20 and 27 shows to be announced soon), we've gotten over our issues with the lack of a[...]

You're on notice- and that means at least three table read preview images. Image: Screencap For a look at what's essentially a mini-recap from Saturday's episode followed by a moment at the end with King and Rateliffe's names telling us that there's a new episode this week (are we coming across passive-aggressive, because that's what we were[...]

I was surprised and impressed by how far they went with the "tweets" (the "c" in "c-section" standing for "cancel" was just one example) and Day and Gardner sold it with just the right about of douchey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-aRGFmq300Video can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Weekend Update: Biden's Stimulus Plan – SNL (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-aRGFmq300) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_k1kcS3mMAVideo can't be loaded[...]

Following that, Levy wonders if Bridgers could write a song about him considering how they've gotten to know one another- but Bryant already has that covered.

On the plus side, "Weekend Update" can do no wrong, the "Twins" sketch was our favorite for taking a turn we didn't see coming (both below), "The Loser" went as absurd as I needed it to go, and MGK f***ing killed it. Opening Credits Songs – SNL 0-52 screenshot Another sketch that made our "Nice" list was[...]

And then there's the matter of disappointing Kelly, who lets Krasinksi and Gardner in on a little "family history" about his name: Saturday Night Live's 46th season includes Beck Bennett, Aidy Bryant, Michael Che, Pete Davidson, Mikey Day, Chloe Fineman, Heidi Gardner, Colin Jost, Kate McKinnon, Alex Moffat, Kyle Mooney, Ego Nwodim, Chris Redd, Cecily Strong,[...]

It's also a fact that Davidson doesn't hesitate to make everyone aware of (we swore he was going to take a dive down the stairs for one second) in the clip below:   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Saturday Night Live (@nbcsnl) Here's a look at the full, original sketch to use as a comparison: Saturday[...]

Maya Rudolph's Kamala Harris is too great of an impersonation to waste on the writing she's been getting the past few sketches. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6h1Tykx_vGkVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Kristen Wiig 2020 Holiday Monologue – SNL (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6h1Tykx_vGk) Wiig, Rudolph, and Kate McKinnon doing twisted takes on The Sound of Music?

Then it's time for a "Mimic Challenge," where the pair challenge each other to mimic the sounds of inanimate objects (ex: the squeeze of a ketchup bottle, the bounce of a ping pong ball): Fallon was also lucky enough to pull Dua Lipa away from rehearsals to help him perform a special version of "Christmas Is[...]

Now it's time for our personal favorite: the "live" promos- and when you're a comedic powerhouse like Wiig, you get three promos because that's how life should be. Saturday Night Live released new promos with Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Dua Lipa (Image: NBC screencap) In the first, SNL cast member Kate McKinnon, Wiig, and Lipa warn[...]

Here's a look at the clip, followed by the song that we're starting a mini-campaign over to make sure it gets performed live that night: Saturday Night Live's 46th season includes Beck Bennett, Aidy Bryant, Michael Che, Pete Davidson, Mikey Day, Chloe Fineman, Heidi Gardner, Colin Jost, Kate McKinnon, Alex Moffat, Kyle Mooney, Ego Nwodim, Chris[...]

Well, you couldn't ask for a better final host for 2020 than Kristen Wiig (Wonder Woman 1984)- do we really need to remind you of just how much of a performing powerhouse she was on the show from 2005-2012, and every appearance she made after that? Saturday Night Live ends the year with Kristen Wiig and[...]

Fauci and all Kate McKinnon Hit all the right notes, and will hopefully put to rest any interest Brad Pitt might have in ever portraying Fauci ever again.  Get out of my head, SNL! I've been joking about this very thing for a while: those damn holiday car commercials Bennett is the Dad who surprises his[...]
