One of Saturday Night Live’s most unsung heroes is back on NBC as Ana Gasteyer heads up the cast of American Auto, playing the newly-installed CEO of a failing Detroit automaker who’s sent in to help turn things around, despite not actually knowing anything about cars. The new workplace comedy from Superstore creator Justin Spitzer has earned Gasteyer rave reviews (https://variety.com/2021/tv/reviews/ana-gasteyer-american-auto-review-1235129952/) and got us remembering some of our favorite sketches from her stellar run as a cast member on SNL from 1996 to 2002.
Overlapping with the likes of Will Ferrell, Darrell Hammond, Norm Macdonald, Molly Shannon, Tina Fey, Jimmy Fallon, and David Spade, Gasteyer created a long list of memorable characters that includes high school music teacher Bobbie Mohan-Culp, feminist comic Cinder Calhoun, and, of course, Margaret Jo McCullen, the host of fictional National Public Radio show Delicious Dish. She was also known for her fabulous spot-on impressions of everyone from Martha Stewart to Celine Dion.
