Nick takes a hilarious stroll through one of SNL’s most unforgettable Weekend Update staples: The Girl You Wish You Hadn’t Started a Conversation With at a Party. Brought to life by Cecily Strong, the character is a perfect storm of chaotic energy, social cluelessness, and half-formed outrage, all filtered through a haze of phone-checking and wildly misguided opinions.

The episode dives into how this brilliantly jumbled creation came to be, with behind-the-scenes insights from Strong’s record-breaking 11-season run. Nick shares some lesser-known facts about her surprise sketch with Reese Witherspoon, who loved the character enough to crash the party as her equally unfiltered best friend. There’s also a breakdown of The Girl’s most memorable rants on topics like elections, the holidays, and the coronavirus.

You’ll also hear about how Norm Crosby’s old-school malapropisms and the lovable wreck that is Drunk Uncle played into the DNA of the character, even becoming the father of her child. It’s a fun and nostalgic look at one of the greats to ever take the Update desk. [Ep 134]
