SNL returned with a vengeance this weekend, with a season opener featuring Chris Rock and Megan Thee Stallion, as well as Jim Carrey joining the show in a recurring role as Joe Biden.
Amid all the fanfare–not to mention the craziness around the Republican COVID-19 outbreak–one cast member made a silent, powerful statement.Following the “Weekend Update” portion of the show, openly gay cast member Kate McKinnon appeared in costume as the late Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
McKinnon didn’t say anything, nor did anyone else on the show make reference to her appearance. Instead, McKinnon as Ginsberg lay a hand on her chest and bowed her head in respect.Related: Kate McKinnon confirmed to play Carole Baskin in upcoming ‘Joe Exotic’ seriesA graphic.
