We need a Kate McK skit, where she's being interviewed after being abducted by elves, and taken to the North Pole for a some bizarre ritual.

[@purplegh0st311]

We need this!!!!

[@dianapevtsov]

"...Then they asked if they could put their north pole in ma' south hole..."

[@slide4180]

Umm... whoa...okay...

[@RobertPilla]

There I was with my Hootinanny all in full bloom exposed to those little red nosed Cheribs. I knew what they wanted and it wasn't no candy cane. I'll tell you what.

[@doctorfeelok8575]

@@slide4180 You clearly don't get the reference LOL

[@laalaa99stl]

First sketch should be the aliens giving Kate back.

[@everythingcollectibles]

And Cecily and Aidy coming back in the skit as well!

[@steffnic13]

Sprinkle in some Ryan Gosling while at it … maybe some Barbie bonding gets him there.

[@DuoForbidden]

I hope to see Billie Eilish in a sketch with Kate!

[@tp5561]

I hope it’s better than what I just watched

[@bebesomething]

she has no personality so I doubt it

[@Sr.ArmandoCruz]

😂😂😂😂😂 I still LIVE for the sketch of the Hotel Commercial they did when Billie hosted.

[@loveinthematrix]

feeeersh

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

@@bebesomething Go away troll! She has an amazing personality!

[@SmartiiesRIOT]

"Hi, I'm Kate McKinnon and I'm hosting SNL this week" cryinggg 🥹

[@jamesjimowen]

She better du "Ms Rafferty" or I'll B thuroLee disappointed. 🙂🙂🙂👽

How about the Blob Fish. 😂😂❤

[@abdussohail9994]

Olya too😂

[@TabethaAurochs]

Kate poking Billie in the generic hotel/yogurt jail sketch kills me every time, as does Kate saying "Band aid colored blanket." ❤Pairing them together is a true gift!

[@JennyverseLive]

WET EGG

[@coolboss999]

This is definitely going to be one of the best episodes of the season! I hope more previous SNL cast members host in the future ❤

[@therock8288]

Maya and Kristen will be there

[@Rat0n3lla]

The way billie is just standing there most of the time 😭😭

[@lucycarlos4923]

You got it ,she doesn't look confortable

Kate McKinnon is the best!!! When I am watching her, immediately smile comes on my face 🎉❤😁🎇😀 she is incredible! 😀 Thank you Kate for coming back.💜❤️😁

[@attilakohbor3360]

no wonder 😅

[@billieeilishisthetruequeen]

Kate McKinnon and Billie Eilish are my favorite duo ever! They’re so funny together! I love❤❤❤

[@BILLIE_EILISH_FAN_]

Can’t freaking wait I’m going to stay up all night and all day watching these on her birthday

[@Stars.Eilish]

Love

[@galvinklatt5273]

Kate McKinnon is such a singular talent. She is so smart but equally silly…kinda reminds me of Steve Martin in that way with the same kind of gravity. She never disappoints.

[@ashleytaveras9035]

I'm starting to feel the Christmas spirit because of you Kate!!! 🎄💚💗🎄💚💗

[@delila1830]

The sun isn't the farthest away from the sun at winter solstice. It's the closest to the sun at the beginning of January, usually 3rd or 4th. Aphelion and perihelion. It's cold in winter in the northern hemisphere because of the angle at which we rotate. Otherwise it would be cold in the southern hemisphere as well. 🎶 The more you know... 🎶

[@3rdmm]

Scrolling down the comments to see if somebody wouldn't let that slip by....and yep, there it was.

[@user-lz2rf2wq8p]

Kate Mckinnon!!!! I miss her so bad!!!!!!🥺🥺🥺🥺💗

[@Sr.ArmandoCruz]

And we will be SAT for this! I hope you bring your good olde friend Aidy Bryant! ❤❤ I miss y’all

[@victorhiggins9636]

KATE’S BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@chloV7]

YAS!! KATE IS BACK ON SNL!! 🎉🎉❤❤

[@LycanLink]

I think it's only been like a year since Kate left, but I've missed her horribly, so I'm happy to see her again. 🥰

[@landen3578]

This is probably going to be show of the season!

