Even some of the industry’s best can’t keep it together when it comes to partaking inSaturday Night Live’s hilarious sketches.
Streep, 75, played McKinnon’s mom, Colleen Rafferty Sr., and she entered the scene wearing a Hawaiian shirt and a short gray wig, smoking a cigarette.
“Sorry, my bathroom break took longer than I thought,” Streep said, clearly trying to keep a straight face. “My No.1 turned into a No. 3.”
“Us Rafferty girls, we always attracting the freaks,” theDevil Wears Pradastar said. “For years I thought Colleen’s father was part alien, but turns out he was just uncircumcised.”

“Much like her, I got anInto the Woodssort of situation,” Streep said through stifled giggles, a reference to the2014 musical filmin which she played Witch. “My ex used to say that it was like trying to hack his way through the Black Forest.”

Streep continued to smile through her lines, and when the foursome explained how they exited the aliens’ spaceship, the Oscar-winning actress shared that she lost her pants in the process.
“My pants got snagged on a piece of metal, so they’re gone,” Streep said. “And then as for underwear, underwear-wise, this devil wears nada.”

Streep completely lost it while explaining that she and her daughter landed on top of Phil McDermott on their way back to land.
When Bryant asked who Phil was, Streep cracked up while saying, “He’s a gentleman whose family I bet wished they went with the closed casket funeral.”
