Actress/comedian Molly Shannon is one of funniest performers on television, film and stage. She is primarily known for her six year run on Saturday Night Live, where she created some of the most unforgettable characters like Sally O’Malley (“I’m 50!”), Joyologist Helen Madden, and of course Mary Katherine Gallagher along with hysterical impersonations of Courtney Love, Ann Miller and Monica Lewinsky.

While many former cast members go on to blockbuster comedy success, fewer have sought out — and secured — serious acting careers. Molly Shannon has proven herself to be an excellent and skilled dramatic actress, along with her talent for comedy (and for Voice-Overs, of which she has contributed to many animated films and TV shows).

Molly Shannon has had an incredible stage, television and film career outside of SNL and I wanted to honor her work through this segment.
