My Take
Cecily Strong became one of those Saturday Night Live performers I'd actively wait for, and there's a reason she ended up the longest-tenured woman in the show's history. Her characters had a sharp, slightly unhinged confidence, and her 'Girl You Wish You Hadn't Started a Conversation With' was a small comic masterpiece. What impressed me more, though, was her range beyond sketch, especially the warmth and surprising vulnerability she brought to Schmigadoon!, which she also co-produced. She's proof that great improv timing can carry real emotional weight, and I think her best dramatic work may still be ahead of her.
