My heart is bursting. I have a lot of big huge life changing love to unpack, so this is what I can say tonight 💙
Ten and a half years ago I got my dream job. The first actual work day I tried to be very cool and make it look like I knew what i was doing and I was supposed to be there. I left that night around 11 after saying goodbye to everyone. I got stuck wandering around the building because none of the elevators went to the first floor and I was trying so hard to avoid having to go back upstairs to ask for help because I’d already said goodbye!!! I think I went to every floor trying to figure out if there was another exit I was missing. I might have even gone into a stairwell. I ended up going back upstairs and my soon-to-be great friend Colin Jost helped me out and walked me over to the secret night time elevator. It felt as impossible to leave that night as it does now. And my great friend Colin Jost ended up helping me again, this time by getting Elvis to sing me off (thank you Austin Butler you absolute kind and generous dreamboat). I’m sorry I’ve been a little quiet about it publicly. I didn’t want the extra pressure on something already so emotional for me. And I’m so grateful I got to have these wonderful past six shows to help me ease into it and get to meet and laugh and probably overly hug Molly, Marcello, Devon, and Michael who I think are not only brilliantly funny but really great humans. I am ready to go, but I’ll always know home is here. I’ve had the time of my life working with the greatest people on earth.
Just wanted to share a couple illegal memories that make me laugh a lot. Update written with Bowen and James Anderson, *lightly* based on a legend of stage and screen 😛. Puppetry work by Mikey Day because I asked him to step in figuring he’d make sure to surprise me so I wouldn’t know when he’d start or stop his movements- like a real monkey costar. However, while actually performing it, I realized I had basically asked my friend to feel me up. Sorry about that Mikey. (But Heidi as Aunt Pat last week was way worse so I feel like I’m off the hook). “Best picture goes to La La Land! Better luck next year, homosexuals!”- that line got cut off at the end of the video

I left my fields to sour and my cheese to flower to work with some of the greatest greats ever to make #Schmigadoon! Season 2 #Schmicago! First two episodes are out on @appletvplus Watch every Wednesday because the musical numbers this year are truly truly truly outrageous. Jane and a trapeze. Chenowith and Cumming DUET. Dove Cameron and chair choreography hunny! Tituss and that voice! Those eyes! Killer songs by American sweethearts Aaron, Ariana, Ann, and Jaime and Patrick who refuse to have their name start with an A. Oh and did I mention MARTIN MF SHORT?!? Plus I got to do it all with my favorite partner in crime and button twin and fellow crybaby Keegie Keegs.

You know- I’m not gonna be hired by Ken Burns to curate photos to capture a period of time. And I get it. But here are some important photos for me to really encapsulate these past two weeks. Thank you Kenan, Marty, Steve, Nnamdi, my husband Neymar Jr not afraid to show his emotions for me, Marcello, dancing man, and Blaze.

Thank you @variety for this opportunity to spend an afternoon gushing over @eggyboom. I think we both cried about loving each other at LEAST once during this interview. At one point we both said “I can’t even look at you right now hold on” because it’s emotional to speak about a friendship you love so much and a person you admire and are inspired by for every reason. Ego- you are brilliant and hilarious and kind and a force of a performer. You are also one of the greatest WRITERS I’ve gotten to witness at my time at snl. What an honor to take power couple photos with you ❤️❤️❤️ and thank you to my glam team dream team makeup by @theamyclarke, hair by @dannidoesit, wardrobe by @thegriceisright Link is online somewhere ask chatbot or whatever give me a break I’m 39 which is basically 185 in technology years.

What a great teacher. Lew Palter. Scratched his big giant ears and hit his “k’s” so wet and reminded us often that as the great Bertold Brecht said- “the proof is in the pudding”. Lew directed me in my second favorite play at CalArts- “Anton in Show Business” by Jane Martin with all the other girls who weren’t cast in the big shows our second year. We started out feeling defeated because we weren’t picked for the bigger shows but ended up feeling like we were in the best show of the season because people loved it (and the proof is in the pudding after all). I played a Polish director named Wikewich and I got to scream to the audience how “I fuck you with my art”. Lew told me he thought I should take a class at the Groundlings. I said no way I’m a serious actor. Turns out Lew was right. I took the class at the Groundlings. It brought me back to Chicago to study improv there. Then I ended up auditioning for Lorne Michaels. Thanks Lew. And thanks because for so many years I got to brag that my teacher was the old guy in Titanic that chose to stay in bed. Lew knew how to live life well. How to teach students to be not only better actors but better people. He got to a beautiful 94. The proof is in the pudding.***oh just while I’m here- wanted to make sure to say to you teachers that I’m sorry you’re dealing with a whole lot of weird fake political bullshit that must make it hard to do your job. What you do is incredibly important and you touch our lives in such huge ways. In ways that mean so much that even social media ostriches lift their heads out of the sand for minute ❤️
Playing Nancy Drew in matching pjs. I sure loved episode 5 of #Schmigadoon! and I hope you do too!!! Wednesday’s on @appletv Also Cinco wrote me a song and it meant the world to me to sing it. I hope it becomes an audition song/anthem for all of us out there who were more likely to be cast as the Eulalie’s and not the Marian’s or The Witch’s Double Before The Big Gorgeous Reveal and not the Witch (even though we still eat that ish UP ❤️)
