I agree!
she kills
@@teresaburton1043 u
I agree also she was the bomb & Christine Wigg also I love her RG is so outrageous it really reflects what a joke he's become.
I actually have never been into snl much... Just happened to never see it on t.v.... but yet i love and know everyone who has been on it and written for it. I just love her from the roles she has played in movies... So seeing this... Made me love her even more!!!!
This would be great if the voice over wasn't constantly explaining these skits that don't require explanation.
I was thinking the same thing... Like stop talking so we can watch more of the skit that you're spotlighting!
i had to stop watching it 2 minutes in because MsMojo's narrative and voice was driving me to stick an ice-pick in my ear.
My question is, how can she (the narrator) breathe, with her head so far up Kate's butt? I'm all about Kate, but this is just too sycophantic (And yes, I had to spell check that...)...
How correct you are ! just seems like a hurry to empty the coin dispensary these days ! 🤔
Just stop narrating. Sounds so dumb
Who else agrees Kate is one of the best SNL cast members ever?
I totally agree she is and Kean Thompson is for the guys
Me too!!!!!
Not one of. THE
Her&Kristen are my favourite. I love more members.. but these two are the best❤️
Absolutely, She is still in the intro SNL for this season, but I haven't seen her in any sketches so far
Please stop with the narration. We want to see these great performances, not hear you gush about them.
Artists are the balm of this troubled world. Thank you Ms McKinnon! I consider you a genius actor who helps so many.
You somehow left out the sketch where Kate plays Hillary and the real Hillary Clinton plays a bartender. Priceless!
Was that on Kates's birthday?
You did t watch the entire video then
I didn’t remember seeing it.
I didn’t see that one either.
That was my first thought. I mean how can you say that's her number 1 character and leave out the time when Hillary was actually on the show?!?! 🤔
The Alien Abduction sketches are by far my favorite
I laugh at those so hard I can't breathe. Tears stream down my face when she describes her abductions.
I watch those at least once a week. I love the first 1 when everyone broke character. Had me rolling. When she said one of the aliens made a noise and started slapping the wall I was fucking dieing.
Until this week, I’d only seen the last one she did, on the night of her last SNL episode. I watched all of the others recently and needed my rescue inhaler!
It doesn't get better than Kate McKinnon. Miss her so much on SNL. She was the main reason I watched.
Your over explaining totally distracts from the great Kate’s performances.
Kate McKinnon & Kenan Thompson - the 2 best current SNL cast members
Yeah that Kenan is something else! 18 years with SNL and counting. He's the most well rounded SNL cast member I've even seen. He can act, sing, and be funny. I do remember his early SNL days not being his best as he slowly worked his way from just being the funny fat black guy. It took him a while to find his breakout moment.
Keenan is not funny at all, he plays the same character in every skit
@@cirilloz He's entertaining. And yes, their is a difference between being funny and being entertaining.
Kate is one of the best comedians ever on SNL. She’s in a class by herself with her characterizations of famous people. This woman can play a beauty or a balding 80 year old man with equal authority. She’s a chameleon! 💕
She gets the mannerisms of people so dang well. It's unbelievable.
A Kate-a-Kate-a-Kate-a cha-meee-lee-ohn. 100% agreed.
There’s been a handful of female actresses that came thru SNL, very funny women and SUPERVTALENTEDXFR, starting with Gilda Ragner, Jane Curtain, Lorraine Newman, Molly Shannon, Maya Rudolph, Kristin Wig, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Vanessa Bayer, Cecily Strong and Aidy Bryant. These are all amazing women in their own sense of style. I’m so glad I grew up in the 70’s, I was able to watch all these talented women excel further in their careers. YOU GOOOOO LADIES AND HAVE FUN DOING IT!! AND THANK YOU FOR ALL THE GOOD TIMES AND LAUGHS
Read a couple of articles about making a gender swap reboot of Mrs Doubtfire with Kate Mckinnon. With a good prosthetic makeup and a nice story she would e brilliant in that role.
