Is Saturday Night Live new tonight? Reliving Kristen Stewart, Sean Spicer, Steve Bannon
Cara was rather fantastic on the show, but within this article, we want to give you the comedic sketches that are either worth watching again if you’ve already caught the show, or the odds that are worth seeing in the event that you haven’t seen the show at all.
Steve Bannon Cold Open – Following this show, there were requests from Rosie O’Donnell and others to play the prominent Donald Trump adviser, someone who has a specter of bad press around him at almost every turn. It was a risky move for the writers to continue to have him be a Grim Reaper sort of figure, but it turned out to be an inspired bit of comedy and something that worked rather well for him.
There are consistent laughs in this Oval Office sketch from start to finish, even though we do hope that if the show ever brings the Bannon character back, they find a way to make him a little bit easier to understand.
Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer – Genius. It was so unexpected when it happened, and while it’s almost impossible to replicate the laughter that we had the first time watching it now, the impression is still so brilliantly on-point that it’s hard not to laugh even still.
Totinos – In looking back at Stewart’s actual performance as a host, her best moments were during some of the pre-taped bits where she could be a little bit more in her element. This artsy take on the classic pizza-roll commercial was entertaining as always, especially since it took a turn that was so unexpected after the first minute or so.
For whatever reason, the insistence on the words “hungry guys” is something that we do always get a laugh or two about just because of the fact that it’s always there no matter what else is going on the sketch. We’re sure the show will do this again next year, and we’ll like it just as much then.
