Its Time to Get Rid of Kate McKinnon

Her time has come come and gone. Enough already.

Who keeps starting these bizarre threads?

She has flopped in her movies. She should just stick to the Trump sketches on SNL.

I love her. Wish she had hosted tonight instead of Jost and Che.

This is really tasteless, considering she secretly underwent chemo for much of last season.

Like this one, R4. No reason, no explanation, no article, not even a photo to comment on. There's been a spree of them lately. "_______ is bad." "_______ is over." "_______" is collapsing."

She’s not funny, she’s not talented. She stinks. She’s been on SNL, what, almost ten years? That’s longer than most. Time to go! She had one voice and impersonation that she uses for everyone.

I loved "The Spy Who Dumped Me", it is unfortunate it wasnt more of a success at the box office.

She seems immensely talented to me.

I love her. Most talented person from SNL in ages.

I like her. I think she’s funny.

I've liked her since the Big Gay Sketch Show so yeah, fuck off!

I like her although something seems mentally off with her.

Of everyone except Hil herself, she probably most wishes Clinton had won. She'd have been set for the next 4-8 years on SNL.

She and Bill Hader are the two truly gifted people on SNL in the past 10 years. The cast is always strong, but those two are the best by far.

R17 she's a comedian. They are all mentally off!

It looks like the entire cast is coming back from last year except for Luke Null.

The new season starts September 29.

AOL: Adam Driver to host ‘SNL’ season 44 opener, Kanye West to perform

The child from Oak Park is their best right now. The male cast is 50 shades of Kevin Nealon.

Why does she seem mentally off? She just seems enormously private to me.

R24 hold on, let me just run and get my doctorate in psychology and then I can give you a specific criteria. I’m not sure, She just appears off...

I don’t understand why she has that affected, 1940s Hollywood accent. Very strange.

R26 Yeah, that accent is strange especially since she grew up on Long Island.

McKinnon is a decent sketch performer. But, she's overrated and her fangirls at L Chat post a lot of nasty things about one of McKinnon's girlfriends and also they post racist and mean things about McKinnon's SNL co-stars except for Leslie and Kenan.

I like her but she seems desperate since she lost the Hilary character.

OP, Kate isn't going anywhere. At least not this season. Lorne loves her:

ET: Lorne Michaels on Rumors Kate McKinnon Is Leaving 'Saturday Night Live'

The show may need those people if rumors of breakout star and Emmy nominee Kate McKinnon leaving are true.

"This is her last year on her contract," Michaels revealed. But he's in no hurry to push his star out the door. "She could stay, she'd get a lifetime contract."

Love her and that guido cat of hers. Get off the dining room table!

Holy Crap! The cancer thing. Of course it is true. Everyone from Sea Cliff gets cancer. Major cancer cluster. Someone told me it was the old Wa Ching plant up stream in Glen Cove. Once I realised everyone around me was coming down with cancer, I bolted! Gorgeous home on that hairpin turn. Everyone had cancer. Children. Pets. So alarming.

My buddy who was older and grew up in Glen Cove told me the crap dumped into the water there by that old plant was responsible for eating through the chain of an anchor. Yes! Sailboats would just be found in the Long Island Sound just floating along. Their chains corroded. Also there were never any seagulls on the beach there. I always wondered what was missing and strange. Once I pieced this together, gone in 3 days and moved temporarily to a place I didn't care for. Didn't care. Hightailed it but right quick.

OMG!

Wow, R34. Good you "realised" what was happening. But maybe your risk factor isn't as high as a native. When did you immigrate to the US?

I think she’s funny but in typical SNL fashion they over-use her to the point a lot of her characters start to sound the same or aren’t really funny enough to warrant recurring status.

I never heard of her. I thought the title of this thread referred to the redhead who was Cass' one true love on "Another World".

R29 McKinnon started a dating a woman who is ten years younger than her a couple of years back. The L Chat fangirls don't like that at all and they make fun of that woman's looks. The woman isn't bad looking at all. Recent speculation is that McKinnon broke up with that woman and is dating a 20 year old European actress who was also in that spy movie.

The posters on L Chat bash Alex Moffat, Beck Bennett, Heidi Gardner, Kyle Mooney, and Mikey Day to no end. I'm not a fan of Kyle Mooney, but the others are decent sketch performers. This past season many posters said nasty things about Heidi Gardner's appearance and performances. But, if someone bashed Leslie Jones or Aidy Bryant tons of replies defending Leslie and Aidy would follow. They complained constantly about Mikey and Alex appearing in a lot of sketches. Yet, they would get pissy if someone posted that Kenan was in too many sketches.

While I like Kate, I do feel she's overrated and has run her course on SNL. I actually think Cecily Strong is better than Kate. But, Cecily is someone who gets pushed to the side. I wish Cecily would have been nominated this year instead of Kate, Aidy, and Leslie.

I don’t care for her, but as long as we stay away from each other we cool.

