Celebrating Kate McKinnon.
Pictures alone can't do her justice
but they are pretty amazing.

[MLAA]

1. She is so talented

Her Jeff sessions was perfect. Her Giuliani and Fauci priceless.

[Bongo Prophet]

43. Yes she is, but then we know dis.

[leftieNanner]

44. LOL

Doctor! That segment was priceless on Saturday.

[TexasBushwhacker]

69. She was cracking herself up too

But Weknowdis

[Bongo Prophet]

78. Yes, I call that the "Harvey Korman Effect"

As a kid, watching Harvey doing comedy skits with Carol Burnett, it didn't matter if the writing was great or so-so, the actors barely controlling their own commitment to character, and the tension created from this pulled the character into the scene, and made us participants, rather than just observers.

We know dis cause we saw dat.
It still works, just ask Bill Hader.

[milestogo]

74. Sometimes we don know dis

What a great character.

[flibbitygiblets]

77. ...

[PatSeg]

2. Oh yes, she is amazing

What an extraordinary talent.

[My Pet Orangutan]

3. With one look

Kate captures Hillary's debate.

[PatSeg]

4. She blows me away

For me, she is the true star of today's Saturday Night Live. I find that rather cool, being for years it was more of a man's world over there and women were often secondary supporting characters. It is so much more diverse than it used to be.

5. If there was an "SNL Mt. Rushmore" for cast members that did

an incredible range of spot-on impersonations, she would be on it along with the late Phil Hartman and Darrell Hammond.

[scarletlib]

16. I love Phil Hartman's Reagan impersonation.

[soldierant]

66. If she weren't with SNL (and so obviously on our side)

I would wonder whether she were actually an alien with a large wardrobe of skins to don.

[NCjack]

6. She is a one-woman riot!

[zentrum]

76. Yes! Born Funny!

[Budi]

7. Thanks for posting this tribute to an amazing talent

👍

[My Pet Orangutan]

10. It was Kate as Fauci

and I thought - I gotta do this.

[amuse bouche]

8. I love her. So damn talented

[LAS14]

9. Thanks! nt

[mountain grammy]

11. Her Hallelujah after the 2016 election

broke me. She is amazing.

[Thunderbeast]

15. Me too....

[bronxiteforever]

17. +100 Absolutely

[My Pet Orangutan]

27. She has just finished performing here - tears in her eyes.

[SharonAnn]

46. Me too. I still cry when I watch the video of that.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

47. The best!!!! She overacts with some characters

[leftieNanner]

48. I was going to post this

It was perfect. Broke my heart.

[Politicub]

53. Never will forget that moment.

[Martin Eden]

55. That was unforgettable

Perfect.
And sad.

[My Pet Orangutan]

58. Here

[Karadeniz]

61. Wonderful of you to post that...mind passing a tissue?

[catrose]

67. oh yes.

[ShazzieB]

73. That number broke a lot of us.

The shape I was in at the time, it didn't take much. But still.

[Solly Mack]

12. I adore her!

[niyad]

14. A true treasure!

[Escurumbele]

18. She is fantastic, such a joy to watch her do these impersonations

And fantastic as well in the movie "The Spy Who Dumped Me"...What an incredible talent...

I would have loved to see her with Robin Williams...I miss Robin Williams, and the buffoon is lucky Robin Williams, and George Carlin were not around.

Great photos, thank you.

[NurseJackie]

19. Is she okay?

[My Pet Orangutan]

20. Yes - I am just celebrating her work.

[NurseJackie]

21. Ah... okay.

I feared it was a memorial.

[My Pet Orangutan]

22. I'll edit.

[NurseJackie]

23. No need. It was just how my brain is wired, I guess.

[My Pet Orangutan]

24. To late ! :)

The first line is now
Celebrating Kate McKinnon

[NurseJackie]

29. Four years of bad-news-ptsd has taken a toll...

... I'm always expecting the worst (especially after we've lost so many celebs in recent months).

It's a great thread! She's very talented! I like her a lot.

[KS Toronado]

25. Who was she impersonating between Rudy and Forrest?

I must have missed that episode.

[My Pet Orangutan]

26. Lindsey Graham.

Her personalization has become darker over time.

[KS Toronado]

32. Thanks, I was thinking possibly Barr

Kate and Kenan Thompson are my two favorite actors on SNL

[smirkymonkey]

63. Yes! I love them both as well!

Especially when they do the Sheila Sauvage skit in the bar (forgot the name of the bar), where Kate is always there for last call and trying to pick up the random guy (or gal) who is still there, while Keenan is trying desperately to get rid of both of them.

