The night was made even more unforgettable with the musical talents of Billie Eilish, marking their apparent first collaboration on the SNL stage.
The comedic highlight of the evening came in the form of a side-splitting sketch where McKinnon and Eilish took on the roles of Kathreen and Kathlyn in an ad for the laughably lackluster hotel, Business Garden Inn and Suites and Hotel Room Inn.

Fans, in particular, lauded McKinnon’s uncanny ability to make her SNL co-stars break character, showcasing her comedic prowess and the infectious fun she brings to the stage.
Surprisingly, the recent collaboration signifies the inaugural partnership between Kate McKinnon and Billie Eilish on the SNL stage. Despite Eilish’s well-established presence as a musical guest, making her third appearance on the show, she demonstrated that her talent extends beyond music, showcasing a remarkable aptitude for sketch comedy.
Despite the lack of specific details on the preparation for their roles, memorable quotes from the performance, and critical reception, the undeniable charm of the sketch beckons fans and curious onlookers to watch the episode or delve into reviews and commentaries for a more in-depth understanding of this comedic masterpiece.
