Snl Skit Broadway I Loved It Watch Over Again Hypnotized
Hey y'all! Information technology is the collector's edition of SNL in Review, back with some other definitive evidence recap. Tonight's episode is hosted by Academy Accolade winner Rami Malek, with musical guest Immature Thug.
I am joined tonight by Saturday Night Live flavor six cast fellow member Denny Dillon. The trailer for her latest movie Bruised — starring and directed by Halle Drupe — came out this week.
Malek is hosting tonight to promote the latest James Bond movie, No Fourth dimension to Die. Of course, a pre-pandemic Daniel Craig did the same thing way back in March 2020, birthing the famed "Ladies and gentlemen… the Weeknd" meme. The offset James Bail movie that Dillon remembers seeing was Goldfinger.
Malek is the villain in the latest Bail. Dillon describes herself equally "onetime schoolhouse" — her favorite Bond villain remains "Ernst Stavro Blofeld or the guy with the vertical scar going through his eye. He was introduced as #1 in From Russia With Love and Thunderball and then chief villain in Y'all Only Live Twice. I loved Mike Myers' have on him in Austin Powers."
To her, Bond villains should be "inscrutable, invincible, believable." Funny, that is my expectation for Rami Malek's approach to hosting! Welp, fellow Coneheads, let's promise this night'south comedy is shaken not stirred (amirite)… it's alive from New York!
Cold Open
Buckle up, press conference time. Cecily Stiff is the head of PR for the NFL. Roger Goodell is introduced — and surprisingly information technology's Colin Jost! A rare not-Update appearance, merely he's well-cast given how punchable the football commissioner is.
Former Raiders head coach Jon Gruden (James Austin Johnson) comes out to explain his contempo email scandal. He nails it. (Dillon watched James Austin Johnson in the cold opening of the Owen Wilson prove. She says compared to Jim Carrey's work last season, "I thought [James Austin Johnson] had more of a beat on Biden.")
Next up: Alex Moffat equally Mark Davis and his terrible pilus. And Larry Rucker (Pete Davidson) — lots of turnover here. Pete gets a huge reaction from the studio audition. So many introductions and cast members swinging for the fences here.
Andrew Dismukes alert! Squeamish to see him hither. Heidi Gardner is a Washington Football Team cheerleader, who welcomes their new, troubling mascot (Kyle Mooney). I wish this cold open had stayed with James Austin Johnson though. You don't need to cycle in so many ideas, people.
That said: it was clever to have Levar Burton (Kenan Thompson) duet on a NFL-themed Reading Rainbow riff with Colin Kaepernick (Chris Redd) but these cold opens could certainly exist tighter, simpler.
Monologue
Malek is #TeamScar — he always sympathizes more than with villains. A trivial stilted.
Initially, Dillon did not watch Mr. Robot, which launched Malek's career. "It's not my kind of show, but I kept hearing about him. I tuned in and found him mesmerizing, and kept watching." And she idea he was "electric" in Maverick Rhapsody. "Riveting. Total rock star."

She says Malek is "surprising and dangerous. Two qualities I dearest best in actors. He as well is unusual looking; part matinee idol, part character and his acting is e'er truthful."
Bug Assembly
Kenan Thompson and Heidi Gardner are educators introducing a school assembly problems presentation. Andrew Dismukes is a "not-religious" preying mantis. Sarah Sherman (equally a lady bug!), Malek (every bit a stink issues!) and Bowen Yang are the other creatures. Yang steals the evidence as daddy long legs, complete with his ain exhibit jam music. "I'one thousand a begetter and my legs keep for weeks." Fabulous.
"Daddy'southward got it!"
Song — Squid Game
Pete Davidson and Rami Malek duet on a land ode to the new Netflix hit show. They smash the show'southward art direction and capture the tearing premise well. "That'due south what happens in the Squid Game," they croon.
Prince Audience
Kenan Thompson and Rami Malek play themselves, squaring off as 2 rival actors auditioning to play Prince in a motion-picture show. Maybe a knock at the Robin Williams audience tape that was released this week? While Malek resembles Prince, Kenan gets points for being Black. Malek argues his parents are Egyptian, technically in Africa. "C'mon man," the casting folks respond. They both exercise silly impressions on command, every bit the casting directors (Ego Nwodim, Punkie Johnson, Chris Redd) make their determination.
Daniel Craig shows up! He wants to play an bodily prince, since he'south British. "Can I at least take a become, try?" he pleads. "Go off me double-oh-ugly," snaps Kenan.
Prince has been impersonated on SNL a lot throughout the years -— namely Fred Armisen. But Chris Kattan and Billy Crystal (!!) also played him.
Celeb School Game Show
Bert Simpson (Kenan Thompson) is the host — he oversees a classroom of celebs helping ii contestants (Andrew Dismukes, Punkie Johnson). John Oliver (Mikey Day), Jennifer Coolidge (Chloe Fineman), Adam Commuter (James Austin Johnson), Kristen Wiig (Melissa Villaseñor), George Takei (oh my, Bowen Yang), Lil Wayne (WTF, Chris Redd), Rami Malek (played by Pete Davison?!), and Pete Davidson (ha, Rami Malek) are the participants.