Cecily Strong is hilarious as well.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

49. Yes. And not as funny or too much overacting? IMHO :)

[My Pet Orangutan]

50. There's nothing funny about Lindsey these days,

although the Lincoln Project might disagree

[Louis1895]

28. I thought Forrest Gump was...

...Jeff Sessions!

Was that off by a mile or are they similar?

[My Pet Orangutan]

33. It was Jeff Sessions as Forest Gump !

The Box of Chocolates ... he never knew he was the one getting sacked

[Pacifist Patriot]

30. Love her! Photo with Elizabeth Warren is a classic!

[nolabear]

35. Her Fauci was wonderful, as is everything she does.

I honestly don’t know of many people who can both lampoon so many others and create he own insanely funny characters. Her woman kidnapped by aliens (who nearly destroyed Ryan Reynolds’ composure) is fabulous. Her Kellyanne is brilliant. And she’ll always be Hillary to me.

[My Pet Orangutan]

37. An extraordinary Hillary - tears in her eyes (and mine)

[nolabear]

41. That was history. God, I sobbed.

What could have been...

[BobTheSubgenius]

36. "Extraordinary" is a great adjective to describe her.

She sings, she does sketch comedy, she plays the piano, and her impressions might be the strongest part of her broad and deep list of talents.

The only one I can think of (although there may well be some I'm forgetting at this early hour) that was at her level of "all round talent" on SNL is Dan Aykroyd. We all remember the amazing skit that took on a life of its own as The Blues Brothers, and Eric Idle once said that, of all the comic actors they met in this side of the Atlantic, he was the one that could have been a Python. High praise.

She is a giant among giants.

[Hekate]

38. Kate McKinnon is a marvel. Thanks for this gallery

[Hassin Bin Sober]

39. She's amazing. Just scrolling through these pictures has me giggling.

[Blue_playwright]

40. I love her!

She was the best part of the Chick Ghostbusters, too!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

42. Love her to pieces! ❤️

[usaf-vet]

45. Hopefully she is paid well and gets the recognition she deserves from the entertainment community.

After all, SNL has half of the current newsmakers on staff because of her talents.

[Fiendish Thingy]

51. I think she is leaving the show soon, this Saturday may be her last show.

I’ve read her contract is ending this year.

With the right group of writers, She could be the next Carol Burnett.

Although she steals every scene she is in, most of the theatrical films I’ve seen her in have been subpar.

[nolabear]

60. Oh I hope she gets her own show. Though I've seen her in interviews

and she’s been thoughtful and smart. Not as over the top as most people who have shows. She’d be amazing in skits with the right writers though.

[liberalla]

52. Extraordinary, indeed!

[cayugafalls]

54. Kate is fast becoming a legendary comedian.

imnsho, she is already a legendary comedian.

[OMGWTF]

56. Kate McKinnon is a national treasure!

[onlyadream]

57. Amazing!

I wonder how much study she puts into her imitations.

[nolabear]

59. K&R because she deserves ALL the love.

[The Wizard]

62. She's brilliant

a tour de force. Her comedic chops are spot on. Jeff Sessions with a tail has me on the floor.

[smirkymonkey]

64. I also love it when she plays Kellyanne.

One of my favorite skits...

"A Conway Marriage Story"

[Gothmog]

65. This actor is truly amazing

[TexasBushwhacker]

68. I never saw her as Justin Bieber before

I think she has the same amount of crotch stuffing.

[Gothmog]

70. I still tear up when I watch this

[My Pet Orangutan]

71. So did Kate - performing it

[Lucinda]

72. ❤️✿❧🌿❧✿❤️

[electric_blue68]

75. The pictures bring back the memories of...

these great performances!

For me because of what happened her Hillary will always edge out the others.

Remember her calling on a Trump Elector with all the informational and pleading signs - all without a sound except for the fake Xmas Carolers to fool the Elector's husband?

Bwaaahaahahaaaaaaa!


And of course "Hallelujah".



A comedy show for her sounds great!

[Upthevibe]

79. Without question she's in the top five of the best...

Not Ready For Prime Time Players (if they're still called that)ever. I've watched SNL since day one (although not every show and sometimes only a few episodes per season). It'll be interesting to see what her next move is when she decides to leave SNL...
This is one of my favorite skits of hers:

&t=236s

And OMG - Ryan Gosling!

[samplegirl]

80. I watched her today on Comedians in cars going for

Coffee with Seinfeld. She is just incredibly down to earth and who couldn’t love her?

[betsuni]

81. I'm in awe of her talent.
