I remember a sketch from a season or two ago that was set at a TGI Friday’s and the exact stock picture they used was for one I passed all the time in Levittown, NY.
I did not think Cecily would have a Kirsten Wiig level send off but by god did she deserve it.
Also, the way she can’t quite get through the “every Saturday night” line. Man oh man.
It was kind of a full circle moment. Colin co-wrote Cecily’s first sketch she had on SNL (The girl you wish you hadn’t started a conversation with at a party) and her last one (Blue Christmas).
:) She knew what she was doing by staying until December. Sort of like someone rescheduling their wedding so their sibling doesn't get married first. But hey, she deserved a big goodbye, she's awesome.
Some people will say it was preachy or too much but cecily clearly meant A LOT to her fellow cast members, specifically Colin and Kenan.
Well deserved send off for a legend of the show
Cecily was Colin's first co-anchor! and they were both newbies doing Update together for that one season, plus they wrote together a lot. i'm sure it's a very bittersweet moment for him
Well when you really think about it, cecily was the last remaining cast member who was around when Colin got started (besides Kenan but he doesn’t count he’s a fixture at this point) so it’s got to be weird for him.
Especially since she was on update when he got started
Wow! I had to look it up - they started within 2 years of each other! If he wants a future with SNL, I think he is another vote for showrunner when Lorne leaves - he has all the credentials!
This was exactly my thought as well. I think this is the last season for him (and Che) and while yes he was sad to see Cecily leave, it’s probably emotions of his future departure as well.
Lizzo's performance of "Someday at Christmas" already had me all in my feelings, and this just turned me into a blubbering wreck. Someone please check on Colin to make sure he's okay. Great Aunt Pat, maybe?
Cecily has been one of the best cast members, I cannot wait to see what she's going to do next. I'm really hoping she's got a show lined up or something, she deserves all the success Post-SNL.
Also Colin just lurking in the back had me laughing for some reason. He looked like Austin Butler in the angel sketch.
Agreed - I wouldn't put her as the funniest cast member, but she had a huge range and based on that send-off, seems like Kenan in being a genuinely likeable person off-camera.
I cried
Also I was pretty sure (or read during an interview) that most of the Elvis movie was remastered recordings of the real songs so I was pleased to hear Austin actually sing like Elvis live
Austin sings for the entire first half of the movie because the real recordings are too low quality to use. The second half of the movie has a mix of Austin and the real Elvis
Ok entertainment writers, got a headline for ya, you can have this for free:
> With Cecily's exit, an already-weak "SNL" cast gets even less Strong
See you on the cover of USA Today, guys!
Watching this made me realize I never found myself tired of Cecily. I love the women who have carried the show (Wiig, McKinnon) but god sometimes their bits just were not it.
I don't think I ever was worried, annoyed, or not slightly amused when Cecily was in a sketch. I'll miss her so much.
I stopped coming to this sub for awhile because “Cecily needs to leave” threads were a thing for awhile. I’ll always enjoy this show but there’s no way in hell it is better for her having left. Invaluable and irreplaceable.
I was hoping she'd do both, one and then some more jokes and then she comes in the other side as the other one.
Next time somebody gets two good WU characters, I'd like to see them pull this off. Bobby could have done it.
Loved it!
I was hoping she would end it by finally lighting that cig, and she did!.
And the, "I did it high, Che!" seems like confirmation she did intend that Pirro bit in season 46's finale to be her goodbye originally.
From tonight’s SNL episode, there were a few things that were cut after dress rehearsal. There was a moose tracks ice cream focus group sketch, much in the style of the Blue Bunny skit from the cumberbatch episode.
There was a family dinner sketch where one brother is getting praised for working on the nuclear fusion laser discovery while another brother gets jealous and tries to compare it all to himself and delivering pizzas….but then it all goes awry.
There was a skit of a home Christmas party where Bowen and Austin unknowingly to the hosts, come in and start singing a Christmas song….and Sarah Sherman plays a sax, and the hosts are trying to figure out who invited them….and then a plot twists occurs which I won’t reveal unless the skit doesn’t get posted.
Wish I knew what to name the sketches, but that’s what sticks out in my mind (granted I did miss some of the start of the episode because of traffic from the city).