@@gardengoddess1283 Radner. Gilda Radner. But I completely agree.
She is just so dam awesome in every thing she does.I love her skills not to mention she’s beautiful.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
That's exactly why I love when she plays ugly characters 🤣🤣🤣
The bit where she is telling her story of being captured by aliens is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I don't think any of the other cast members were able to keep a straight face through the whole thing. I know I wasn't!
The best!
Okay, so when I know that skit is coming I have to pause the tv and go to the bathroom first.
The character's name is Colleen Rafferty
Lol ms rafferty
It reminds me of the old circus elephant story Tim Conway told on the Carol Burnett show. No one could keep a straight face. (I know, I’m showing my age here 🤦🏼♀️👵🏻 lol)
I'm not sure how you can narrow her performances down to a top 20. Everything she does is hilarious.
!(: AMEN ;)!
While I think KMcK is one of the best comedians I've ever seen, anywhere, and has had me rolling on the floor a number of times, I have seen a few sketches that weren't really all that funny. No-one can be pull off an A-plus performance every single time. Not even the astonishing Peter Sellers, or the mind-boggling Sarah Silverman.
Gotta start somewhere ;-)
Or down to 22 mins. Like wtf lol
I appreciated Kellyanne skit, but Conway was and is so vile that I don’t that she is capable of even acting quite as obnoxious and as ridiculous and just hard core vile as the extremely soulless Kellyanne Cumway.
Giuliani kills me every time!!! She is a true gem and has perfected the dead pan delivery/ impersonations
lmaooooooo at the crimped hands…🥴😂🤣
Kate is one of my favorite actors EVER!!! I love Ms. Raferty, her stories are hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Whiskers R We” is one of my favorite skits! Adorable kittens, her dealings with the newest girlfriend and the crazy backstories of the kittens always makes me laugh.😂🥰❤️
The one with Kirsten Wigg is my favourite. I love their reactions to each other and how Wigg is obviously trying to make her break. Two top comedians having fun on live tv.
@@blackjakko kristen wiig and kate mckinnon is the dream team!
The cold open as Hillary singing Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' - post 2016 election- a personal favorite
I loved her alien sketch, “well it didn’t happen like that for me!!!!!”
She's the MOST beautiful , and talented comedian in the world ! I would completely melt for her !
Kate is the best cast member ever. She can nail any character. She is awesome. Love her.
I disagree.........you are forgetting Kristin Wiig
Aykroyd, Belushi, Murray, Wiig, Farley Radner, Short , Hartman, McKinnon, Murphy....
ya'll are lazy ,be another month ago n 'booc n "aand it's okey if I'm gayness tobleron?e" o.O
Read a couple of articles about making a gender swap reboot of Mrs Doubtfire with Kate Mckinnon. With a good prosthetic makeup and a nice story she would e brilliant in that role.
Kristen Whig went into the movies and I would be bereft were Ms. McKinnon to do the same, for we proles would not get to have her crawl into our heads as often as she does appearing on SNL. I ought call Mr. Loren Michael or a SNL producer and tell them I am available. I could make a thing out of being Founder of Transcendia. It is a fantastic story.
I can't imagine how she became this brilliant at her work. She never disappoints. I love her performances!
Absoluetly! Love Kate she's def. one of the most memorable of all on SNL! Very sad to see her and more move from SNL
Everything Kate does is absolutely insane. What a talent.
She really is amazing! One of all time greatest from SNLs long history.
Her Penelope Cruz was pitch perfect. The Ellen impersonation was delightful. But her Kellyanne was a masterpiece and, to a suffering nation, a moment of catharsis.
Kate McKinnon is iconic and one of the best performers ever, she can literally embody anyone and anything 😂
and shes hot too!
Literally? I wonder if that hurts.
As an Alabamian - I loved the Jeff sessions impressions. It was fantastic
Fellow Alabamian...I agree
Fellow Alabamian. Agree. CRYING LAUGHING.
