I’ve always thought she did a great job on SNL. It’ll be interesting to see if she gets her new character on this week.
Great Scott, Cecily!
Loved this catch-up with Cecily. Her “Goober the Clown” character on Weekend Update is one of the most powerful segments in the show’s half-century run.
I liked when she sang on the show, she has a nice singing voice.
She was the best. Luv her even more than Wiig and that’s saying a lot
Go girl I'm behind you
Drop the background music; it makes it seem like this is a clip that's going to wrap up in the next five seconds.
Love Cecily Strong
Why do i have a feeling that the interviewer’s accent is fake..
Very happy for her, she made a huge contribution to SNL
Kristen, Kate, Tina, and on, all had amazing individual talents and what they brought to the show. But Cecily was the most overall talented performer SNL ever had! Her singing voice, her impressions, multiple languages, from drama to comedy, everything!
Love Cecily! I'm so happy she gets to be a mom.
