17 Times Kate McKinnon Got Us Through 2016

We actually don't deserve her.

1. Every time she talked about her cat.

2. And when she shared this joyful photo of herself and Nino.

3. When she won her first Emmy and her speech was as adorable and perfect as she is.

4. And when she was relatable AF because she couldn't find her Emmy.

5. When she crashed the RNC as Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

6. And when she dropped a patented "Gins-burn."

8. When she did not shy away from her own bodily functions.

9. When she showed off her insane accent skills.

10. When she debuted her Debette Goldry character...

11. ...And made Margot Robbie break character.

12. When she gave us chills with this powerful rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Halleluja."

The emotional SNL cold open came just days after both the passing of Leonard Cohen and the presidential election.

13. When she gave us the gift of the "Hillary shimmy."

14. When she introduced us to a day in the life of Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway.

15. When she executed a perfect Willy Wonka roll as Hillary Clinton, in reference to the media's speculation on her health.

16. When she nailed this hilarious parody of Carol for the Film Independent Spirit Awards.

17. And basically every moment she was on screen in Ghostbusters.

Never change, Kate.
