To be fair. Australian accents are tough. I'm Australian and I find it tough to exaggerate my own accent.

He asks her a question and then interrupts and starts goofing off and doesn't even let her answer! I wanted to know what Aussie podcasts she listened to..

[neednojams]

As an Australian.... just want to say that she made a good attempt at an Australian accent. So many American actors do it so poorly. One of the better ones I've heard.

[Troubledchilddr]

I like how she called him out but so politely " isn't he cute??? "

[Magooch]

So he asks her to say one word in an Australian accent. Great interview as always

Kate McKinnon is a national treasure. I will watch anything she's in, she's just delightful!

[PatriCoop]

She's the loveliest and that dress is gorgeous❤️

Look as an Australian her accent wasn't that bad. It wasn't entirely accurate but it was funny as hell and thats all that matters really.

[Claego]

I love Kates sense of humor it's just fun

[watchcity]

She is brilliantly hysterical and incredibly talented! I LOVE her impression of Sessions!!!! I have to pause the video each time so I can have a laughing spell and then press play again!

She is so lovely and funny! Don’t change Kate, we love you this way :)

3:05 -- Her Australian accent is pretty damn good. About 95%.

[SprngOnion]

As an Australian her accent sounds more New Zealand

0:38 jinx

[indrapancananta]

Haha..that's my favorite Kate's scene in Rough Nite movie. I love how she explained cracking her own neck. 😂

[goldenshot]

I'm from Brisbane Australia no one sounds like that

[Lola_t]

I'm Australian, good on her for trying, but it's not great.

[oliviab]

I'm aussie and her accent is legit amazing

[adonismateo]
