This was Kate's 1st full season! She has proved why she deserves to stay on the show since her very first episode.

[@michaelugwueke6312]

Actually this is her 2nd full season. She joined the cast near the end of season 37 and her first full season was the following season (season 38)

“Your Honor May I approach the Exit” 😂😂😂

[@theyearwas1473]

I have court in a week I'm going to try that one

[@angela1serenity]

😂😂😂😂

[@82finesse]

"May I approach the exit?"..lmfao didn't expect that🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@sieekakhan6761]

I remember when Kristen Wiig left the show and Kate McKinnon was introduced, she had haters saying she's boring and her roles are limited cuz she's the typical blond white woman. Now look at her thriving and can impersonate almost anyone ❤

[@billybones1694]

Does impersonating people that nobody knows actually make someone good at impersonations though?

[@user-wz4zw6fq2y]

@@billybones1694 well i believe that she impersonated so many people that everybody knows.

[@oscarphile]

Was this the first time they ever used "Live from New York . . ." as a fake-out? That's pretty damn funny.

[@pronkb000]

There's a McLaughlin Group sketch where John asks them how they start the show. They all say "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night" and get a WROOOOONG! response...which was doubly hilarious because the fakeout actually fooled the house band who started playing, before cutting off and earning an ad-libbed WROOOOONG! from Dana.

[@LochanDas108]

1:32 "I'm looking into knowing when I first knew about it, but I won't know the results of that knowing untill I know for sure." LOL! IMHO - it was great!

[@nancymorrison9978]

This was a preview to Kate's Betsy Devoe impersonation. On point!😂

[@lcephoenix]

"Could you use it in a sentence" - lmao, amazing.

[@onaHDtv]

" could you use that in a sentence?" DEAD

[@ToraydoBull]

She is hilarious! Omg I am dying from laughter here. "Can you use it in a sen' ence" and "The floor is slanted."

[@AkashKumar-iq8wg]

I swear to God the actual congressional hearings are way more nuts

[@domtillman630]

“I believe the floor is slanted” LOL

[@leoelias4395]

LITERALLY how every state is currently addressing on their “plans on reopening” during COVID-19.

[@jaysonoweh2227]

More like when people ask how does the vaccine mandate fix anything

[@dewfall56]

Pretty much how every executive of every company behaves when questioned about something that went terribly wrong.

[@lillien27]

Kate is so talented. So happy she ended up on snl....

[@kurtreber9813]

This must be the only time that line ("Live from New York...!) was interrupted

[@leopardspots2004]

Agreed, I love it when SNL goes meta

[@TheBlarggle]

I forgot when but they did another sketch where a character was in over their head, and they just screamed "LIVE FROM NEW YORK IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT!" but it was in the middle of the show, and the other characters were just like "Um, we already did that."

[@TheBlarggle]

@The Pikachu Brothers Haha, yes.

[@sebastiansimon7557]

And it happened again in the R. Kelly interview.

[@MindHunger]

I think it was interrupted by John Mclaughlin, doing a parody of himself. He interrupted it by shouting "Wrong!".

[@vidyasonavane9602]

Thank God for Kate. It’s a absolute pleasure to watch her act

[@magnussolar]

"could you use it in a se'ence?" XD

[@elizabethconway9666]

I tried to find this by searching ‘snl cold open congress car hearing’ and got it in one shot.

[@wildones9339]

"I don't have those answers in front of me." "Okay then, pass." Betsy Devos???? Is that you????

[@Ethan-yk3hi]

Rosa She even *sounded* like Betsy DeVos

[@OtaGaudencio]

Kate is one of the best American actresses. She's a chameleon!

[@markk7082]

This was more a replay of actual Congressional hearings than a skit lmao

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

Can't understand some of the haters of the new cast,Kate, Taran and Jay are consistently hilarious and the supporting players are sound

[@tamzinnorcott7242]

Kate is so amazing in this!!! This is one of the funniest snl videos

[@aisosaihama]

Can we get Biden's Top 10 pranks please? 😂

[@javierl4782]

I worked for a Chevy dealership,, brand new cars would have recalls before they were unloaded from the 18 wheeler.

[@dielanjames8016]

The dislikes are GM management

[@BonoLightier]

KATE IS SO AMAZING!!!