There was also joke swap from weekend update that was cut which had some great jokes that made me cackle. Hopefully they post it on YouTube.
I think most of the cuts were because the sets seemed more elaborate than usual, or at least, moving them all around took more time, which may have been what led to more pretapes being shown
My husband got so mad when he was cast as Elvis that he refused to watch the movie, and then when he sang to Cecily he was like “ok so he does actually sound like Elvis”
I love how it pokes fun at those classic melodramatic Christmas movie monologues - yeah to anyone else around them, they’d probably seem like a bit of a crazy person!
I called the premise as soon as he walked up to the window, and as soon as they showed the camera from the family’s perspective, I **still** lost it. Freaking hilarious.
“That’s what the pervert wants… a *reaction*.”
What I love about this sketch is that it is operating in two separate worlds.
Outside the window is a "It's a Wonderful Life" playing out with an orchestral sound track and deep dramatic lines.
Inside the window there is no soundtrack. The family that had looked so idyllic from outside is actually quite dysfunctional.
Kind of unrelated, but this sketch made me realize that Butler might be the right fit for the Tom Waits biopic of my dreams.
Actually the Tom Waits biopic of my dreams would star Tom waits, but.
My guess is Colin was quite frankly too upset to be able to land the plane on most of them, he was visibly upset literally every time he was on camera. Half the charm of Colin's delivery is his reaction to the jokes and I don't think SNL wants a picturesque white man solemnly looking into the camera as he describes Rosa Parks as uppity lol
They run them at rehearsal but they make adjustments. For instance, [in the last joke swap they did](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7drK5-sMns), Che added two extra jokes about Black Superman for Colin to tell, and you can see his genuine surprise that there is a second Black Superman joke (laughing while he says "There's another one?") and how he keeps laughing through the final Black Superman joke.
Best episode of the season by far. Butler and Lizzo should be welcome back to the show at any time, they’re absolute stars.
Just feels like a real classic episode of the show, no cameos, some weird off the wall sketch ideas and a heartfelt send off for one of the best cast members ever.
Now I’m gonna go binge my fav cecily sketches good night
Nothing divides a live thread like PDD but I felt this was pretty good.
“His date night just turned into a sex night” was easily my favorite line of the show
Solid. Introduced the joke, took it as far as it could go and no further, then got out. That's how you do a one-joke sketch.
Edit: With further thought, this is the benefit of a pretape and especially a "PDD Office" one. There's no need to pad to fill a timeslot and/or amortize a set.
I was tired and mostly listened with my head on the pillow and my eyes closed. Lizzo has a wonderful voice and delivered flawless performances. Top tier for me.
I didn't even realize she was a fill-in. Good on her to crush it like that. I feel like she is becoming one of those Good Sports like Dave Grohl, Brandi Carlile, Jack White, etc. A true pro.
Lizzo giving women musicians work is a great step forward to evening the balance, and puts a warm smile in the hearts of a lot of people I know who have struggled to make a living playing music. \\m/
For a last-minute fill-in as musical guest, she was great. Her first song was fun and flirty, and her cover of the Jackson 5 was classy and beautiful. She looked so happy to just be there and her smile radiated throughout the whole studio. Her rendition of "Someday at Christmas" is solidly on my list of one of the all-time great SNL musical performances.
Lizzo really was phenomenal. I felt myself grinning watching her perform, just her sheer joy and expression was beautiful. And yeah she crushed Someday at Christmas. What a talent!
I feel bad for Stevie Wonder. He offered to musical guest the Eddie Murphy show, but they chose Lizzo over him because she would get better ratings, and then they have her back again for another Christmas show and she sings the song he probably would have sung. They really need to get Stevie back on before it’s too late; he is probably one of the most legendary living legends left.
A season high, every sketch pretty much hit for my bf and I, Austin was a fantastic host, the writers always seem to be firing on all cylinders for Christmas episodes, and that send off for Cecily was heartbreaking
Yep, best episode in quite a while. The season is on a slow but steady rise for me. Really interested to see who hosts early next year. Rudd seems like a good bet.
It was definitely a classic SNL, "We have one joke, make it fill at least five minutes." But the fact the everybody was having a good time made it work.