[@clarajoao3359]

HELL YEAH!

[@michaelmurillo1899]

It should be. I recall in May 2022 when SNL decided to shake up the cast due to large members that led to an emotional S47 finale.

[@peterg5383]

@@michaelmurillo1899 wrote "due to large members" HEYO!

[@charlotteeo746]

Mother has returned, Kate I love you

[@mhxistenz]

As unhinged as only Kate can be. 😂 So psyched!

[@D.I.G.]

God I love Kate, I’ll never forget Kellywise 😂 and Rudy Guliani 😊❤

[@watchmanofthedragon]

Have a great show ladies, I've always enjoyed watching you gals Happy birthday on Monday Billie!

[@gabrielle2829]

Billie and Kate I don't think I can cope with this

[@Zafaruss]

I absolutely love Kate McKinnon I’m SO GLAD SHES BACK. And for Ego to be her in this OMFGGG I CANT WAIT

[@JBZACK2001]

For the first time I have an alarm set 15 minutes before SNL comes on and so far I have not missed an episode!

[@kenneld]

I haven't seen this much excitement in over a hundred years.

[@drumjod]

As someone who loved SNL as a teen in the 90's, I still love it today. It's still just as 'hit or miss' as ever, but when it hits, it's hilarious. Always interesting to see others who say it hasn't been funny in 'x' years. I'll admit, most of these promos are pretty boring, but I found this one entertaining. Props to Kate McKinnon for that : )

[@kyndallallen]

Omg! I can't wait to see Billies performance! Ik it's going to be great!❤❤❤

[@goldwinged_angel9029]

I can't wait to see billie on snl again I love her so much ❤️❤️

[@sehrschee]

Kate X Billie... what a duo to end the year with. CANT ELVING WAIT

[@chadmeredith1198]

Hopefully Aidy Bryant will be in one of the sketches. I miss seeing those two together!

[@nothingmancer1607]

Yesssss! Kate McKinnon is back!!!! Can't wait

[@sherylsimmons8111]

It's going to be so good! I can't wait! 😊❤🎄

[@pembrokelove]

OMFG I was literally just saying last week that I hoped Kate would be back to host soon. Manifested it. I’m obaessed with Kate, and cannot WAIT for this show. 😊

[@christinap-c]

Times like this I hope they read the comments. ❤

[@sparkythancztwise]

omg these are the best! These three make a great trio for the promos missed these promos before the holiday show --but didn't miss the show, was awesome!

[@BelleTolles]

Billie has great comedic skills

[@pason6811]

You know what we all love besides Chrismas? Kate Mckinnon

[@butchytam71]

OMG I can't wait. I watch SNL religiously and really miss Kate this year. Excited for Billie as well 🤣😜❤

[@matthewjames206]

Giddy up! I'm hyped for this one. I love Christmas SNL 🍻

[@victoriadeguzman6198]

Former cast member Pete Davidson started the first half of this season hosting the season premiere, and now, former cast member Kate McKinnon is ending the first half of the season hosting the midseason finale. SNL full circle moment.

[@ivarbrouwer197]

In winter, you have to have a warm cat, warm cat, warm cat! On your lap. (One of Kate’s best rap performances needs to come back!)

[@maredox]

This one's gonna be hilarious ❤ I hope Billie will sing some Christmas song like last year, it was amazing ❤️

[@xoHalley]

I'M SOO EXITED 🙌🏼

[@jovanbrown9673]

I expect some alumni to show up this weekend

[@amandawall8249]

Yay Kate McKinnon with Billie Eilish again feels like just 2 years ago , I like the third announcement !! Billy is already in New York and I have to be ready for Saturday to see all of it I wonder how many videos Billie Eilish will do because last time she did like almost 8 or 9 videos. I wish I could be on Saturday night live and I do want to meet Billie Eilish 1 day !!!❤❤❤
