, brought to viewers by one of the newer additions to the cast. Molly Kearney, who has the distinction of being the long-running NBC comedy sketch show’s first nonbinary cast member, literally dropped in on the Weekend Update segment on Saturday in a flying harness, to discuss the issues facing trans kids in the US. “This harness is pretty tight,” Kearney, who uses they/them pronouns, told Weekend Update co-anchor Michael Che after they landed in a chair at the newsdesk.
’” “If you don’t care about trans kids’ lives, that means you don’t care about freakin’ kids’ lives,” they added. Kearney then joked about how they were strung up on the harness waiting to appear on Weekend Update for “longer than I would have liked,” before a quip about their choice of pronouns. “At one point I heard a crew guy say, ‘Is she gonna die up there?’ And then another crew guy was like, ’ You mean, are they going to die up there?’” Kearney continued.
