We knew she was good, but this is another level.
Kate McKinnon is obviously a comedy genius, 'Saturday Night Live' is proof of that, but we had no idea she could do such a flawless impression of Israeli actress Gal Gadot. She imitated her (flatteringly) during her appeared on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon'.

Kate reflected on working with the 'Wonder Woman' star earlier this year on 'Saturday Night Live', where she appeared as the guest host. In her mind, 32-year-old Gal was as much the goddess as she appeared on the big screen.
'Gal Gadot, wow. She's like... not that special, right? I'm kidding!' She told Jimmy. 'She really made an impact down at 'SNL'. I was with Aidy Bryant and we just had a bunch of stuff to do with her that week so we talked to her a lot and we were just like, 'Ok, now we know that we're Midwestern toads compared to this Mediterranean goddess'. Everything she says is like a prophecy.'
As an example, Kate did an impression of Gal talking about her hobbies, putting on Gal's sultry Israeli accent, her fingers casually resting on her temple in imitation. 'I love to go to the beach, I love to paddle-board, I love to watch my children run on the sand', she said.
Kate than recalled a story of when the cast and crew of 'SNL' took Gal out for dinner ahead of the show, and Gal had a great idea about how to break the ice.
'She sat down and she was like, 'I want everyone to go round the table and say something thaty've never told anyone'', Kate recalled, adding that even notoriously serious show creator Lorne Michaels got involved. The comedian says they were all left 'transfixed' by the actress.
