Kate McKinnon Transforms into a Horrific Sea Creature in Under Three Minutes – SNL

Saturday Night Live is getting its best ratings in years thanks largely in part to Alec Baldwin‘s continued impression of Donald Trump, but this is not it. The show has been running smoothly for over forty years now, it’s easy to take for granted how difficult it must be to transition between scenes just in the time it takes for one commercial break to air.

SNL has released an incredible video timelapse of star Kate McKinnon going from performing Jeff Sessions to playing a mermaid named Shud in that span, and it’s remarkable how swiftly the makeup team completely transform her look in just about four minutes.
