I could tell she had more. SNL needs to give her a shot.

I love Punkie so much because she’s so versatile! She can go from gramma to auntie to stud to stripper!! What a great addition to the SNL family!

[rocko.ambition]

Glad they gave Punkie a spotlight, she's funny and barely gets a chance to show it 🙌🏼

[laalaastl]

Punkie doesn't get nearly enough screen time, so when she gets it she really WORK it!

Punkie is NEW ORLEANS! Glad she got to shine tonight!! ⚜️⚜️

i know it was an accident, but her nail falling off really added to the reality of the bit.

“Luckily, I keep stripper money”
Why do I feel like Che isn’t even joking? 😂

Somehow.... Pineapple just sounds so comforting to me during these challenging times. Just like a big ole hug from a warm buxom aunt. I hope we see her again, please. 😊😘🙏

“Paul Pierce is a saint. He gave us strippers a job during a very tough time.” 😂🤣

[Ezzcare]

“He got us all four-for-fours from Wendy’s.”

My girl from New Orleans, ain’t no mistaking our accent ⚜️

She got the entire Diamond wig on 😂😂😂😂

I know Punkie is new, but she needs a lot more attention. Her stand-up is so good, and she shines even in small parts...

[DJLangenburg]

I hope this isn't the last we've seen of Pineapple.

[patftw]

She look like Roni from the Players Club 😂
