In The Envelope: An Awards Podcast

Like many of today’s hardworking actor-writer-comedians, Cecily Strong knows how to give the exact creative advice that aspiring artists need to hear. The longtime “Saturday Night Live” cast member has thoughts on telling inclusive stories in Hollywood today, being in the moment on set, and embracing the ups and downs of the biz. “How easy is it to just feel bad about yourself and just feel so beaten up?” she points out. “Keep your chin up and know that your path may look different—your path should look different.” Raised in Chicago and a student of theater before comedy, Cecily has been Emmy Award–nominated two years in a row for helping make NBC’s “SNL” must-see TV. A scene stealer in “Ghostbusters,” “The Boss,” and many animated and sketch series, Cecily is now paying homage to classic movie musicals as producer and star of Apple TV+’s new original musical series from Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio, “Schmigadoon!” Tune in also for a recap of the 2021 Emmy nominations, and read up on them here: https://bit.ly/
