SNL may have a new comedy queen and her name is Kate McKinnon! The gorgeous comedian took home the Emmy Award for outstanding supporting actress for a comedy and her fans erupted with support on social media. The win is kind of a big deal for McKinnon, as well as Saturday Night Live, considering that the only cast members to every win an Emmy award for their work on the show Chevy Chase, Gilda Radner, Dana Carvey and now, Kate McKinnon. McKinnon’s speech, which she pulled out of her cleavage (we can all relate to that, can’t we?), started with her saying, “I’m really crying, I’m not making that up.” She even thanked Hillary Clinton and Ellen Degeneres in her speech, making us love her even more. Check out some of the best fan reactions on Twitter below.

Kate McKinnon being the first female SNL-er since Gilda to win an Emmy is great but makes me think of all those deserving ladies in between.
