TriviaEdit

  • The dog seen with her during the Season 40's opening credits (also used for Season 41 and Season 42) is actually her dog Lucy. Her original credits for Season 43 did not include Lucy, but she was added back in in later episodes.
  • She hosted the White House Correspondents Dinner in 2015.
  • A home video of her at age 13 was shown during one of the SNL Mothers Day monologues
  • Her mother appeared on the SNL Mothers Day monologue 2015
  • A new opening credits sequence for announcing the actors was taped before season 44. During the premiere episode, the announcement of Cecily Strong's name was accidentally omitted, her "cast clip" was silently shown, and then followed by the announcement of "Kyle Mooney", however this error was fixed by the next episode.
