Kate and Julie's Big Gay Vlog: Episode 1

This is the first of a new weekly vlog from Kate McKinnon and Julie Goldman about The Big Gay Sketch Show, their sketch comedy show currently airing on Logo, AfterEllen.com's parent company. (If you're not familiar with the show, check out the lesbian bar skit from the season opener — it's very wrist-cuffy.)

In this vlog episode, Kate and Julie explain how you can help them avoid the unemployment line, discuss an upcoming Oprah and Gayle skit that got a little out of hand, and ask for your questions and comments.

    Kate McKinnon ...

    You are hot.

    Best Sally Field impersonation I think i've ever seen. Not that I've seen many, mind you. But still. A-mazing.

    Julie Goldman ....

    I won't let your pets, die. I promise. My GF and I watch and watch and watch and laugh and laugh and laugh. I will say, that I miss Sappho's Lips.

    Dimples

    Wow Kate, I didn't realize your dimples were that serious...they are adorable. I still think back fondly to that Celesbian Interview where you got your ear nibbled...good times.
    Juli, thank you for all those important moments in my life.
    Looking forward to future VLOGS!

    i know

    i totally thought the same thing, her dimples are adorable, she seriously gets cuter everytime she speaks
    Gallium's picture

    Super Cute

    I never realised she had dimples either, she looks super cute when smiling
    7Up's picture

    Hilarious

    I hope they keep the show going, it really is hilarious. I always watch whenever it happens to be on and I happen to turn on the tube... I'm rarely the sort to sit down in front of the TV each time there's a new episode of anything.... I guess I'm too flow, or busy.

     

    Also Logo's Website is a real let down, though I love the channel, but I have a 3 year old Mac (pre-intel) and I can't watch vids on their site.

    gypsy80's picture

    Oh Yeah!!!!

    This is gonna be great having these two doing a vlog. This website keeps getting better and better!!!!!!!!

    *jumps up and down*

    Yay Kate and Julie! I love you two! I'm in love with the big gay sketch show.

    Ok first things first, these vlogs must be longer. Anything shorter then 10 minutes is cruel. Cruel I tell you! I will give 10 whole dollars *mumbles in change* if you bump them up to 20 minutes. It's alot of money, I know but you two are worth it.

    Secondly, I fucking LOVE Fitzwilliam. When I saw that sketch the first time I damn near wet myself laughing. *sighs* I love that little "girl" and her unicorn.

    Third thing, logo needs to put more of your sketches on youtube or something so I can to share the love in my blogs. I put up the lesbian phone sex sketch and my friends demanded more. I also have the Nina Hartley interview up on my mspace page. Best Interview Evah!

    I can't think of forth thing.....hmmmm. Oh the Oprah and Gayle sketch was hilarious! As was the Chicago style Pilates. Na-masty Bitches! I loved me some Tranny Hookers. So sweet and peaceful they are.

    Julie, I love how committed you are when youre playing a character. The therapy session sketch with the vomit was so wrong.

     

    katie232's picture

    YES!

    This is going to be a genius blog! You guys are too hilarius together! My question would be do you guys hang out together? It seems like you're so in sync.
    Model_through_it's picture

    Sweet pancake loving jeebus!

    I'm so excited that you two have got a weekly vlog! I jump up and down like a silly little school girl everytime I get an e-mail telling me the latest episode of TBGSS is ready to download on iTunes.

    Julie, I absolutely LOVE your Natalie the Facts of Life skit, I'm so overwhelmed with love that I just have to EAT!

    Kate, I <3 Fitzwilliam, and if (jeebus forbid) you don't get a third season LOGO at least needs to give Fitzwilliam a first rate vagina.

    I so need to start watching this show.

     

    Kate, I love you. You're adorable. Good thing we'll actually get to see you on a weekly basis, instead of just hearing you type on your Apple laptop.

     

    sarahef's picture

    Squuuuueeee.

    *thinks of questions while babbling*

    Iiiit's Kate!!!!

