The clips I saw from this weekend’s SNL were pretty great, including the Slim Shady-Santa sketch and Cecily Strong doing a perfectly deranged Melissa Carone alongside Kate McKinnon’s farty Rudy Giuliani. [Pajiba]

My first comment when I saw Guiliani’s witness was “Do you think there’s an actual deathmatch going on backstage at SNL to decide who gets to play this woman?”
Honestly, when I first heard the actual footage, I thought the woman was imitating one of Cecily’s characters!
I think there was no dispute that Cecily Strong would return for this.
Has she left the show?
Cecily is had been shooting something Vancouver, and with protocols was not allowed back and forth.
Someone on twitter took Cecily’s “Drunk Girl at a Party” from Weekend Update and mixed it with testimony. If you aren’t watching it, it sounds exactly the same!

The SNL skit was hysterical. When she said “comorbidititties” I LOST IT! 🤣
Me too!!!!! I guffawed so loudly the neighbors probably heard.
And she did her “afterdavids” you know after david did his
Webster’s word of the year!
hysterical!
Millissa Carone is funnier than SNL on Saturday. Over 20,000,000 view her on the internet and I believe I have viewed her 10,000,000 because I laugh out loud every time I watched her, that was some funny %#@$, 😝
The irony in this article is that I am sure Melissa Carone was channeling Victoria Jackson, a former member of SNL who went bonkers for the far right. So it was Cecily playing Melissa playing Victoria.
That’s a fairly accurate description.
Sounds about right!
For DAYS I was trying to figure out who she reminded me of. It’s totally Victoria Jackson. (I wonder whatever happened to her?)
Afterdavids sent me over the edge. I was about to stop listening cuz it’s painful lol. These people are reality nightmares. Hmm, that’s a new oxymoron.
SNL was great on Sat. I think Jason Bateman is so funny and even Pete made me laugh in his Slim Shady Santa Bit. But the cold open was so so funny. The parent phone call to have the not coming home for Xmas skit had me howling lol.
That Stu skit is a pretty straightforward ripoff of Scott Thompson’s (Kids in the Hall) parody of Stan. I don’t think Pete Davidson needs a plagiarism scandal, but people are calling for him a genius for that skit. Scott Thompson and Kids in the Hall are legend. Sad.
The call home skit was hilarious and I’m glad we’ve already had that convo back when this first started and we didn’t want to visit for Memorial Day weekend. Now that the family has basically shunned us and punished us for trying to stay safe we no longer need to have these conversations.
I’m so sorry. I am lucky that my family are all on board with staying safe. It must be maddening to deal with that.
I have no doubt that pug will figure out how to open the front door, too! Great SNL opener, too! ‘I have an interest in fossils.’
I’m here for parkour pug!
Howling at that SNL skit. I’m so glad that people are starting to realize what a national treasure Cecily Strong is. She has been consistently cracking me up throughout her whole tenure on the show but I feel like she’s really ascended to new heights in recent years with her iconic takes on Melania and Jeanine Pirro… and now Melissa Carone. Her Jeanine Pirro bit on Weekend Update (and spit-tak’ing her martinis all over Colin Yost) is up there with the funniest bits in SNL history IMO.
One thing about the SNL opening that fell flat to me was Governor Whitaker’s would be kidnappers. It wasn’t some cute situation where they wanted to make her play board games and only feed her Twinkies. They were planning to murder her.
Agreed, that was not funny. And now Jocelyn Benson (Secretary of State in Michigan) is getting armed nuts harassing her at her home.
I’m from Michigan, and when our local papers posted the SNL skit on facebook, Melissa’s sister was alllll up in the comments yelling at people and defending her sister “who has more backbone than anyone here commenting.” Fun was had.
I’m not finding any comedy in this, wait until late January then I’ll laugh.
