Right? And Kate cries so easily, that I'm sure she was fighting the tears the moment she walked out onto the stage. Deeply kind and loving human, she is.
There are a good number of SNL Christmas episodes hosted by former cast members (or frequent hosts who have the energy of cast members): Eddie Murphy, Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Chevy Chase (later downgraded to just Steve Martin and Martin Short), even that Paul Rudd episode that was shut down due to Omicron variant COVID counts. I'm sure there's more than that.
One of the all-time SNL Greats! Her ability to wring laughs and pathos out of even the most random characters is such a delight. So happy to see her back on the stage. 😊
That moment when Maya, Kate, and Kristin linked arms brought me to tears! They’re just about my all time favorite ladies of SNL…and I say this as a huge Gilda Radner fan.
What a trio! Maya, Kristen, and Kate! Wow. I remember fondly Kristen’s exit from the show. 2012, was it? She danced with Mick Jagger… man, now I’m tearing up just thinking about it.
3 of the most hilarious women ever to be on TV, and Kate McKinnon was the best of all on SNL in my eyes, because she could ALWAYS make you laugh. Kate is a real natural comedian.
@@griznatle Nope. Just that Lorne knows how to run his show, and Kate made a big thing about leaving, then came right back. SNL is tanking, so why not call back "the ringers"?
Naturally, I went to Kate's wikipedia page, impressed - loved the list of Saturday Night Live impressions, the best in this category in my opinion. Congrats on everything!
That was a great show, Kate & "the gang." Billie! And seeing Greta. Having Maya and Kristen with her during the monologue was a Christmas gift! Hope the whole gang has a GREAT night/morning at the infamous annual SNL Christmas Party. SO many funny people there.... Thanks Kate! WE MISS YOU! Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year to ALL. 🎄
When Maya and Kristen joined Kate I teared up a little for some reason. Three of the best female comedians to ever grace SNL and it's so great to see them together supporting each other.
I always love watching the band members during monologues. Fun to see when they laugh. Lenny and some of the others have been there forever so they've seen everything, but people like Kate still manage to make 'em laugh. Maddie (on guitar) is usually pretty reserved during monologues, but the ren faire dress joke got her.
I'm starting to wonder if Maya Rudolph is required to show up in Christmas episodes, because she seems to show up every December more reliably than Santa.
Love Kate! She's gone all out for women everywhere, irregardless of sexual orientation. I applaud her artistry, and what it's done and continues to do to elevate recognition for female's contributions to the entertainment industry. I hope I'm fortunate enough to have her still entertaining me and my daughter for many years to come. You Go Girl!!👊✌️👍
I love her genuine facial expression!! She seems to get emotional at first🥺 I also teared up as soon as I see 3 of them❤❤ +And I think it’s really true that Kate, Kristen, Maya lives close to NBC😂😂
Kate McKinnon is my absolute all time favorite SNL artist EVER!!! Even though there are MANY SNL comedians I really like! She has got that level of talent that is just rarely found….. FUNNY is in her DNA!
Love the support she gets. The whole persona thing can be dropped. She is naturally comedic and I find her to be more funny as "herself". My perspective has changed. Now i see a true clown in the most complementary way i can say that. After seeing Barbie I hope i continue to see her in movies. Good, rather substantial comedies are not easy to pull off. What a great idea to bring old hosts to keep the comedic flow strong.
Kate really has to be the best female cast member. I'm 50 and seen most of them all. I stand by this. I just adore her and her wonky silly humor style. Physical comedy at it's best. I love her!!
I just finished listening to Leslie Jone's audio book. Leslie Jones talked about her time a SNL and praised Kate, Maya, Kristen, and Cecily. I was really hoping Leslie and Cecily would make an appearance. Tonight's show was fire despite them not being there. Kate is the shit!
Kate McKinnon's first sketch was the Pantene commercial with Sofia Vergara and she was strong right out of the gate. She's fantastic.
Ree-freege-er-ayy-torrr!
Wow I had no idea that was her first one, she's been hilarious since day 1
Ammonium Laureth Sulfate
That was the first ever snl sketch I’ve ever seen lmao!
💯 Great sketch!
The emotion on Kate’s face is so raw and genuine it brought tears to my eyes ❤️
same
❤
I really thought she was gonna cry when they all started singing together ❤️
Same 🥺💖
Right? And Kate cries so easily, that I'm sure she was fighting the tears the moment she walked out onto the stage. Deeply kind and loving human, she is.
