Kate McKinnon

from Happy Hour with Ina Garten

In the very first episode of Happy Hour with Ina Garten, Ina welcomes Emmy-winning comedian and actor Kate McKinnon to her kitchen table in New York City for a drink and a chat. Kate talks about moving to the woods, gardening, the fine art of pickling, and the time she almost gave up on her SNL audition. Kate has a new book called "The Jungle of Carabanana." Beloved hostess Ina Garten welcomes listeners into her New York City apartment for Happy Hour with Ina Garten. Every Wednesday, she sits down with people she’d like to meet from the worlds of culture, food, art, sports, and entertainment for the kinds of conversations you would love to overhear at a great dinner party. Warm, funny, personal, and often unexpected, Happy Hour mixes in-depth conversation with stories, recipes, and, of course, cocktails. Pull up a chair, pour yourself a drink, and join the conversation.