Ruth Badger Ginsburg loves Kate’s characterization of her. Kate will be there as long as she wants. Hillary adores her. That triples her appeal To Lauren. She is truly outstanding, I LOVE HER.

R40 Lauren... lmao. Loren

Oooh, bring back Bill Hader. He was very sexy. Remember the sketch where he played a kind of human doll, "Alan"? Nice to see him do some moves.

She keeps taking the wrong roles, she's doing these Melissa Mcarthy esque roles in these terrible generic sitcoms instead of doing smaller parts in movies like Kristen Wiig did before Bridesmaids (Knocked up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Adventureland etc...)

I think this is about her... who is the other gal?

R48 "both of are used to working as the female lead" and "who would be the straight person if they did a comedy" suggests it's two hollywood actresses, probably Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick.

Long Island is basically a toxic waste pit. I worked for NYPIRG around 2000 trying to convince people to let us clean up the superfund sites in their back yards, playgrounds, parks, under their businesses, etc. I can’t tell you how many times people broke down sobbing over those they’d lost to cancer nor how many had cancer themselves. It was pretty much everybody. Long Island should be ejected into space. It’s radioactive.

My late uncle lived in West Hempstead. He had nose cancer - twice. The second time it spread to his brain and killed him. So odd.

McKinnon's father died of cancer years ago. She has a younger sister who performs stand up comedy under the stage name Emily Lynne. In this video the sister's uses the dad's death as part of her act.

Hi Cecily's mom.

R52 said: "I worked for NYPIRG around 2000 trying to convince people to let us clean up the superfund sites in their back yards, playgrounds, parks, under their businesses, etc."

The way you wrote that sentence makes it sound like the people of Long Island want to drink from contaminated wells and they resisted your attempts to clean the place up.

I remember NYPIRG. They used to go door to door asking for money for lobbying. Most people want clean air and water. They probably didn't think that NYPIRG was going to change things. And frankly, soliciting funds that way is inefficient and makes people think the group sending them is kind of shady.

I love Kate McKinnon and They Spy Who Dumped Me was superb.

She is great at so many forms of comedy but the physicality of the trapeze was phenomenal.

She makes SNL watchable.

McKinnon's seven year SNL contract up this year. I'm curious if she will leave on her own or will end up being another Kenan.

Her impressions are terrible.

They're not even close to the person she's attempting to impersonate.

Just aggressively bad.

I love Kate - especially her Jeff Sessions. But my favourite is Beck Bennett - I have a crush on him, doing Vlad or just anybody. Like Kennan as well, and Cecily Strong - isn't she leaving? I even love Alec's Trump. Hope they keep skewering the WH. That shit writes itself.

Vanessa and Cecily should have left together.

The pornographic spokes models was classic.

ANAL!

She showed a different side of herself in this interview:

R63, if you pay attention, that "interview" is an improv game.

Kate is a MASTER of improv and she will yes-and you until her face is up your ass. Really.

McKinnon should've had plastic surgery done on her nose.

She's taking on a dramatic role. This movie will be an Oscar bait fail.

I love Kate! Obviously not enough to stay current with SNL. Was she on the premiere? And more importantly, was Beck Bennett? He's my favorite.

Hey. We only do one murder/high speed auto accident coverup, a century.

Kate was Miss Graham in the Cold open. She was fabulous and she was RBG on Weekend Update. Also fabulous.

Beck shone during the final minutes as a racist arranging a white people's homeland. He was hot in a beard.

I think Kate will leave after this season.

She didn't have a lot of air time last night.

There's something weird an autistic about her comedy.

Her caricatures end up turning into grotesques more often than not...she's OK, not great.

Love her, she is my fav on SNL. Her Rudy rocks it with the eyes.

The Spy Who Dumped me is fabulous!

She looks like Bjorn Ulvaeus of ABBA’s wife, Lena.

Her weird ass questioner was on point for the QnA sketch. I have sat through HUNDREDS of women like this.

I hope this overrated cunt is shoved as Elizabeth Warren when SNL returns.

She is fantastic. The best addition to SNL in a long time. Her Jeff Sessions was /is priceless.

Spy who dumped me was hilarious.

I like her. If you don't like her, OP /R81, you can just not watch her, right? Or is that not an option?

And what does "shoved as Elizabeth Warren" mean?

I love Kate! She's the most talented on SNL. She's also family so fuck you OP.

STFU I love her. Her accents and talent for physical comedy are incredible.

I can't stand her. There is something weird and autistic about her delivery.

Love her. Her dyke abducted by aliens is priceless.

Generally I like her, but something about her Laura Ingraham doesn't quite work. Perhaps she's not butch enough.

She was great on SNL years back. These days her impersonations suck.

She just tries to take the space too much....she's not good as working as part of a team, where sometimes you have to play the straight role.

If her portrayal of Elizabeth Holmes sucks in that upcoming Hulu series then maybe her career will end for good.

[quote]I can't stand her. There is something weird and autistic about her delivery.

I wouldn't be surprised if she is actually on the autism spectrum.

I hope she leaves SNL after this season.
