Fun, Fearless Female

Year of the Dog’s Molly Shannon made her triumphant return to Saturday Night Live on May 12 – as a host, following a six-year absence – and I’m still laughing.

Shannon played three of her most iconic characters – including fan favorites underarm-sniffing Catholic school girl Mary Katherine Gallagher, and 50-year-old limber-limbed Sally O'Malley – during the consistently show. The Sally O’Malley-tries-for-a-spot-at-the-Bada Bing!-of-The Sopranos was particularly hilarious, as Shannon went all the way there: a deep, hard camel toe.

In the words of another of her famous characters, licensed joyologist Helen Madden: I loved it, I loved it, I loved it!
