It’s too bad about Gene’s wife... she and Gemma were best friends, girl power. Remember when she ate all those onion rings?

[@HappyLife693]

@@eleanormunday2326 no, I don't think British people sound like that. It is an exaggeration of some clueless character from England. It's just a joke. We southerners are accustomed to being characterized. Just like Vinnie from The Bronx is an exaggeration of the accent there.

[@TheLwaller09]

Cecily is so underrated in her place of all-time SNL cast members.

[@tc_is_me]

Agreed.

[@talisa222]

Still the funniest member active right now in my eyes, her stuff is never forced or ridiculous, it’s always perfectly on point. Cecily supremacy.

Cecily is pure gold. Keegan makes an excellent host. So talented and can play any role

[@lionheart3567]

Even the SNL host cant stop laughing at Keegan, They are all so shocked how this guy can come in & roll the show to what ever direction he wants.

[@standardofexcellence]

He came from mad tv a more consistently funny show

[@craignelson3756]

@@standardofexcellence I'd go off on that statement, but I haven't seen enough Mad TV to back it up. Tons of talent has filtered through MadTV. Bobby Lee being my fave. It's like the Beatles v Stones rivalry. One is obviously much better than the other, but makes for a fun argument

[@nicolerizzo1314]

The way Cecily always keeps her mouth slightly open when she plays Gemma is super perfect Also, "I miss you babe, I'll let you do whatever for 30 seconds"

[@robertodelosangeles1310]

It’s not that her mouth’s open, it’s that she has in those hilariously realistic British fronts...

[@amandahallman1091]

Was looking for this comment haha

[@jakepullman4914]

Cecily's arm is sore from carrying all these skits single-handed.

[@tyffaneelavely8087]

these skits are based around her character, so yeah of course she is going to be the funniest part. I hate when people say blah blah carrying skits. Everyone else did their part well. Without them doing their part well, her part as the main focus wouldn't have been as good. No one carried anyone in this, just like many other ones for the same reasons.

[@juljuldatuber]

@@tyffaneelavely8087it wasnt that serious, it is just an appreciation

[@Mels925]

I'm pretty sure Heidi almost lost it when she asked Gene if he had to go because his boys were blue but she is a legend and held it in

[@offbeat65]

Legend, because...? What is her hallmark moment in SNL? Cecily has dozens, but I have trouble remembering one of hers.

[@alanrobb9934]

@@offbeat65 Heidi has had plenty of great moments- off the top of my head , in this very episode on the Michael Jordan sketch. Also, deep quotes, the “kooba” and “norlins “ ones, the Africa one with Adele, plenty more. She’s a really solid cast member and she still pretty new and learning her craft. Plus she does Bailey Gismert and the boxers girlfriend. She has plenty of characters and plenty different styles. I love Cecily, agree she has countless good moments, but Heidi is support in this sketch , which is part of the job on SNL. She has been brilliant in many sketches and has shown versatility. It’s early for her but she is well on her way to being a star

[@Nimesay1]
