That was incredibly beautiful & so perfectly sums up my own feelings about the work Kate does. Thank you for sharing this, retired old academic dyke, I sincerely hope you never shut upStrangearchon wrote: ↑20 Feb 2021, 01:17Kate is playing characters. Sometimes the character she plays is called Kate McKinnon. But the character and the actor are not identical. Portraying someone having a meltdown doesn't mean one is actually having one. In fact, if she were really falling a apart,she probably couldn't do what she does.
Kate once said: "Comedy is a tool of togetherness It's a way of putting your arm around someone, pointing at something and saying, 'Isn't it funny that we do that'? It's a way of reaching out."
She's funny but I take her words here very seriously. By enacting the depression and distress or despair many of us feel, she is reaching out, bringing us together, making us feel less alone. I'm sure the pandemic is getting to her since it's getting to all of us. But her way of dealing, this reaching out through her enactments that include distress in with the humor is incredibly valuable. I can't speak for anyone else, but what she does with her characters makes me feel like a human being connected with other human beings more than anything else that currently fills my locked down life. It's more than an escape from a miserable reality. It's a kind of transcendence. And I will never stop being grateful for that.
Retired old academic dyke will shut up now.

Re: Kate Mckinnon
Re: Kate Mckinnon
Call me selfish but seeing other cast members all over social media, on the late night shows & doing print interviews makes me miss Kate
Re: Kate Mckinnon
Seeing the cosmopolitan photo shoot Eggo, Melissa and Heidi did makes me remember when Kate,Aidy and Cecily were the new hot girls of the show...now especially Kate is more in the background than ever before. We should soak up the last few shows of the month considering she’ll be going away to film her project... there’s a good chance we won’t see her again till gasp... possibly September? Unless news of any other projects or her and Alison comes out in the press before then.Guest wrote: ↑28 Feb 2021, 02:58Call me selfish but seeing other cast members all over social media, on the late night shows & doing print interviews makes me miss Kate
Re: Kate Mckinnon
Ego, Melissa, Heidi look so good in that photoshoot!
Lots of Kate this episode. Almost an alarming amount for me at first. Definitely gonna miss her while she's away filming.

Re: Kate Mckinnon
I think we're getting this much to tide us over while she's gone tbh. Next ep is Mar 27th so I'm assuming she'll be away then but I thought the same in Jan so who knows lol.
She's had a great night tonight. Shannon killed me

Re: Kate Mckinnon
It looks like a “ live from New York it’s Saturday night” cue card? Oh god I hope this wasn’t her last show everGuest wrote: ↑28 Feb 2021, 06:35What was she holding during the good nights?
Re: Kate Mckinnon
Kate holding the cue card thingy was unusual, right? Perhaps it said "Will this big beautiful bitch of a city ever be what it once was?" because why not take home that line?
I enjoyed the episode. A little OT but them calling Kyle "Cuck" with "the guy from Soul" a million times in Viking Voyager has me dying. And the date sketch was so absurd but I like it. The humor and vibe from it feels familiar to me but I'm not sure what from? Maybe something like the movie Four Rooms.

Re: Kate Mckinnon
Murder Show is a bop, and murder shows have truly become a normal part of everyday life.
Kate doing poses at :30. Someone should slow that down and turn it into a magnificent gif.
Re: Kate Mckinnon
And I don't know where or who else to say this to but... Punkie's butch energy is very attractive.
Re: Kate Mckinnon
It said “congratulations Eric Eisner on 41 years at snl”
There is a picture of her holding it up on heidis insta story.
Re: Kate Mckinnon
I guess people here aren't the only ones concerned about Kate.
Re: Kate Mckinnon
In fairness, that's a tweet from one person without any likes lol I think Dr. Wenodis' appearances probably resonated with audiences more than it concerned them. But any fan of Kate would naturally care about her.
Gosh no Kate content for who knows how many weeks!

Re: Kate Mckinnon
Kate is cool in it, but OMG the main character is a moron. It gets to near the end and I turned it off cos he’s a dumbass. Nobody is that apologetic when you have no fucking reason to be.Guest wrote: ↑02 Mar 2021, 04:31Actually I haven't seen Yesterday. But that's a 20 dollar rental...

I think if Punkie ever played a butch character alongside Kate, my brain wouldn't know how to compute the two attractions!

Re: Kate Mckinnon
So I saw this when searching "Joe Exotic filming" on a Google News search. It's a few results down. https://www.google.com/search?
q=joe+ex ... 40&bih=853
This was as much of the quote as I could see. The article itself is behind a paywall. I believe major news subscriptions often require call-in to cancel ? which sounds like a pain so I don't want to start a trial to view it.
"Amazon series The Wilds to film in Queensland" - The Queensland Times
"...Monaghan is currently filming on the Gold Coast while Thirteen Lives is due to begin next month, as is NBC series Joe Exotic in Brisbane."
"Joe Exotic" search results on QT.com.au will bring up the same article/title, I believe, which was published "26th Feb. 2021 4:02 PM." https://www.qt.com.au/search/?keywords=joe+exotic
Sooo it looks like Joe Exotic begins filming this month, therefore Kate will be away in Australia?

Re: Kate Mckinnon
Guys I think Kate’s engagement ring is something between her and her mom. Check Emily’s Instagram, she has an engagement ring on and commented that she is engaged to her mom

It’s also funny to me how whenever a woman wears a band on their left finger is automatically assumed they are engaged. I’m not talking about kate in this instance, but Emily, who is pretty active and open on her social media. She would have most likely announced her and her bf being engaged. Stop being gross.

OP : I don’t have Instagram so no it wasn’t me, what’s wrong with being happy for people? You sound bitter lolGuest wrote: ↑10 Mar 2021, 01:50I hope you aren’t the same person that just commented that on Emily’s post. Yikes.

Re: Kate Mckinnon
I don't know how long Kate is going to be on SNL. But before she leaves, I hope there's gonna be another Close Encounter sketch. Those are my favorite and I think it's one of Kate's greatest characters.
Re: Kate Mckinnon
So according to nothingbutmckinnon's insta story, an article on the Carole Baskin show states production doesn't start until June so looks like she may be on SNL for pretty much the rest of the season.
Guess that confirms that she picked this over the The Dropout too since that's due to film this summer also.

I just finished watching Intramural. Way too much testosterone for my liking! but I'll watch anything for Kate.

Thank you universe for the content gift this morning.
Tostito's Habanero salsa is already my favorite salsa, and I've been eating salsa flavored chips for the past month so this is speaking straight to me!!!
Kate and Dan NEED A SHOW TOGETHER PRONTO.
