And she has been slept on faaaaar too long. So here are 16 of her greatest moments that just remind me what a true gift she is to this world.
1.Her viral "Oh, oh, oh" Met Gala interview with Megan Thee Stallion that remains a trending sound on TikTok.
2. And then the follow-up of her explaining that sound, which is almost better: "Why am I at my job doing that?"
3.Obviously, the "Sorry to this man" meme.
