Molly Shannon: "When The Kids Come Home It's All About Them"

Actress Molly Shannon has come a long way since her kilt-wearing, armpit scented finger sniffing days as nutty Catholic schoolgirl Mary Katherine Gallagher on Saturday Night Live. The 47-year-old star is not only busy being mom to her two children Stella, 8, and Nolan, 6 but she is also authoring children's books.

Her first book titled Tilly The Trickster was spawned from telling her children bedtime stories at night.

Molly Shannon & Kids: Clown Crossing

Molly Shannon and her adorable kids Stella, 7, and Nolan, 5 were spotted out and about in West Hollywood, Calif. on Friday (June 17). The Saturday Night Live alum was in a good mood as she mugged for the camera as they all crossed the street.

And speaking of ice cream (I know I wasn't, but just go with me here) rumor has it that Ben & Jerry's is developing an ice cream based on an SNL skit that featured Molly. Although, the name might not necessarily be all that appetizing.

Funnylady Molly Shannon was spotted with her two children - Stella, 7, and Nolan, 5 - at the Los Angeles International Airport after a long flight from New York City. The Saturday Night Live alum had just appeared with Betty White in the Big Apple. I loved their muffin sketch!

Molly, 45, who was well known for her hilarious Mary Katherine Gallagher character on SNL, was joined by fellow former cast members Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Rachel Dratch, Maya Rudolph and Ana Gasteyer. Betty, 88 1/2, and the girls brought SNL its biggest ratings this year. You go girls!

Molly Shannon & Her Little Characters

Molly Shannon was seen with her two children, Stella, 5 ½, and Nolan, 4 this month, at the Grove in Los Angeles, CA on the weekend. Nolan was in character wearing a Spider-man costume while Stella was seen accessorizing with a purse and necklace for the outing.

The 44-year-old SNL alum who was well known for her hilarious Mary Katherine Gallagher character always knew that she would be a mother someday: "I was destined to be a mom. In elementary school, all the kids loved to play house during recess—and I was always picked to be the mom. In fact, my classmates would fight over who got to be my children. When I was a teen, all of our neighbors trusted me to babysit their kids."

Molly Shannon in Page Six

Oct 3, 2008 by NICOLE

Molly Shannon is most famous for her sense of humor and appearances on SNL and in the movie Superstar, and she sat down with Page Six to show off her sense of humor - and her fabulous legs!

On husbandFritz Chesnut and her kids, daughter Stella, 5, and son Nolan, 3 1/2: "All the years I was on SNL, I didn't think about kids. I was focused on work. But toward the end, I was looking for a serious boyfriend who could turn into a husband that I could have children with. I was very clear about what I wanted."

On her approach to giving birth: "I called my doctor and said, 'I think labor is starting,' and she said I should go about my day. So I went to Starbucks. I went to a street fair. I got a super-straight blow-dry so I could look nice while pushing," she laughs.

Molly Shannon Opens Up About Motherhood

Actress, comedienne, and mom Molly Shannon is one of our favorite talents. Her hilarious Saturday Night Live performances (such as her "Superstar" / Mary Katherine Gallagher role) made her a televlsion star before she broke into film with roles in a number of movies like Shallow Hal and Marie Antoinette. Molly lives in California with her partner Fritz Chesnut and their two children, Stella, 4, and Nolan, 3. Molly recently sat down with Cookie magazine and discussed life as a mom. On what her children do to make her laugh: "My daughter likes to be Fancy Nancy. The other day she spilled hot chocolate on herself and said, "Oh no, now I am not fancy." Stuff like that makes me laugh. My son says "pusz" instead of saying "because," which is pretty funny." On her favorite family ritual: "I like hanging out at home and having Sunday dinner with the family and relaxing." On her most frazzled mom moment: "A while ago, I was flying into LAX with my two kids. While I was at the baggage claim, I was trying to balance the stroller with both of them in it and carry the bags, and there was just a lot going on. The stroller tipped over and the kids screamed, just because they were scared. But they were fine. This kind of thing happens to all moms, but it was one of those moments when some photographers were around. You just want to say, "Not now. I am a mom, not a celebrity.""
