I completely agree with you when it comes to Kate Mckinnon, however with just the sheer number of times that he’s been on the show I am counting Adam Driver as a Cast member at this point. And with that I say he is my favorite, he hosted it this week and the one about the plane is really good, I’d recommend you go watch it.
I also put Kate Mckinnon in my top, she’s so funny. Also, I don’t know if you ever seen it, but I really like her movie Rough Night. It was a chaotic movie I watched with my older sisters, but it was interesting.