It def deserves to be closer to the top. Its hilarious 🤣
I love, love, love Kate McKinnon - the funniest, smartest, most insightful... I could go on - comedian I've ever been fortunate to have seen! You are THE best, Kate, love ya! 💕💕
I love Kate. Miss her on SNL so much.
Kate is one of the best ever on SNL. She could play men, old men, women, old women, over exaggerated characters. She will keep you in stitches.Every character is a scream 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Everything Kate touched is GOLD!
Ms Rafferty's story about her abduction is still one of the funniest things I've ever heard.
She is absolutely awesome. I love the Caputo one.
I'm truly convinced that this woman is a shapeshifter who intentionally shows us only a small fraction of her powers.
BAHAHAHA, great interpretation of Kate's skills.
I agree far more than I can put into words.
I can believe it.😊😉
She can literally play anyone. Shes hilarious 😂
Kate's versality is mind blowing.
@@Clutching.My.Pearls Read a couple of articles about making a gender swap reboot of Mrs Doubtfire with Kate Mckinnon. With a good prosthetic makeup and a nice story she would e brilliant in that role.
Be honest, if they didn't tell you who some of the impersonations were supposed to be, would you really know?
Kate is amazing...singing "Hallelujah" as Hillary was sublime...can't believe it was not included on this video.
Rudy Giuliani is GOLDEN!!😂😂😂
Miss Rafferty is by far my favorite character. I never stop laughing and watching the other actors crack up at her is hilarious. 🤣
yep. no question.
Agreed. Ms. Rafferty is probably my favorite of her characters. She’s hilarious!!!
Kate is SNLs essence. She carries the show, as well as Kenan (always funny, watched him on All That growing up, love his humor.) The fact that one person can look like and embody Rudy, Hilary, The Devil, and actually do resemble them and their mannerisms is just a testament to how incredibly diverse she is. Kate as The Long Island Medium, the mannerisms and even down to her fingers twirling trying to explain something….spot on. It’s those little details that make her so amazing and truly one of a kind. She was born to make people laugh. 💜🤍
Kate McKinnon is definitely the best of snl, however that show is absolutely terrible compared to madtv
It's her eyes!!! They make each character even more hilarious 🤣🤣 that crazy lady at the bar for last call, had me in tears laughing so hard. It's like, she's making it up as she goes, on a whim 🤣🤣♥️♥️
! ! +1 ... Job well done. .. Kicking Off the 20 to 1 countdown list with Ms. Kate's impression of the Long Island Spiritual Medium is Priceless..
The Pantene commercial is the most memorable for me. Actually wheezing and laughing. My fave actors in SNL is Taran Killam and Kate McKinnon
I agree with the Taran and Kate❤
I love Kate McKinnon. She’s hilarious. Ms. Rafferty is always gonna be my favorite Kate McKinnon character. I feel like she can play any character and make it hilarious.
my coot coot and my prune shoot
My baby tunnel and gravy funnel. I don't have a landing strip so much as I have an abandoned air field. Hey, an experienced pilot can land anywhere, am I right? Rafferty has to be her absolute best character.
Ms. Rafferty is definitely mine too! I was surprised she wasn’t #1
I have blessed to have a few people this funny in my life. So grateful for that! :)
Wow, she can do it all, very impressive!!🤗
My fave is Kate doing RBG. Her dancing as RBG is hilarious.
All hail Kate The Great.
Kate is a world class actress. She pretty much stole the movie "Gostbusters". I cannot wait for more hilarious movies
The modern day Carol Burnett…absolutely brilliant.
This generation of female snl cast members is the freaking best!, especially Kate!
One of the best SNL cast members ever. Favorite actress
She is so awesome in so many ways. Funniest woman in history.
She is unbelievable. Definitely my favourite
Her Sia impression of the dancing child in her Chandelier video with Jim Carrey. Big smiles
I love Kate. Everything she does is amazing.
