Kate McKinnon Reads an Imagined Letter to Ellen From Her 13-Year-Old Self

[@heydeanie]

you did that Ellen...you made a couple generations of us feel safer in our own skin...thank you. endlessly proud of both of you!!

[@katerinaverme8432]

This is by far one of the weirdest, most awkward, genuine and funniest interviews I have EVER seen in my life! I’m crying laughing!

[@ELmayberry]

same 😂😂😂

[@shireen2296]

I was about to comment the same thing! 😂🤣

[@kieranwhippy4137]

That's Kate McKinnon for us 😂

[@ameliesayshola8854]

She’s like this in all her interviews it almost feels like she is playing a character 😆

[@mafdapadilla]

Me too

[@corrinvoeller9491]

That was funny and vulnerable and also multi-layered. I’m so happy for them both and wish them all the best.

[@The_IT_Guy_8433]

I love that ellen is laughing because of kate mckinnon and crying for losing her cats at the same time 😂😂.. genuine moment

[@louelsla3070]

My favourite part of this interview 😂 my type of humour lol something that shouldn’t be funny, but is! 😂

[@offthecuff454]

omg exactly!! me too! :D

[@shireen2296]

Yeah, it's one of the most genuinely hilarious and heartfelt moment I've ever seen on the show!

[@---BAM---]

I am silently laughing with my partner sleeps next to me. Hahaha hah

[@cedarwings82]

It would’ve been funny if at the end of the letter after the PS, it would’ve said PPS. How are your cats? I think Ellen would’ve laughed. Lol.

[@indianastarr]

I love the awkward and sincere energy, I teared up a bit, they have a great friendship

[@kyabadudu]

My fave thing about Ellen is her laugh… It’s extremely contagious!! Going to miss her soo much 😭

[@dreamy_souls_]

So true

[@attackdmgcupcakeoce2515]

she's awkward and the complete antithesis of funny.

[@shitface1704]

Ellens fake asf

[@jennifercamille16]

I absolutely love Kate. I'm gonna miss her so much on SNL.

[@annevmuhlethaler]

I love them both. Crying laughing. Beautiful souls.

[@kardastrophy]

if i could write a letter to Kate it would sound a lot like that. she's truly my biggest role model.

[@anieshaaa2614]

It literally made me cry when she read it

[@kardastrophy]

me too.

[@charley.barley]

no because seeing kate cry at all literally makes me bawl my eyes outttt she is to me what ellen was to her and I love her so much ps @holtzy I watch your youtube channel and I love it

[@kardastrophy]

yess i recognize you haha

[@kardastrophy]

@@charley.barley and yes i feel like kate is the ellen of our generation

[@hariseldon2450]

Love the letter, Kate! There are so many girls, looking up to you both, because you are real role models.

[@orc1459]

who in their right mind is looking up to Ellen 🤨

[@adolphesax1982]

@@orc1459 Don't be a homophobe 😒 Ellen DeGeneres has done a lot for the LGTBQIA+ community. Hearing Kate's story is very inspiring.

[@datatsushi2016]

@@adolphesax1982 They're talking about how she treated her staff behind the scenes.

[@dundukas7899]

@@adolphesax1982 you're a clown

[@hariseldon2450]

@@datatsushi2016 No, the video is about Kate sharing her experience, about her feelings being alone with her sexuality. Ellen was, and is, a very important role model for many, in the LGBTQAI+community. Now Kate is a role model for the younger generation. It's not often we get to see her so serious so I guess reading the letter was important to her.

[@Suemack24]

From one Brisbane McKinnon to another, the bird story was fabulous. Wish I could have seen you in town to thank you for the SNL skits that bring so much laughter and joy and so many other shows of your work and talent.

[@jadamson1031]

Kate gets me with every interview 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 She never fails to make me also laugh so hard, I cry.

[@KLbSYNCHRONOUS]

I love that Kate can make Ellen laugh for doing almost nothing...it's the same thing for me. Kristen Wiig does that to me too

[@苏可可-o3m]

"my favourite moment from this show is...maybe right now"🥺so sweet

[@jennyanderson9357]

So heartwarming. These two seem like great friends.

[@kt-df2ww]

Hello greetings beautiful lady 💐 how are you?

I thought I was obsessed with my kitty but Kate takes it to a whole new level and I'm here for it, I love her! ❤

[@filmcrew3531]

Absolutley love Kate, she makes me laugh so hard!

[@JennHolt]

Me, too. If Kate McKinnon is in it, I'll watch it.

[@funkmate1547]

Two legends in a video! My two most favourite comedians!! 💜 I love them soooo much!!!

[@lsaito4670]

Lol I’m glad she’s the voice of Miss Frizzle because she is literally the live action version of her.

[@Jean-tt6on]

OMG I didn't know!!! Yes, she makes an absolute perfect fit!!

[@nickbigd]

That letter is important. It represents so many voices.

[@krazyabtmusic]

This interview has so much chaotic energy, I love McKinnon and am going to miss her on snl

[@minkadallas5045]

I love watching them interact it's always hilarious

[@cherylramdaw7634]

Ellen tries hard to hide her emotions just to keep that smile going but she is human after all, gonna miss her shows , all the best Ellen for ur future endeavors

Nobody wants Ellen to host snl lol

@VXRGO SNL just had their season finale & Ellen plans on dropping off the grid for awhile soooo ... that's unlikely to happen.

[@pavelhristov361]

The moment lovely Kate was saying that slightly boring story about the talents of her cat and Ellen had that look in her eyes - it was only natural that it blew up in that big laugh! This is comedy! Hilarious 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@mindheartgut2832]

Her RBG impressions are my favorite

Funniest women alive & best role models, eyes leaking...if I'd had them & all the others to look up to in the 70s, I wouldn't have waited til way after college to come out bc in early 70s, teacher parents & small college town, noone did 💕💕💕👏👏👏
