Weekend Update Rewind: Girl You Wish You Hadn’t Started a Conversation With (1 of 2)

[@OceanHedgehog]

Cecily is the strongest cast member. She's so versatile, almost never breaks, and is hilarious.

[@LazyIRanch]

Rare occasions she does break, it just makes it funnier and adds to her adorableness!

[@samtrotter7177]

Her breaking with dogs is the best!

[@billyhewitt725]

Oh, she breaks when animals are involved. That's the only time I have noticed

[@PhillyFrank1]

The bits when she randomly pulls out her phone, looks at it, knits her eyebrows, then puts it away -- just perfect. Cecily Strong do totally inhabits this character; I feel like I've met this person at a party.

SNL will never be the same after losing all the best female cast members in 2022!!! Cecily’s farewell (Blue Christmas) was the most moving goodbye I’ve ever seen on the show. And I thought I cried hard when Kate’s Ms. Rafferty finally joined the aliens… seeing Colin surprise her by actually singing and looking at her like their souls are forever bound together by friendship… I’ve never cried harder watching SNL in my life 😢

[@CaptainUrielVentris7]
