They licked me back to life, and now it’s just like Sandy from a porno version of ‘Grease’.” KcKinnon then turned on the “Cat Signal,” which attracted Ego Nwodim decked out like Eartha Kitt’s Catwoman from the Adam West-era ‘Batman” TV series. “People called it campy,” Nwodim’s Catwoman said of the series. “Turns out it was just super gay.” Before Kravitz could get the monologue back on track, the Cat Signal also attracted a “Cat Lady,” (Aidy Bryant) and comedian Katt Williams (Chris Redd).
