Kate McKinnon on Good Hang with Amy Poehler

with KM Kate McKinnon

The Hang, in Short

Adie Bryant opens by admitting if she played cello, everyone would know about it immediately. "You'd know it, babe. You'd know it. Day one." Meanwhile, Kate McKinnon casually reveals she plays piano AND cello, paints, and now does woodworking and homesteading, all while being one of SNL's greatest sketch performers. The contrast is perfect. Adie and Amy bond over Kate's mysterious introvert energy, how she and Adie shared an SNL office starting in 2012 and gave each other permission to leave parties early. They made those girl group music videos together at the Douglas House, including "Twin Bed" and "Backcom Ballers." Adie's favorite Kate move? Performing brilliantly all week, then completely changing everything live at air, leaving Adie thinking "this bitch is letting it rip" while standing right beside her. Amy's pumped to talk homesteading, The Roses, and the second Millisent Quib book.