Kate McKinnon, Maya Rudolph, & Kristen Wiig are amazing!🙌🙌🙌
Love em all!
Yea mean Kate, Beyonce and Taylor Swift
Heck yeah 👍🤗
Bridesmaids sequel with Kate in it please!
agreed
Old cast members hosting during December for the holidays needs to become a tradition.
There are a good number of SNL Christmas episodes hosted by former cast members (or frequent hosts who have the energy of cast members): Eddie Murphy, Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Chevy Chase (later downgraded to just Steve Martin and Martin Short), even that Paul Rudd episode that was shut down due to Omicron variant COVID counts. I'm sure there's more than that.
Loved the song and lyrics…very fitting for the holiday! Happy Christmas Kate!
You can tell how much this means to Kate when she leans on Kristen at the end. Almost brought a tear to my eye ❤
Almost?
Definitely brought tears to mine.
Same I'm balling 😭😭 because I can tell she was choking up and holding it back! ❤ We love these girls soo much 💗
She was trying to find out if Kristen's boobies were still as soft as she remembered. I'd do the same.
Tf are you talking about? It was planned. It was rehearsed. Her reaction isn’t genuine.
One of the all-time SNL Greats! Her ability to wring laughs and pathos out of even the most random characters is such a delight. So happy to see her back on the stage. 😊
Kate, Maya, and Kristen are three of my favorite all time SNL cast members. Grew up watching them so it’s always nice to see them
me too. absolutely golden
Mine, too!:) ❤🥂❤
Spoiler alert!
Where's Sherry O'teri?
3 reminders of a golden age!
Great to see her host. Her presence on the show has been missed.
She really is one of the few SNL comedians that is keeping the show from sinking into the mud.
What are you talking about! There are great new cast members. She is awesome.
@@QbnAmCan I stand by what I said.
@@shahartleyDoesn't make it right. They have wonderful hardworking casts, not taking anything away from Kate.
@@shahartley Sorry I was replying to the comment about few SNL cast keeping SNL from sinking. I totally agree with you.
That moment when Maya, Kate, and Kristin linked arms brought me to tears! They’re just about my all time favorite ladies of SNL…and I say this as a huge Gilda Radner fan.
I just watched that part and started tearing up!! 😭😭😭
Man, no one can make me bust up laughing the most than Kate McKinnon. I’m super excited that she’s hosting tonight! She’s definitely gonna kill it! 😁
She killed it. She killed my desire to watch.
She’s such a thespian!
@@Qrayonthat’s fine, not everything is for you.
@@maddiek1980 You can't please everybody, eh?
🙌🙌🙌
I cried with joy when I saw Kristen and Maya walk out, 3 of my 5 favorite SNL female comedians, along with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
Kate McKinnon was an MVP when a cast member and continued to excel. Maya Rudolf and Kristen Wiig were a perfect bonus
Almost made me cry 🙂
@@glitterspray agree, the nostalgia was beautiful 😍
Awwwww...... I missed these ladies so much.
The comedic trinity Kate, Maya and Kristen.
You guys were really some of the greatest casts
I've missed Kate so much. And Kristen. And Maya. SNL has launched so much talent.
Man I’m so happy to see her up there doing her thing. I always hoped we’d see her host some day 🙏🏼🙏🏼
The cold open when Kate McKinnon played the piano and sang Hallelujah back in 2016 is still one of the best things I’ve ever seen on SNL!
These three ladies are among my favorite performers on SNL. Great to see them all on stage together :)
Such a wholesome way to end this season. Kate McKinnon isfantastic. Loved every bit of this. Happy Holidays for everyone! ❤🎄✨
The SNL season isn't ending...the year is tho.
I love it how Kate McKinnon makes everyone break character and laugh, and here she is trying not to break character and cry.
Wait, why am I emotional watching these three come back together 🥹
Cuz you love em 🤗🤗🤗
Actually, Maya Rudolph ended her tenure before Kate McKinnon started. Wiig was with McKinnon only on Season 37.
I feel the same way
I just want to give Kate a hug, she looks so uncomfortable being in the solo spotlight but she does such a phenomenal job in all her roles.
Kate McKinnon ❤ to see her again, she is definitely missed on SNL!
What a trio! Maya, Kristen, and Kate! Wow. I remember fondly Kristen’s exit from the show. 2012, was it? She danced with Mick Jagger… man, now I’m tearing up just thinking about it.
The best of the best 🤗
Kate, Maya, and Kristen singing at the end, holding hands, leaning into each other.. my heart. So beautiful 💖
My all-time favorite sketch of Kate's was her merging Pennywise from "IT" with Kellyanne Conway!
