In her Golden Globes introduction of Ellen DeGeneres, 'SNL' star Kate McKinnon talked about how the TV host blazed a trail for her and LGBTQ actors.
A new decade has arrived, and with it, another awards season has hit Los Angeles.
“In 1997, when Ellen’s sitcom was at the height of its popularity, I was in my mother’s basement lifting weights in front of the mirror and thinking, ‘Am I gay?’ And I was. And I still am. That’s a very scary thing to suddenly know about yourself. It’s sort of like doing ’23 and Me’ and discovering that you have alien DNA, and the only thing that made it less scary was seeing Ellen on TV,” McKinnon said.
“So thank you, Ellen, for giving me a shot and a good life, and thank you also for the sweater with the picture of the baby goat on it.”
