Kate McKinnon shared a tale of alien abduction during a skit for Saturday Night Live this week that tickled Ryan Gosling and several cast members to the point of losing it.
Generally speaking, it is a big no-no to break character and laugh on SNL, but McKinnon’s antics became too much for Gosling and her co-stars.

Here’s how it went down.
After a shot of the Pentagon, viewers were taken to a room where National Security Agency officers Aidy Bryant and Bobby Moynihan are interviewing three victims of “the first verified alien abduction.”
Two (Gosling, Cecily Strong) described beautiful, spiritual encounters, while the the third (Kate McKinnon) explained her bizarre mistreatment.
McKinnon is seen slumped in her chair in a K-Mart blouse and jeans, looking like a hot mess with her disheveled hair, a cigarette in hand, as she shares a series of experiences with the aliens.

McKinnon shares that her abductors were 40 gray guys “with big fat eyes, little mouths, they just stared while I peed in a steel bowl — I don’t think I was dealing with the top brass,” she said, to which Bryant responded, “And how did they instruct you to urinate — was that telepathically?” McKinnon: “Uh, no, no, I woke up and I had to pee like a camel.”.
McKinnon described the aliens’ fascination with her breasts and her rude return to Earth through the roof of a Long John Silver’s.
“I’ve had worse Wednesday nights,” she conceded.
Needless to say, it’s better to see the video for yourself!
Funny, right?
