Watch: 'SNL's Out Player Kate McKinnon Nails Ellen DeGeneres

Watch: 'SNL's Out Player Kate McKinnon Nails Ellen DeGeneres

Not only is Kate McKinnon the next big thing to happen for women on Saturday Night Live since Kristen Wiig's departure, but she's also the show's first-ever gay lady! Since McKinnon's debut last April she's been the cast member to watch, even if she's still just a featured player and not a full-on cast member yet. She's done killer impressions of Penelope Cruz, Ann Romney and the old Spanish who defaced a fresco that have put her smack on SNL fans' radars.

A few weeks ago we got a taste of McKinnon's killer Ellen DeGeneres impression when she appeared as Ellen among a series of unlikely "Bond" girls, but this week McKinnon got her own skit of The Ellen DeGeneres Show complete with host Anne Hathaway reprising a hilarious Katie Holmes impression. 

Watch Kate in action below!