    And Julie, <3 <3.

    It's KATE!!!

    Okay, so it's totally cliche...but when you guys were growing up, what did you want to be?

     

     

     

     

     

     

    ...and all was well, and the world smiled.

    Shanbot's picture

    Perfection

    Is what this vlog will be.

    I can't get enough of you two!!!

    Okay, the question I have is will Kate's character, Fitzwilliam

    ever have a run-in with Jojo?!

    Somebody in the big gay sketch show boardroom needs to make that happen.

    I am definitly looking forward to this vlog. :]

    you two literally have

    you two literally have comedy running through your veins- genius,,, genius i tell you!

    Looking forward to the next vlog (and i'll have to think of a couple of questions)

    boundtostone's picture

    priceless.

    yes, this is priceless.

     

    and completely AWESOME!! Julie and Kate rock my socks! And now they're on a vlog camera together! Although, I do hope Kate continues her fake typing... she's very skilled.

     

    <3!

    Automatically my new favorite vlog!

    I'm so happy you guys have a vlog--Celesbian Interviews is my favorite thing ever.

    Kate and Julie = the gay(er?) French and Saunders

    Stellar, I was not expecting this!

    audurem's picture

    !!!

    I've had the worst week, would you believe that those four minutes just made it better? What a great surprise!

    Kate - I'd just like to let you know that you've influenced my fashion choices a LOT lately. Also, the fact that you have such AMAZING dimples just made me giggle a little. Oh, my.

    Can't be of any help with your employment, unfortunately. We're a little behind over here, and can't buy anything off of itunes. Maybe someday.

    chefgirl's picture

    it's official...

    ...i'm a little bit in love with the two of you...

     

    and now a weekly dose? tis too cool for words...

     

    question: are either one of you travelling and doing any stand-up?

    peeking's picture

    What could be better than

    What could be better than Kate and Julie speaking extemporaneously into a flip cam!  That was a big word, and I tried real hard to use it properly!  I don't have a question, but I could put all my sentences in the form of a question?  Like how much do I love you?  And why is life such a byotch that women of your caliber have to collect unemployment?  How much does this make me ill?  how much do I want to toss a success grenade which will spread a shrapnel of falling Benjamins all around you?

    My Questions

    First of all, you two are very funny and great together.  I look forward to seeing the future of this vlog. 

    1. Has there ever been a moment on the show where you thought a particular joke or gag crossed a line for you?  If so what was the moment and the outcome?

    2.  What made you guys want to be comics?  Was there a particular person or event that greatly influenced you in that regard?

    3. How does being gay affect your personal comedy styles and your jobs as comedians?

    lindsay67's picture

    How awesome

    is this?  I love when iTunes "tells" me I have a new episode of BGSS to download.  I loved the therapy/vomit sketch.  It was wrong, but so hilarious.  Thanks for making this season even better than last!  With all these awesome vlogs on AE, who needs tv?
    bizarre's picture

    These two have such great

    These two have such great on-screen comedic chemistry, just seeing them together is enough to get you in the mood for even the most outrageous comedy.

    I'll definitely be purchasing the TBGSS seasons on iTunes.

    Thank you for this very special moment of my life :)

    Question!

    Kate--could you possibly reveal to the world what Nina Hartley did to your ear?  (Aside from that being really funny, it would be...uh...useful information.  For world domination and such, disabling people one ear at a time.)  You guys are great--thanks!
    tantan's picture

    Followup Question

    Dimples McKinnon, what I'm dying to know is...did anything else happen after the interview?
    StephGway's picture

    I'm so happy to see your faces

    on here again! What? They're good faces...annnd hilarity frequently spews from them. Also, I have to agree with the comments about Kate's Sally Field/Boniva ad. Brilliant. I would love to see Sally Field worked into some more skits. That impersonation is Amazing. So good.