I'm a sucker for when she did Kellyanne FATAL ATTRACTION.
I'm going to have to look that up 😂
Kate is an amazing comedian. 😂
Not often I tear up during the monolog, well done ladies ❤
Oh man, best monologue of the year. Gold. The prom bit 💀😂. And her singing message. Then Kristin wiig too!
Oops, Kristen. I hate when spell check corrects me when I'm occasionally right
3 of the most hilarious women ever to be on TV, and Kate McKinnon was the best of all on SNL in my eyes, because she could ALWAYS make you laugh. Kate is a real natural comedian.
the way Kate looks at Kristen when she walks up. you can tell they really are truly dear dear friends. Love these 3.
All-time legends.
🙌🙌🙌🙌
I LOVE KATE MCKINNON!! SHE IS SUCH AN ICON!!
Kate McKilledit! She’s definitely an SNL hall-of-famer
Nope.
@@fernandoborgia3947someone's mad and incel
@@griznatle Nope. Just that Lorne knows how to run his show, and Kate made a big thing about leaving, then came right back. SNL is tanking, so why not call back "the ringers"?
@@fernandoborgia3947 ok champ.
@@fernandoborgia3947so....not 'nope' to what the OP said. Gotcha. You were just 'noping'.
Can we get another Bridesmaids like movie with these 3?!?
Really miss having Kate on as a regular. In my view, the most talented SNL cast member in a long time.
No, she was burnt out, you could see it, so many bad political sketches with lousy impressions, this is better for her
Wow it's amazing how you just never know whether Kate is performing or just being herself.
This is very smart and funny! Glad Kates back for the Christmas show!
Naturally, I went to Kate's wikipedia page, impressed - loved the list of Saturday Night Live impressions, the best in this category in my opinion. Congrats on everything!
Ugh I absolutely love Kate shes one of the reasons I kept watching as a kid 🥲 wow thank u directors for bringing the Christmas spirit 💖
That was a great show, Kate & "the gang." Billie! And seeing Greta. Having Maya and Kristen with her during the monologue was a Christmas gift!
Hope the whole gang has a GREAT night/morning at the infamous annual SNL Christmas Party. SO many funny people there....
Thanks Kate! WE MISS YOU! Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year to ALL. 🎄
When Maya and Kristen joined Kate I teared up a little for some reason. Three of the best female comedians to ever grace SNL and it's so great to see them together supporting each other.
Yay!!? kate McKinnon is one of my faves on SNL. Many many faces and even more laughs
Her sense of humor is everything.😊.
Kate, Maya and Kristen are the holy trinity of comedy ❤
Iwill always adore Kate McKinnon
I always love watching the band members during monologues. Fun to see when they laugh. Lenny and some of the others have been there forever so they've seen everything, but people like Kate still manage to make 'em laugh.

Three queens on one stage, my heart is full!
I miss Kate on SNL. It's good to see her back.
some people have to move on in life.
HALLO!
She is one of the top funniest, talented ladies of SNL ever.
Kate is my favorite! I’ve been loving all the interviews she’s doing and I can’t wait to watch the show!
God I love her. Such a beautiful soul.
Love this woman,she's pure talent.
I love her so much❤
Three of my favorites! All so talented and I'm proud they went on to have successful careers. They look absolutely stunning!
I'm starting to wonder if Maya Rudolph is required to show up in Christmas episodes, because she seems to show up every December more reliably than Santa.
I love this Mcmonologue, and love you Kate.
Love Kate! She's gone all out for women everywhere, irregardless of sexual orientation.

I hope I'm fortunate enough to have her still entertaining me and my daughter for many years to come. You Go Girl!!👊✌️👍
Queen mother has returned!!
Kristen and Maya are great of course. But I think it would have been cooler if Cecily and Aidy came out and joined Kate.
Miss them too.
Too soon 😢
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
She’s trying to hide tearing up and I’m crying with happiness watching, can’t help it
I love how they support each other. 😊
I didnt expect this day would come 😢, thank you snl, i missed her so much

She has got that level of talent that is just rarely found….. FUNNY is in her DNA!
Our queen has returned
Amazing to see Kate host! This made my Saturday night!🎉
Love Kate! 😂❤

Kate can host every week! Miss your talent!
Maya Rudolph is truly perfection and seeing her made my whole night.
I’m so, so happy with this! I literally was just saying a few weeks ago that Kate should come back and host! I love her so much.
