episode 5037: Cecily Strong On 'SNL,' 'Schmigadoon,' And Her New Memoir
Strong is nominated for an Emmy for 'Saturday Night Live.' She also stars in the new show 'Schmigadoon,' about a couple that ends up trapped in a town where life is a musical and the townspeople frequently burst into song. Her new memoir is about the depression, anxiety, and grief she experienced during the first months of the pandemic. "I just kept thinking, all the work I've done on myself with anxiety, I'm going to lose it all because of this," she says.
Also, Ken Tucker reviews a new posthumously released Prince album.