[@jamesl9371]

Imagine if instead of bailing out GM they had made it a workers cooperative? The big profits should go to the workers and not to the corrupt executives

[@mickeysmyspiritanimal223]

Kate reminds me of the Secretary of Education, BETSY DeVos Her accent, too!🤣😂🤣 Betsy DeVos

[@CJinSD1]

I didn't realize SNL was still a comedy show only seven years ago!

[@Emjay_1922]

Still one of my favorite sketches 😄

[@AnnaChase]

This is hilarious....4 years ago how she's answering was unusual....now this is the norm in government

[@ronaldmharrison7137]

True.

[@ImperativeGames]

It gets worse every year. Just 11 days ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKq2iGmpe85je5Y

[@victorstalnaker1604]

This wouldn't have been that unusual. This is how things have been for a long time.

[@yungdoenewcali4943]

That part 😄

[@lilacdoe7945]

This was depressingly realistic, very good.

[@massimosquecco8956]

Masterpiece! Kate for President of the USA, she already knows how to respond to any question/society problem

[@82finesse]

LMFAO...😳Were looking into that🤣😂🤣😂🤦🏾‍♂️

[@fredzag2452]

I heard tell the never fixed the ignition switch, they changed the switches part number. Great funny skit.

[@chefvordavask3483]

Why link videos at the end if all of them arent available in my country lol

[@rickypoon6406]

Lol Betsy deVoss has learned...

[@colettezatlyn8051]

This is even funnier after the other Barr evading congressional questions.

[@MindHunger]

I used to work with G.M. corporate in the midwest. Let me tell you, I wouldn't believe them if they told me water was wet and I will never buy a G.M. car.

[@prone2blisters]

I personally don't care what you did, where you did it, and what you would not do in any specific situation.

[@MindHunger]

But P2B, your opinion is so important to me... NOT!!!!

[@prone2blisters]

You can explain your stances, rather than blurt them out. My comment was a satire of a counter argument against a position you never established. I wouldn't have to explain this to you if it didn't go right over your head.

[@MindHunger]

I'm sorry if I confused you. My response was a satire of your response against an argument you didn't understand. If this still isn't clear to you, then maybe you should step away before you embarrass yourself any further.

[@prone2blisters]

Apparently my opinion is important to you if you're willing to plagiarize my last comment. You know you love me.. just admit it.

[@jaysonoweh2227]

The humor leaves once you realize this is what happens when companies get in trouble. Nothing

[@orchdork775]

2:41 his head looks photoshopped on 😂

[@scottizzo9058]

So this is where Bob Mueller got his 'it's not in my purview' deflection'!!!

[@mathewclark1407]

[@ColonelBanana]

Just. Lmao

[@makoetlanekarabo7444]

Kate is so funny

[@macbuff81]

perfect representation of corporate cowardness :)

[@sentaukrai]

Not the worst congressional hearing I've seen.

[@jkm4645]

Lol now I see where Bob Mueller learned how to testify.

[@MaximRecoil]

Kate McKinnon sounds like she's channeling Nora Dunn in this skit.

[@abbymorrison6857]

Dang Kate rolled up the bench real quick

[@user-wz4zw6fq2y]

-I guess i'm just gonna say Live from New------ -NO!no!no!no! the disappointed look on Kate’s cute face hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Just like the real congress !

[@danielovercash1093]

Sounds like Zuckerberg

[@MrProTechHD]

VW''s executive is in Jail here in the U.S for the whole emissions thing in Germany,but why does this ceo gets to walk free?

[@dewfall56]

Because big companies own the American congresspeople. Every congressperson is owned by at least one corporation. And corporations will lend the congresspeople they own to other corporations.

[@MrDino1953]

Because the floor is slanted.

[@davebb36]

Accurate......... very

[@fancyf33t295]

Did they just get meta on me?!?!

[@KingRabid]

i swear the guy back right of kate looks so close to john goodman i cant stop looking and squinting..

Exactly what her tenure has been like.

[@jamesl9371]

The government should have made GM a cooperative when they bailed them out in 2009. Next time please!

[@ailicullens387]

I love snl and I think it is funny but this went way to far. This skit does not account for the fact that Mary did not want to cause any more trouble by saying things that were not true. She said these things because she did not have honest facts to share at the time. This woman has changed business for many young women and girls around the world and snl does not have a right to make fun of her like this. Come on snl 😭😡
