SNL Star Kate McKinnon's Hilarious Ax-Breaking Mishap

In a humorous incident that occurred last month, former Saturday Night Live cast member Kate McKinnon found herself locked out of her home in the woods. At the time, McKinnon was cooking dinner with a sauce on the open flame when she stepped outside to retrieve a sprig of thyme from her garden. To her dismay, the door locked behind her, trapping her cat inside and leaving her without her phone or a spare key.

Faced with this predicament, McKinnon decided to take matters into her own hands. She grabbed an ax and attempted to break down the glass front door of her home. However, the comedienne quickly discovered that shattering glass is much more difficult in real life than it appears in movies. "It was mostly a glass door, and I had an ax, and it was like there was a blanket in this thing," McKinnon recounted. "It was like this glass is designed not to break or something like that."

After a messy and "anticlimactic" ordeal, McKinnon was finally able to push the sheet of glass out and make her way back inside. She then proceeded to enjoy her dinner, though not without first cleaning up the "unholy mess" she had created. McKinnon's hilarious experience serves as a reminder that sometimes, even the most straightforward tasks can be more challenging than they seem.
