Former Saturday Night Live cast member Kate McKinnon made her inaugural appearance as host tonight after departing from the NBC sketch comedy show more than a year ago. A highlight of the episode was a parody music video for a folky little ditty titled “Tampon Farm,” featuring fellow SNL alums Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph, musical guest Billie Eilish, and former SNL writer Paula Pell.
