The Golden Globes may have already concluded but there indeed were several scene-stealing moments from the awards ceremony that continue to be the talk-of-the-town. From Joaquin Phoenix's applauded winning speech to host Ricky Gervais ripping thins apart in the form of jokes, it certainly was a memorable night.

It became all the more memorable for Ellen DeGeneres who won the Carol Burnett Award and she was introduced brilliantly by Saturday Night Live! (SNL) star, Kate McKinnon. However, in her recent appearance on Ellen's show, McKinnon revealed how she put too much pressure on herself for the introduction part. According to The Hollywood Reporter, The comedian admitted that she usually doesn't agree to do those types of favors for people. "Usually if anyone asks me to do anything, I sort of seize up and then try to find a way to say no because I don't leave the house," she said.

The comedian added that she put "a lot of pressure" on herself to write the Golden Globes speech. "It was like a month leading up to it and I thought, 'Oh gosh, I got to write that speech,'" she said. "And instead, I cleaned my closets. You have no idea what you did for me and my closets."

DeGeneres asked when McKinnon got around to writing the speech and the comedian said she penned it "on the plane." She continued, "I thought, 'I'm down to the wire here.'"

Earlier in the appearance, McKinnon spoke about the table she and DeGeneres sat at.
