Everything she did was 100%. She jumped off the deep end with every character. One of the best to ever grace that stage. Her "QVC host audition tapes" sketch is as classic and hysterical as they come...

[@wrinkleneckbass]

Cecily is so beautiful and talented, it was really heartbreaking when she left SNL.

[@homesickNovalis]

So happy to see her on here.. lot of cast members were really funny but limited in range. She could play so many different types of characters and she was always hilarious.. and her accents were superb..

[@kevingreen5834]

you should do a compilation of everybody's Lorne impression!!

[@jaelo2314]

Bringing SNL to us sounds painfully involved. What we see is joyfully easy to watch. Thanks for the (hard) labor. We so need each of you during and after your time there.

[@tweetscotchy1093]

So talented! Thanks for interviewing Cecily. She is amazing.

[@victorgreen1176]

Cecily has such a good radio voice I think

[@bruceward97]

She’s really likeable and talented. One of the better interviews

[@lisahardy9707]

A worthy candidate for the SNL hall of fame

I was in the overflow room! They said it was because they thought my plane was going to be late. Smigel took me out of there.

[@kharbear53]

I just started listening, when are you going to be on the podcast? ❤

[@rocketimpossible5196]

It wasn't the plane. Hugo Chavez, JFK JR, the purple M&M, and Ms Potato Head conspired with the Deeper State to keep you off the broadcast.

[@OlSkoolFanatic]

In the beginning of the interview she throws David Spade one of the best compliments anyone will ever receive and he missed it. She said “ I actually have a picture of you and I and I ‘think’ Bradley Cooper…”. I’m just saying, when you are the one she remembers over you or Bradley Cooper say thanks. 😂

[@61Slughi]

She was fantastic doing the voiceovers on a bunch of SNL commercial parodies.

[@NativeIntelligenceCheckMyDJmix]

I know it's weird to be in love with someone you don't know but, my god she is just the best, finest, most talented woman ever. Her Lorne impression was tops on originality and humor.

[@susiesprojects]

Love that her character development starts with the teeth. ....😂

[@rhoheta5243]

The point about Schmigadoon is that it's a musical that pokes fun at musicals. That can make it more interesting for non-musical fans to watch.

[@kristiannelson1851]

So many incredibly talented people from SNL, but for me Cecily was the most talented all-around performer SNL ever had. She was the anchor of every sketch. She can go drama, accents, comedy, timing, character work, and also has incredible singing voice. She should be an A-list actor in movies.

[@petertosh5328]

That’s so crazy lmaooo. Cecile Strong who’s most famous sketches involve her being serious and making a social point with no comedy involved is more talented than Farley, Sandler, Will Ferrel, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock or Louis C.K. Hahahahhahaa so far since she’s left she’s booked a t mobile commercial with Seth Myers and that’s it! Hahahahahahhaah

[@petertosh5328]

Sorry just had to come back to this ridiculous comment…..Mike Myers, David Spade, Dana Carvey, Chevy Chase, John Candy, Phil Hartman, JOHN BE-fuckin-LUSHI…… all take a backseat to Cecile Strong in the TALENT department lmaoooo. Well isn’t that special

[@petertosh5328]

Kenan Thompson…. Hahahahahahahahahahahaa

*Eastside Low Bottoms sh*t !* _Tappin' in from South Central LA_ As someone who kinda grew up on SNL, I've been binging on these a few episodes at a time. Cecily had a lot of strong appearances. And cute asf !

Cathy Anne is my favorite character; I really think they could do a hilarious movie about her!

[@h20doctor]

Applause applause standing ovation love you guys... From Lake Stevens WA,

[@shawnuel]

Like Chris Pratt!

