Kate joined the cast of Saturday Night Live during the 18th episode of Season 37, hosted by Sofia Vergara and with musical guest One Direction.
During Kate’s first episode, she appeared on her first SNL sketch as Penelope Cruz, which was also the impression she did on her audition for the show.
Kate joined the show during the last five episodes, which is unusual for SNL. It was also Kristen Wiig’s last season.
