Â
10. It's pretty safe to say Ellen DeGeneres was the queen of everything, but then Kate McKinnon became her, so clearly our facts are in line here.Â
Â
9. "Well, Ellen's not the queen of everything - that's Hillary Clinton! " you might interject. Well, guess what America?!
Â
8. She's not only an amazing comedian but an amazing human, and according to this lengthy interview about building things and bathing cats, an amazing lesbian.Â
Â
7. Because for many reasons, including this Justin Bieber Calvin Klein ad parody, SNL is #blessed by her presence.
Â
6. She makes even SNL's strangest, almost nonsensical sketches cause us to experience the literal meaning of LOL.Â
Â
5. Is it possible Olya Povlatsky is Weekend Update's best guest? It's actually impossible that she isn't.Â
Â
4. Even before SNL, we knew Kate McKinnon was a magical unicorn when we saw her play Fitzwilliam, a young British child on the quest for a first-rate vagina, on The Big Gay Sketch Show.
Â
3. Because every addition of "Whiskers R' We" is gay comedy gold.Â
Â
2. She starred as Cate Blanchett in a Carol parody that is so good we're still in tears about it. Also, the fact this literally happened at all makes life just a little better.Â
Â
1. There is actually nothing she can't do. She can do everything. Or, hey, she can definitely do impressions, but she can also probably do everything.
Â
Okay world, now that you know Kate McKinnon, be sure to cherish her forever - and see Ghostbusters in theaters this week!
