‘Saturday Night Live’ preview: Cecily Strong returns after White House Correspondents’ Dinner

For those keeping track, it took less than a week for “Saturday Night Live” to start to tout the recent appearance of Cecily Strong at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. They reference it in the latest promo below for Saturday’s show hosted by Scarlett Johansson. They paint Cecily as a desperate comic trying to make sure everyone knows that she had this prestigious honor, when in reality we imagine that it is the complete opposite with her. It’s still a very big deal for her, so we wouldn’t be shocked to see her featured more this weekend.

Also, the two and musical guest Wiz Khalifa do a bit about the number of tattoos that they have. It’s not particularly hilarious, but if you watch “SNL” promos thinking that you are going to go into a hysterical fit of laughter, you may need to examine what some of your priorities are for this show. We’d rather they save the good stuff that is worthy of their time for the show.

Scarlett’s obviously a timely host, judging from the fact that “The Avengers: Age of Ultron” is probably going to break box-office records this weekend. Meanwhile, the thing about getting Wiz for a musical guest is that he is extremely current, given that he has the #1 song in the country right now in “See You Again,” and it still is in the process of rising up the pop airplay charts. We don’t quite know what else he is going to perform on the night, but he has charisma and even a little bit of a sense of humor based on what we’ve seen.