Even Ghostbusters 2016?
Her Dr Wenodis sketches are one of my top 5. They weren’t not only so relatable at the time but made everyone on them break. Kate is a treasure.
She is so incredibly talented. 10 years on SNL is a burn out, though. BUT we want to see her come back!!!!
The day she leaves SNL (and if Kenan Thompson leaves) will be a sad day
I think She leavs, becaouse we have 3 shows in the new season and She wasn't there in any of thas episodes :(
The first time I saw her on SNL she was impersonating Justin Bieber. I knew right then that she was a genius!
Kate needs this video for her resume!! You can't watch this video and not see the awe of the breadth of her skill set! Great video!!!!
I'm so glad you talked throughout the entire thing
As a Brit, a lot of the cultural/political references go over my head but I still marvel at Kate McKinnon's brilliant comic talent. She is one of your national treasures.
She is truly brilliant and a genious; when she played herself while playing the piano and singing hallelujah after the election and Cohen had died, to me, was the best memory ever. If she had not done that, I would still be on the counch crying. She knows how to capture the essence of each character and situation. Long live our Kate!
@@hopedamon7116 psst...just fix genius and you're good. P.S. Do you mean Michael Cohen? He's still alive.
I’ve always thought she’s like an American Tracey Ullman. That level of genius and versatility.
The Bieber is the best it's at the end of a different compilation video.
@@baronvonmunchausen9516 I think they meant Leonard Cohen, the singer of Hallelujah. he died in 2016 and SNL did a cold open tribute a week later of Kate as Hillary Clinton lamenting her election loss by singing his song.
Kate is a comedy genius! I absolutely adore her. She is one of the reasons I still watch the show
All of Kate's skits are HILARIOUS !!!
Love all of them, I guess Jeff Sanders and Kellyanne stand out, also female scientist in Ghostbusters II.
I will say her playing Hillary and singing Halleluiah is probably the only time SNL made me cry
Me too……
That was the moment when Kate McKinnon's greatness was truly cemented in my mind.
Which video is that?
@@leaschoneich1253 the one the Saturday after the 2016 election
I loved her Judy Garland/Dorothy Wizard of Oz sketch. She really nailed that.
A sensational comedic talent that will be missed from the cast. This past season felt somewhat empty without her presence.
Every time I see Martha Stewart, Kate's line runs through my mind and I LMAO! Love you, Kate!
The Penelope Cruz Pantene commercial is one of my favorites SNL sketches ever
This lady is pure gold.
no
Kate McKinnon is exactly as funny as Amy Shumer. I especially love how she does every one of her impersonations as the exact same character.
I was lucky enough to meet her once at her premiere in Westwood. She’s a living legend. Just incredible!! 😂😂🎉
The alien abduction i truly lost it, as did everyone in the skit...... And as the lush with dave chapelle at closing time .....you have that "still here" quality.....i died
She’s so good at playing wacky bizarre comedic characters, so if one day she acts in a dramatic role, that’ll be insanely impressive
Well she's playing Carole Baskin. That might have some dramatic parts I don't know.
She did also play an in the closet lesbian in Bombshell. I guess that was a sort of change in character for her
I have been lucky enough to watch Saturday Night Live since 1977 With my mama when I was 7. I thought I was the coolest kid around my friends parents didn't let them watch it or even stay up past 9pm. My mom was the best! I'm 53 now and mom's gone😞 I'm fortunate to get to watch all the Shows since the 70s thanks to Various channels and KZhead😀 Still watching today😂 SNL Is The Best!!!!! Thank you for much needed Laughs and smiles, To All the characters Past and Present 💞
The greatest. When she as Kelly Ann fell out the high window and then resurrects herself in robotic form. So funny!
One of the greatest Kate McKinnon moments was when she performed “Hallelujah” solo on piano performing as Hilary Clinton - when she said “I’m not giving up and neither should you. “ Simply poignant and truly beautiful.
