SNL Hall of Fame

Cecily Strong


Listen Later

This week on the SNL Hall of Fame Podcast, we shine the spotlight on one of Saturday Night Live’s most formidable and versatile performers: Cecily Strong. Nominated by our good friend and returning guest Kirstin Rajala, Cecily’s Hall of Fame candidacy is given the deep dive it deserves.

🗣️ Host Bill Kenney leads a compelling conversation with Kirstin, where they explore:

  • Cecily Strong’s Weekend Update characters like The Girl You Wish You Hadn’t Started a Conversation With at a PartyKathy Ann, and the unforgettable Judge Jeanine Pirro
  • Her legacy as a political voice and comedic force, from the powerful Goober the Clown monologue to the emotional Blue Christmas farewell
  • The range and depth she brought to characters like GemmaDonna Fingerneck, and the Ex-Porn Stars sketches
  • Her influence on female-driven pre-tapes like Do It on My Twin Bed and This Is Not a Feminist Song

Meanwhile, jD is joined by Matt Ardill in the Trivia Corner to explore Cecily’s Chicago roots, her breakout on SNL, and her impact across 11 groundbreaking seasons.

🎧 Listen in as we celebrate a triple threat with fierce comedic timing, unmatched character work, and emotional resonance. Whether you laughed at her malapropisms or cried during her clown monologue, Cecily left a Cecily-sized hole in the SNL cast when she left—and this episode is a love letter to everything she brought to Studio 8H.

🗳️ Voting for the SNL Hall of Fame Season 7 Class opens next week!

This year, you get unlimited votes—so make your voice heard and honor the legends who defined Saturday Night Live.
