Actress Kate McKinnon was a recent guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show where she opened up her recent trip to the 77th annual Golden Globe Awards. McKinnon, who took her older sister Emily Lynne Berthold, was particularly horrified by her awkward encounter with JAY-Z and Beyoncé.
“I mean the table that we were at — well you’re there and you are to me, everything,” McKinnon said. “And then Portia [de Rossi], everything. And then we had Carol Burnett, you know, American legend. And then there was also Beyoncé and JAY-Z at the table, which, I mean, they’re the king and queen of America, they were unbelievably gracious.” [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Ahead of the event, she and Berthold tried to figure out how to play it cool around the famous couple.
“But my sister and I found out we were gonna be at their table and started panicking and making a list, ‘Well what do we say? We live in one bedroom apartments in New York City,” she continued. “What can we say? Do you use Hello Fresh? What kind of milk do you like to drink?’”
When it came down to it, she panicked and fumbled their encounter.
“So my sister went right over and had balls of steel and Beyoncé was so nice and I was just such a, I just pretended I had something on my pants,” she added. “So I blew it. I blew it.”
The Golden Globe Awards were held the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles on Sunday (January 5).
Its embarrassing how much we fawn of celebs. Rly is.. she should be embarrassed to represent herself like this
shut the fuck up friend, you’d probably act the exact same. Or you would be the quiet weirdo who is “too cool” to say anything.
Ive met a few and i acted to them how i do normal ppl. Hand shake and a normal talk. U mf dick riders are some extra groupie weirdos.
Lol wtf? U really think a grown man meeting Jay or Bey would act like a teenage girl meeting Justin Bieber? The fuck? No, we wouldn’t act that way lol. U idolize these ppl wayyy too much.
They two people just like you and I. Stop the celebrity idol worship.
King and queen of America? Cmon man lol… That’d just ridiculous. They are music makers, and nothing more. They haven’t done anything to better the world. They are only married for monetary purposes. Sold out to, and created by Hollywood. I mean, u gonna tell me the “king of America” does free shows to get attendance at Hillary Clinton rallies haha? Not to mention, her husband President Bill Clinton supported the 90s crime bill, which locked up more black Americans than at any other point in American history.
Boy you’re ignorant! They’re also philanthropist and business owners far beyond music. They’re not king and queen but you’re comment about music makers and nothing more is just inaccurate and blatant because there’s no way you’re that unaware.
That nigga Jigga looking like the gollywog from the jam jars back in the day with that muggy hair!!!
king and queen of nyc eh.
Y’all hate everything lol. Why can’t the white lady just be a fan?
