What a night for Melissa Villasenor!
I think the episode needed her more reserved stage presence to counterbalance Sterling K. (Kathleen) Browns theatricality.
Brown brought a lot of energy and commitment to his hosting duties, and it was great.
First of all, because Alex Moffat has like eighty different ways of being smarmy.
His Chris Harrison gave me douche chills in a totally different way than hisArie impression.
Monologue
An actoracts!Sterling K. Brown knocked this out of the park.
Then Leslie Jones came on, and the two got to just bask in each others talent.
Family Feud: Oscars Edition
This may be controversial, but I hateFeudsketches.
Everyone gets 2 lines, there are funny bits but no momentum.
Dont dangle a fun genre-breaking premise then give me an impression death march.
And while were at it, here are some more donts.
I have no complaints regarding Pete Davidsons Timothee Chalamet.
He did the slouch perfectly.
Timothee should probably be taking calcium supplements.
This is U.S.
What if the real tearjerker is …America?
The only problem with this sketch is that none of these people are introspective enough to actually feel things.
Kate McKinnons Kellyanne Conway is at least upfront about it.
Cant cry, she says, I have nothing in me.
Browns Ben Carson impression is good.
I honestly had no idea thats how he really talks.
Family Dinner - Shrek
A family is torn apart by a fiances unwavering devotion to everyones favorite CGI ogre.
It was wild seeing the retirement ceremonies for two sources of internet humor: Shrek and Nickelback.
Sleep well, green prince, youve earned it.
Sasquatch
Mikey Day just cant catch a break with this bigfoot!
If you enjoy pee and poop and violence jokes, this sketch is probably for you.
Weekend Update
The Trump boys are a perfect way into the Trump administration.
Double acts are rarely this clear, nor do they have so many joke spokes.
Movie Coverage
Brown plays an actor who needs someone to read lines with him for close-up shots.
Unfortunately for him, its this woman who refuses to swear cuz I promised God.
You dont often see man-on-the-street bits onSNL.
Is it cost prohibitive?
Its fun watching the subtle racism become more and more overt as this taped piece progresses.
Dying Mrs. Gomez
Theres nothing wrong with the execution of this sketch.
Funny, well-karaoked, and showing exactly enough of Cecily Strongs headbanging.
Melissa Villasenors dying woman kills it.
But a Nickelback sketch the day before3/11?
