"Nope" star Keke Palmer announced she was pregnant during her "Saturday Night Live" opening monologue. "People have been in my comments saying, ‘Keke’s having a baby, Keke’s pregnant,’ and I wanna set the record straight — I am!" The actress then opened her jacket, grinning widely as she showed off her protruding stomach.
Given that the actress herself is the mother of many memes, it is no surprise that folks who watched Palmer's monologue immediately turned her pregnancy announcement into a new meme, with tons of social media users sharing their thoughts, jokes, and commentary on the televised moment.

There were others who commented on the strange phenomenon of watching stars grow up before your eyes over the years. One of Palmer's earliest roles was in "Akeelah and the Bee" with Laurence Fishburne, which she referenced in her SNL monologue.

During the show's opener, she quipped that friends who were congratulating her on her baby were messing up her chances at securing alcohol brand deals: "I’m like, shhh, can y’all stop? I got a liquor sponsorship on the line. Let the check clear, then we can get to the damn baby shower," before adding, "But honestly, this has been the biggest blessing, and I am so excited guys, I’m going to be a mom."
You can watch her monologue below:
She said, "It was such a great experience. I had so much fun, except for when I got yelled at by Laurence Fishburne. We were doing a dramatic scene and I just started laughing at his ass. I had a good reason. Just imagine. I’m a little kid watching a 40-year-old man crying to me about winning a national spelling bee. It was hysterical but when I started laughing, he read me for filth. He was like, ‘You can’t do this. This is not what real actors do...And I honestly do appreciate that he did. Even though it was intense, he taught me to be a professional in real-time."
keke palmer pregnant and the whole tl is happy. you see what happens when you’re loved @NickCannon
