What was pat from snl

I need to understand what the apology really is. Is it that I should have known then not to do a character like that? In a recent interview with The Seattle Times, Sweeney said she is older, wiser and knows that the culture has changed. It was somebody accidentally looking androgynous. So what critics are really objecting to is that she has made an androgynous character who is unattractive , and people are conflating the two.

McEnany and Sweeney were both there working on one-woman shows and got together for a scene in which McEnany confronts Sweeney about Pat. The exchange became part of the pilot, which was filmed, screened at Sundance and bought by Showtime. Sweeney said Work in Progress , which kicked off its second season last Sunday, continues to give her a way to work through her feelings about having played Pat. It's been great, which is what good art, I think, is. I think it's not one thing. And so it's been a great joy for me, actually.

Christine Zander, who wrote all the sketches with me at Saturday Night Live — we made a pact at the very beginning that we weren't making fun of androgynous people.

We were gonna make fun of Pat being weird. And we would have laughs off that. I'm proud of that work. You don't often have a character hit the public consciousness and become part of pop culture. And I'm happy about that. First of all, ohmygod I'm so for androgynous people. Our society is way too stratified. Girls try to be too girly. I don't like women who wear a ton of makeup and put their breasts on display. And I struggle with that, even with people in the trans community who are doing that.

It reflects a patriarchy and the stratification of our society and all kinds of stuff about our society that I don't like. I think this especially after the high fertility years. I live in Hollywood, and you see these beautiful blondes with the tiny waist, and they turn around, and they're 80 years old. Same for men, dyeing their hair and trying so hard to accentuate their masculinity way beyond the years they should be doing it.

Once you're over the hump, you're like Casper the Friendly Ghost, and you walk around, no one pays attention to you. You are invisible. That has some negative things with it. But 95 percent is fantastic: I get to see the world as a movie, and I just get to watch it. She is having a reckoning with her character, although not sure she wants to apologize.
