Let us thank SNL for the amazing duo that is Kate and Billie. Hotel workers and now Cat Ladies, I'm dying 💀

[@INSIDEVIEWOFYOURMOTHER77]

Shits nor even funny.

they are just the best.

[@catherinecrawford2289]

That shitty hotel one still kills me.

[@literallysatan4598]

They definitely paired Kate McKinnon and Billie Eilish together just to have them be in another sketch together and I'm so glad they did!

[@tooclosetokyle]

No shit

[@-pj6ci]

Yes exactly bc in 2021 they were so perfect together !!! Their chemistry is on another level!! ❤️

[@7thsenseeq]

@Elizabeth-pj6ci It's a little sad to say this, but I would trade Billie in for many of the current cast members. She has good timing and cat-ches all the details! I don't mind that she fumbles lines a little and smiles a lot. They seem to fit her characters. You name one other musical guest that has held their own this well in a sketch? Well, I do remember Mick Jagger doing it with Jimmy Fallon. And of course there's Justin Timberlake.

[@nickberkawitz6451]

​@@7thsenseeqYeah Billie has a charisma that is magnetic. She is naturally very entertaining.

[@dbadagna]

“I’m 21 but I feel 40” Felt that in the deepest part of my soul

no they are not. Kate is amazing with everyone. billie is just a mainstream diarrhoea they keep showing onto us

[@spaceface2918]

@hakim dang dude, she did a fine job there. I'm not a Billie enthusiast or anything bit I think that was unnecessary and over the top. I bet you couldn't make people laugh like that

[@eliza6971]

It's genuinely impressive that Billie nailed her line delivery while handling so many animals with such care. You can tell she really wanted to do a good job and it shows in the best possible ways.

[@JacyndaMinor]

Right? She seemed to handle every animal with care too. This is the first time I can remember that they’ve done this sketch with adult cats, which are much more difficult to work with. Also, having a guinea pig on set around all those cats no wonder it was crying the whole time, I’m sure it could sense that it was surrounded by no less than 5 excellent hunters that could and would kill it! lol poor thing, what a wild choice! But Billie did great with it and I was surprised at how well she handled the audio so you could still hear her. Love these two

[@susansage7218]

The Guinea pig was whistling. It’s actually a happy sound. I love the kitty cats and the GP. Great job everyone!

[@violetviolet888]

@eliza6971: No surprise. Billie has a pet blue tarantula in real life.

Mad props for delivering this flawless skit while handling all those kitties. Like dang.

[@benwu7980]

With seeing how often things go wrong with animals when live, it was very impressive. Very well handled too considering the number of changes. Breaking on the guinea pig was hilarious, amazing that can recover so well, but I guess that's partly down to having been performing for what seems like so long.

[@PostTrumpDisorder]

I loved this skit!!! The best was Billie trying to get cat hair out of her mouth.😂❤

[@Mels925]

It’s a privilege to see such an incredible person do so well. And Kate is an insane genius - a once in a generation talent. One of my favorite sketches ever from SNL it combines everything wonderful it can be.