I cried. She honored Hillary and made me grieve for what could have been.
You can thank the DNC for electing Trump. If they hadn't put their thumb on the scale, Bernie would have been POTUS instead of Trump
She's fantastic. Best female comedy actress ever and I'm 70 seen em all. Blessed to of had her in my visual and audio life. Never ceases to amaze me. Love her bad
The dancing clown... priceless. That whole bit was great
I love love LOVE Kate! Her characters are ALWAYS spot on. Great content.
Miss Rafferty for sure. She's great in everything she does, but her alien abductions were the best!
I have to agree the alien abduction was hysterical.
should be #1
Those HAD to be adlibed!
She funny from her cooter to her prune shooter. 😆 🤣 😂
@@belowmeoff from her clams casino to her bean burrito.
I have to tape SNL because the sketches are hilarious…especially when I see Kate. I just know I will be rewinding several times because I am laughing so hard…she is this generation’s Lucille Ball 🤣🤣
So true! 👏🏼👏🏼
Tape?
Got me with the HimaLayin on the couch 😂😂😂 thats legit one of my favorites. I bust out laughing and fall over everytime 😂😂😂
Kate is my favorite EVER!
I love Kate, she always makes me laugh and lightens dark times. Keep up the great job, we need desperately to have a humorous escape and Kate provides that.
When she slayed Pennywise, It was epic
Kellywise
I busted laughing over Teresa the long island medium 😂 She nailed it!! I bet she laughed when she seen this! I love SNL since a kid!
Sadly, I missed a lot of those so thanks for showing some so I can look for a video of that entire skit. My favorite is your number 4, with Ryan Gosling as a straight guest. Kate manages to get pretty much the rest of the cast laughing which is priceless.
She’s the best. Can’t wait for her to return to snl!
I loved her KellyAnne impression
Kate the THE BEST actress that show has ever had. She is too good for SNlL. Kate is one of the finest comediennes ever.
At the risk of being somewhat sacrilegious, Kate is the "Robin Williams" of female comedians.The Best of the Best !!! If/when she decides to do some serious roles/work on the main screen, then perhaps she will be heralded as his equal. We shall see......we hope.
Agreed. She is the best.
"Kate is the "Robin Williams" of female comedians" That is spot on! That is the most accurate sentence to describe her
Did she and Robin ever meet? When mourning the great feminis's death, Kate did my heart good with her soulful shining untamable RBG's character!
How did Ms. Rafferty not get #1? These are all hilarious. She breaks all the others in it. 😘
I will never forget any of these. They were all very funny because it was Kate McKenna. I couldn’t stop laughing.
She is fabulous... i love them all. too hard to choose a favorate. Bravo!
For me, the Pantene Commercial with Sofia Vergara is the one I like the most. I quote it very frequently with my friends, when describing something complex. COMPLICATED SCIENCE!!
I hate that Kate isn't on SNL now. I miss her; she was really great. Losing her was bad enough, but having BECK leave, too, is too much for me. Both of them are phenomenal. Really enjoyed this list, Ms. Mojo!
She’s filming a movie. She’ll be back
I thought I heard that Kate McKinnon is in the Tigar king movie. I hope that she will be back after it's done. And Beck Bennett leaving made me sad because he was funny, meshed well with everyone who he is on the sketch with. And a good actor. He will be missed by is fans and I am sure by the rest of the cast members. On another note when is Colin Jost going to show his baby on camera and it would be funny if Scarlett Johansson and him played a married couple in a few episodes.
Correct! She's totally still an SNL cast member (I will not watch anymore if she leaves), she's just filming Joe Exotic as Carol Baskin in Australia
I get it now. I hope it come on Amazon Prime or Netflix to watch it. Do you know how we can watch it?
She only took time off to do a movie. She came back on the December 11, 2021 episode with Billie Eilish.
never stopped to realize just. how diverse, talented and committed she is!
“I’ve had it before and I’d like it again”😂😂😂
