Kate McKinnon as RBG on SNL. Photo: Saturday Night Live/NBC On September 18, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died at the age of 87, leaving behind an impressive legacy of civil-rights work. Ginsburg was a living symbol of feminism and tenacity, and over the past few years, “Notorious RBG” iconography became ubiquitous, and Ginsburg’s life and work inspired both the RBG documentary and On the Basis of Sex, a 2018 biopic.
McKinnon played RBG as an extremely tiny woman with a massive attitude and unerringly correct opinions, the sort of person you’d want on your side in a civil-rights case or in a back-alley knife fight. She grinded on Colin Jost, made fanciful jokes about being the size of a horsefly, and shot down the Republicans with brilliant one-liners, or “Gins-burns.
Ginsburg herself quite enjoyed McKinnon’s spirited characterization of her, saying in 2018 that “I liked the actress who portrayed me,” and “I would like to say ‘Gins-burn!’ sometimes to my colleagues.” The two finally met in the summer of 2019, at Joel Grey’s Off Broadway production of Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish. Here are McKinnon’s best moments as Ruth Bader Ginsburg on SNL.
