Kate McKinnon’s Love for SNL
Kate McKinnon, the beloved former cast member of Saturday Night Live (SNL), recently shared her sentiments about potentially returning to the iconic comedy show. During her appearance on the ‘Today’ show, McKinnon, a multi-Emmy winner, expressed an eagerness to revisit her comedic roots. “You know … I do still live in New York, so it’s not too far of a train ride, couple stops,” she remarked with her signature smile. Her enthusiasm was palpable as she stated, “yeah, I’ll come back. I would love to come back.” This enthusiasm points to her lasting connection with the show.
A Recent Return to Studio 8H
This year, McKinnon made a brief return to SNL, joining actor Ryan Gosling for a new spin on the fan-favorite “close encounter” sketch during the cold open. This appearance served as a reminder of her enduring presence in the SNL family, even as she continues to pursue other creative ventures. In fact, she was on the morning talk show to promote her upcoming children’s book, titled ‘The Millicent Quibb School of Etiquette for Young Ladies of Mad Science’. As she shared her journey of writing, McKinnon humorously noted the extensive effort behind the scenes, admitting she had about 500 drafts of the first chapter on her computer.

The recent broadcast featured actress Jean Smart as the host alongside musical guest Jelly Roll, tackling topical issues from the indictment of New York City Mayor Eric Adams to a satire of internet sensations. With a blend of nostalgia and fresh content, SNL’s legacy endures, leaving fans eager for potential cameos from its most cherished alumni, including Kate McKinnon.
