In Case You Missed It, Kate McKinnon Gave A Powerful Tribute To Ruth Bader Ginsburg On "SNL"

McKinnon paid tribute to the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg at the end of the episode's "Weekend Update" segment.

This past Saturday, Season 46 of SNL premiered and — given the wild news week we just had — they covered a lot of ground.

The episode gave us everything from a presidential debate cold open to a powerful performance by Megan Thee Stallion.

And, in case you missed it, the cast and crew over at SNL also paid tribute to the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died earlier this month.