I ever savor when current cast members spoof former bandage members. But the prove stopper hither is Pete/Rami versus Rami/Pete.
Seems like the evidence is seeking to replace Celebrity Jeopardy! Could this be the format?
Immature Thug performing "Tick Tock"
"Tick Tock" is the outset single for Thugger's sophomore studio album P*NK. Travis Barker aside, strong Lil Wayne-era Rebirth vibes hither.
Young Thug previously appeared alongside Kanye W during a performance in 2016. He also popped up in the flavour 46 premiere, performing "Don't Stop" with Megan Thee Stallion.
Dillon was non familiar before tonight's bear witness, but she was looking forwards to this performance.
Weekend Update
Colin Jost and Michael Che take shots at President Biden; Jost critiques Senator Manchin'due south role in the reconciliation bargain. Che brings upwardly his tendency to be late. Other topics: Sorry Girl Autumn, and wildfires — threatening old President Reagan's ranch — needing "trickle down" water solution (referring to the president's economic policy).
Dillon shares she believes her season had an obligation to stand upward to the Reagan administration: "I believe all expert comedy stands upward to presidents and kings beginning with the court jester."
Jost brings upwards the "twink Willy Wonka" photograph that went viral as part of the Timothée Chalamet prequel movie production this week. Bowen Yang comes out as a proud gay Oompa Loompa. Well, turns out he wasn't out. He was only on to discuss a manufactory strike. He's concerned about what his parents think — Oompa Loompa Land isn't very progressive, evidently. They simply now got Will & Grace. This is great.
Chris Redd also comes on. He's jumping effectually discussing the "important unimportant things," like does anyone know a blimp driver? The last fourth dimension he went on Update, he said "Blackness people can't become coronavirus!" Oof. He defends himself past bringing up his lack of education, specially in the sciences. Very of import unimportant news.
Obviously, Linus Minus (Mikey Day), a hypnotist, is the toast of the contempo Broadway reopening. In a demonstration, Roy (Kenan Thompson) is his volunteer. He gets put to sleep. He's also relaxed, and wets his pants. When he awakens, he'south rightfully upset until Linus instructs him to be happy nearly information technology. (Who else is excited for the new Dwelling Alone, featuring Kenan and written by Day?) Another fun, lively Update that throws some abrupt elbows.
Dillon adds: "I am a news junkie, so I dear when the writing has a bite and punch to politics that turns the news upside downwards both in common cold opens and Weekend Update. SNL has a rich history of memorable sketches in the past — Melissa McCarthy equally Sean Spicer, Chevy Chase as Gerald Ford, Kate McClinton equally Kellyanne Conway, and others. I don't retrieve it's nearly Trump, then much equally sharp political writing and satire."
Mattress Store
Rami Malek is at Sleepy Town U.s.a. with his wife (Aidy Bryant). They're testing out a mattress and information technology's getting quite animated. It helps them to roleplay like that and bicker every bit they assess whether they want to purchase a new sleeping pad. Bowen Yang is the mattress store employee, disturbed by the weirdness he's witness to.
Fun escalation near the end. This had a fun dark, twisted free energy to information technology. "A bed for married woman, a bed for life." Indeed.
Young Thug Performs "Love You lot More"
"Love Y'all More than" is the latest unmarried from Thug. Nate Reuss — who performs the chorus — last appeared on SNL with Fun, when they were bravado up in 2012. Several years ago, the rap message boards went berserk over everything Young Thug put out. His unreleased freestyles, i-offs, were legendary. His sound engineer became Twitter famous — Young Thug stans were well-respected voices. Simply songs like this? Information technology seems pretty average to me.
Improv Songs
And Daniel Craig is back! He is out with Cecily Strong. Aristotle Athari gets the ball, which is fun. This is the most nosotros accept seen from him this season. He is performing beautiful songs on the spot, with suggestions from the audience.
"Road trip!" hollers Craig. Rami Malek comes out to improvise trip the light fantastic toe moves as Athari gently harmonizes. I similar Athari going into Foreigner at the close.
Terminal Thoughts
— Wow, am pleasantly surprised past Malek tonight. What did you retrieve? Vote here!
— Thank y'all to Denny Dillon! Bruised — featuring Dillon every bit Crazy Ether — is in theaters, and streams on Netflix in November. She too recently filmed an independent one-act, Paint, starring Owen Wilson. It is playing at Sundance, other festivals.
— How bully was the "Please Don't Destroy" pretape last week? Heard we might take had another ane in the pipeline this evening. I love when the show allows writers who aren't members of the cast to get screen fourth dimension. Pretty rare these days, but not without precedent. I asked Denny Dillon who her favorite writer was when she was in the cast. She answers: "Pamela Norris. I was lucky to piece of work with her again when she was producer on Designing Women in episode 'The Wilderness Feel.'"
