Pour Some Marshmallow On Me

.
The role is somewhat different according to their description of it but DH has word that SNL's Cecily Strong is wanted for what amounts to the "William Atherton role" in the Lady Ghostbusters reboot. She'd play a government figure that's dealing with the 'Busters. I love Cecily Strong! I was just yammering at my boyfriend the other day about how Cecily can always be counted on to know her lines on SNL, which may sound like small praise but the percentage of folks you see staring at cue-cards makes you realize it ain't. She is giving it her all at all times. I think in the current cast she's terribly under-rated - even I'm guilty of going on and on about Kate McKinnon or Aidy Bryant (or Taran Killam's bulge) and leaving poor Cecily in the cold. She's responsible for one of my favorite skits in recent years - a dog food commercial slash mental breakdown that must be seen at least on a weekly basis (I have it on my iPad at all times, just in case the mood strikes me).