[@NDemanuele1]

This was an educational episode! The reason I'm stating this is because Cecily went over how she started and it shows it's not as easy as it seems. Still have to put the work in no matter how talented you are. I still live in the area of CHS ( where Dana went to HS) and recall I had a friend that was hilarious and had the odd look of a comedian to boot! We both took the same English class as Dana did with the same teacher. Anyway, when I heard my friend was trying standup, I thought it was just a matter of time. Eventually he moved to LA and I saw him on TV as an extra on "3rd Rock from the Sun" a sitcom in the late 90s. Since that episode he did standup here and there but didn't make it. It's mentioned in this episode and previous episodes where when people are starting out and they are exposed to working with talent that made it and proven themselves it does provide a boost of confidence/motivation to keep striving to make it to their level - it rubs on them. Maybe that's what my friend needed? Also, the phrase: "Persistence Pays Off" is very true in this case. Although the entertainment business is exponentially tougher! - I can't imagine!

[@RavenclawNimbus]

She is incredibly talented. I originally just thought she was funny and cute, but she's like, really talented. She can sing, and she's just very versatile in general. She, unlike some SNL actors started in theatre, rather than just comedy. You really see what she can do in 'Schmigadoon!'

[@bugdane27]

Let’s go, love hearing from more recent/current cast members

[@jimijackson]

She is one of my favs on SNL.....and very reowww

[@blautens]

Cecily deserves all the awards. All.

[@caesarvolz6945]

Who is this Kate McGinnon that Dana sometimes mentions?

[@Ozmodiar-JM]

I cannot believe Dana addressed the Turtleman 9/11 story! I remember when my friends and I first saw that meme I laughed myself into literal tears of pure joy.

I was going to marry her, but we never met.

[@drasher25]

Cecily's Update segment about abortion as a clown was one of the most poignant and moving bits of comedy I've ever seen.

[@petertosh5328]

Too bad it wasn’t funny. If snl was a poignant show that’s supposed to move you that’d be badass. It’s a comedy show and that wasn’t funny at all. Like most of Cecily’s characters

[@MiddleMalcolm]

Agreed. 👍Sits with so many greats that came before, who knew when it was important to use their comedic platform, to make an important statement.

[@janedoeski9196]

I thought it was kinda uncomfortable. Love her tho

[@shawnuel]

@@petertosh5328 Believing you can't do poignant moments on comedy shows is a very limited perspective, man. And you think most of Cecily's characters aren't funny at all?

[@petertosh5328]

@@shawnuel yes. To me she’s literally the least funny person I’ve ever seen on snl. Maybe there’s a few people who were unknown and only on for a season who were worse, but as far as long standing cast members go she’s definitely the least funny and most opinionated about her views. Name her funniest 3 sketches…. And snl can be poignant but it damn well better be hilarious. Just like stand ups. If you’re making some political statement on a comedy show it better end hilarious…. Otherwise you get to the end of a long sentence where everyone is waiting for a punchline (because it’s a comedy show) and they just end their point and everyone is suuuuper let down. I don’t come to snl to hear some comedians views. They aren’t amazing ground breaking views either. She’s not with anti abortion laws…. Most people agree…. It’s not cutting-edge comedy it’s a chick who’s not funny making a social point as if we should care what this comedians views are…. It’s so cringe to me

[@nujak1970]

Yeap, the British accent is tops!

[@davidhiltebrand3987]

“Did you bring a plus one to the after party?” Spade low-key (and respectfully) hitting on Cecily. Can’t blame him

Kyle Mooney was my favorite from this era I think

[@alanmartino5488]

Definitely underrated !

[@victorgreen1176]

Getting a little worried when she was talking about Keenan Michael Key (pulling my collar out-Jeesh), like she was gonna ask if she could say the n-word again omg. Anywho, also I find it incredible how the SNL people were so self conscious about being the last sketch on the episode, I thought it was almost planned that the last sketch sucked-but then I learn there were a lot that got cut? Wow,‘you mean there was MORE after that? What if we never really knew, and maybe the bad turns to good and if they did the top 40 sketches every week, we could work through the dumb judgements and find something we weren’t aware of?

[@filipsolis5253]

Glad to know that she's an actual human being xD

Another embarrassing outing for Dana. Saying "I've got nothing," when you can't be bothered to care or prepare for an interview is so Fu#$& disrespectful, it's insane. I can't believe someone so lucky to work is still able to convey such an unwarranted air of superiority. Stop talking, Dana. If Spade wasn't on this show, nobody would listen. And thank you, David, for taking this seriously and treating these cast members and celebrities with some love and respect.
