As most of you know, I'm a pretty huge Saturday Night Live fan and one of my favorite performers is the one and only Kate McKinnon. Her impressions are spot on, she usually never breaks character and she seems like a genuinely fun person to hang around with. In honor of her birthday today (1/6), I've decided to share a few of my favorite sketches of her on SNL from over the years.

Kate joined the cast in April of 2012 and has over 50 people she impersonates including politicians, pop stars, public figures and more. Happy birthday, Kate!

"Close Encounter"

If I ever get abducted by aliens, I hope it's something like this!

"Hotel Ad"

We've all stayed in a place like this!

"Pet Rescue Commercial"

Adopt, don't shop.

Kate McKinnon as Ellen DeGeneres

Go F yourselves.

Martha Stewart for Match.com

Everyone deserves love.

Jade was born and raised in Detroit Rock City and grew up listening to Led Zeppelin, The Who, Tom Petty, etc. In high school she tried multiple different styles from cheerleader to goth but couldn’t do gymnastics and couldn’t get her eyeliner dark enough. She settled on jeans and a t-shirt, playing sports and making normal situations overly awkward. When she’s not making bad jokes on the radio you can find her shanking golf balls into the woods on the golf course and drinking beers at the bar. She has a strict two shot limit when it comes to tequila. Jade enjoys writing and talking about everything happening in Detroit Rock City, our Detroit sports teams, golf, and her fear of robots.
