All Of Kate McKinnon's SNL Characters

Without a doubt McKinnon's most well-known character, Colleen Rafferty is everything Kate McKinnon does best wrapped up into one sketch. Sitting with her legs apart and smoking a cigarette right down to the filter, Rafferty explains, in that coarse, blunt, McKinnon way, her less than ideal alien abduction experience as her friends describe their transcendent close encounters. Showcasing just how funny McKinnon is when she's not doing much at all - she has Ryan Gosling and company laughing throughout the entire sketch - Colleen Rafferty became a fan favorite even before she got dumped on top of that Long John Silver's.

Barbara DeDrew is a very simple carricature of a cat lady, but Kate McKinnon brings all her wierdness to the character as she slurs and smiles her way through this pun-filled sketch. Laughing it up with Kristen Wiig, whose character lost track of her age in a bunker, McKinnon's DeDrew is one of her most popular characters, maybe because of the wig, because of the Wiig, or just because the sketch has a lot of cute kittens.

Whenever Russia is in the news, whether it's during the Sochi Olympics or because of Ukraine, it gives Kate McKinnon a chance to do her best Russian accent and appear as the beleaguered Olya Povlatsky on Weekend Update. In true McKinnon fashion, Olya enjoys shouting (through deranged smiles) about how miserable her life is as those around her try not to laugh. She also dated a dog who was the top lawyer in her village, so that's something.

Debette Goldry is Hollywood royalty, although when she shows up at various film functions and panels with other celebrities, it becomes clear just how ancient, out of touch, and insane she really is. Featuring McKinnon as the most nonsensical, rambling old actress, Goldry defends every horrible practice of Hollywood as the females around her seem shocked at what she had to endure. From being forced to marry a gay chimpanzee to being doped up on opium throughout her career, Goldry is a relic that McKinnon plays with ease.

In the "Last Call" recurring sketches, McKinnon's Sheila Sovage plays a sad and desperate drunk who ends every night hooking up with whoever's left in the bar. Featuring McKinnon's expert physical comedy chops and her trashy deep-voiced charm, Sheila is the typical McKinnon character that SNL fans can't get enough of.

Somebody's mom, Deenie, has watched some of The People v. O.J. Simpson and now she's on Weekend Update to talk about it. But of course, like everyone's mom, she goes off on tangents, doesn't know any character's name, continually talks about how she can't work her TV and is also constantly eating Brussel sprouts and imitation crab.