    I'm also a big fan of Julie's, so I'll I'll definitely be purchasing the TBGSS seasons on iTunes as well to help feed her pets, in return for the laughter she brings me.

    carolinagrrrl's picture

    omg! improv?

    I don't think you have any idea how excited I got when I clicked over to AfterEllen and saw your two faces! Cannot wait to see you discuss The Big Gay Sketch Show!

    My question: How much, if any, of the stuff on your shows is improvised? Can you give specific examples of skits that have included some improv?

    Thanks!!

    Fabulous!

    This will be awesome!!!

    I totally loved the "which one" sketch in the lesbian bar. I also loved the lesbian speed dating skit in season one. The Facts of Life parodies are hilarious!!!!! I so can't wait for more celesbian interviews!!!!

    allamericangirl's picture

    I hope Logo counts On Demand too.

    I hear you and went to Comcast on demand to watch the new episodes that I missed.

    Kate's reaction to Nina Hartley nibbling on her ear is the funniest (and most informational) thing I have seen in months. This website is getting some great content and I'm glad you two got a new vlog.

    And Kate you must have placed yourself perfectly to show off those dimples. Very endearing.

    Julie, I'm middle aged too and have my dream job. Hang in there. I was unemployed five years ago.

    Demon Kitty's picture

    I Bought Nina Hartley's Book

    You guys are the only thing that is keeping me sane since I've gone back to school for the 4 fucking time!!!!

     

    I know what it is like to be unemployed with pets. I will buy the Sketch Show on DVD!

     

    Kisses! xxxx00000xxxxxooooooo

    yay!

    You two are hilarious!  My favs on BGSS.

    The lesbian bar scene in ep 1 was the greatest thing ever! :)

    Kate...the faces you make are adorable ;)

    PS

    Fitzwilliam and Sappho's Lips are the best!

    Are Sappho's Lips coming back???

    charbonneau's picture

    How Much Better Can It Get?

    Wow! Thanx for adding these two wunderkind to all the other amazing vloggers on AE! For those living outside the US who don't get Logo, this is MUCH better than YouTube clips.

    Don't tell my girlfriend,

    Don't tell my girlfriend, but I have a massive crush on you both.

     

    So Sappho's Lips...can we get a little more or that? Can we buy/steal the songs from somewhere? That's one sexy lesbo duo..and they need to be heard. By me.

    Ok now that I've both

    Ok now that I've both recovered from fainting at the sight of a Julie and Kate vlog, then watched and recovered yet again from fainting, then watched again...this time somehow being able to not faint ( I did however scream a few times and my neighbors are really angry since its after midnight) I must say I CAN'T WAIT TIL NEXT WEEK>>>>>>>>I <3 Kate....and Julie...and Julie+Kate= comedic genius!!

    Finally, SNL for the REST OF US

    Ladies (and I do use that term loosely!)

    LOVE LOVE LOVE your show (thank you iTunes!) From Fitzwilliam to SuperLiza to Elaine Stitch, the scriptwriting if smart, fresh and oh so funny! And, I am SO LOOKING FORWARD to Paula Deen (I've always had a thing for older women -- just ask my partner!)

    Thanks for the creative genius, and looking forward to many more seasons!

    Mephistofilly's picture

    Sapphos Lips need to sing

    Bring back Sappho's Lips!  Maybe they can sing about all the annoying healthy food, not to mention body hair (which I am mentioning here in a positive non judging way) forced on us at music festivals? Maybe?  ...please?  :)

     love this show!  

    (Note: I am available at a moments notice to make out with Juile Goldman , I mean Super Liza, if needed or to be a stand in for the making out parts in future shows or the practice making out person or the applying making out lip gloss practice person.) 

    starletjen's picture

    YAY!

    I went onto AfterEllen expecting to have to watch the same Celesbian Interviews I have seen 100 times just to get my Kate and Julie (but mostly just Kate) fix for the day and I saw this. And I will admit, I screamed. Out loud. Little bit. Yep. Not ashamed.
    I'm a happy girl.