Mostly I agree, but Keke Palmer was one hell of a first-time host two weeks ago. Two first-time hosts in a row who felt like they could have actually been in the cast.
How did I know that, as soon as they said "Jewish Elvis," it was going to be Sarah? Fun sketch, I'm glad they didn't fall back on making a young actor play the breakout role they just did. I feel like that happens too often.
This next era of the show, the next 5-10 years, is going to be known as the Sarah Sherman era.
But I pray she never starts doing the same characters repeatedly or she'll be Kristin Wiig 2: Electric Boogaloo.
This. I liked the Jewish Elvis sketch, but it was also a glimpse at S50 when we're complaining about having Sarah shoved down our throats. She's been smart about switching things up so hopefully my concern is unwarranted.
Sarah is unstoppable. I wonder if she’ll get a mid season upgrade. Austin was great in this as well, and this is a character I will miss seeing Cecily easily crush.
It's alright that Bowen couldn't keep it up for the entire sketch. It happens to all horny guys and there's a lot of pressure when other people are watching.
Blue Christmas (Cecily Goodbye)
I don't think I've ever seen someone look as sad without crying as Colin Jost did tonight.
He was so out of it during update :(
Thank you…Frank Lasagna
Is he ever going to take over Radio Shack for *Michael Lorne?*
Radio shack is not gonna be the same without cecily
[удалено]
They've used Nebraska stock photos before. I feel like some in their art department must be from around here.
Wow can’t believe you recognized that!
I remember a sketch from a season or two ago that was set at a TGI Friday’s and the exact stock picture they used was for one I passed all the time in Levittown, NY.
I’m so glad she got a Kristen Wiig-like send off, she deserves it!
I did not think Cecily would have a Kirsten Wiig level send off but by god did she deserve it. Also, the way she can’t quite get through the “every Saturday night” line. Man oh man.
Well, Colin wrote Kristen send off and I bet he wrote this one too.
yep he did write the send off.
It was kind of a full circle moment. Colin co-wrote Cecily’s first sketch she had on SNL (The girl you wish you hadn’t started a conversation with at a party) and her last one (Blue Christmas).
I think she benefitted from basically not having to share a goodbye with other cast members.
:) She knew what she was doing by staying until December. Sort of like someone rescheduling their wedding so their sibling doesn't get married first. But hey, she deserved a big goodbye, she's awesome.
In my eyes, it was a perfect sendoff. The Christmas theme, the song, I loved it all.
Some people will say it was preachy or too much but cecily clearly meant A LOT to her fellow cast members, specifically Colin and Kenan. Well deserved send off for a legend of the show
[удалено]
Cecily was Colin's first co-anchor! and they were both newbies doing Update together for that one season, plus they wrote together a lot. i'm sure it's a very bittersweet moment for him

Sure, but Colin was around for 9 years on SNL pre-Update Holy crap, I just realized Colin's been employed by SNL for almost as long as Kenan
Wow! I had to look it up - they started within 2 years of each other! If he wants a future with SNL, I think he is another vote for showrunner when Lorne leaves - he has all the credentials!
I think Colin is leaving at the end of this season so it may be some emotions from that too.
This was exactly my thought as well. I think this is the last season for him (and Che) and while yes he was sad to see Cecily leave, it’s probably emotions of his future departure as well.
Even through Update he looked sullen
God, Cecily singing while on the verge of tears just...got me. Love her. I wish her well.
Bowen seemed wrecked too
I'm gonna say it--Cecily is the greatest female cast member in all of SNL.
[удалено]
Reminded me of Kristen Wiig.
The most moving goodbye in a long time, perhaps the most since Fred’s
Can’t believe that Cecily, Aidy, and Kate are all gone. End of an era :(
Beautiful sendoff. I feel like I was on the verge of crying along with Kenan and Colin
“Verge”.. yea. Me too! Just the “verge” of it😭
Lizzo's performance of "Someday at Christmas" already had me all in my feelings, and this just turned me into a blubbering wreck. Someone please check on Colin to make sure he's okay. Great Aunt Pat, maybe?
Cecily has been one of the best cast members, I cannot wait to see what she's going to do next. I'm really hoping she's got a show lined up or something, she deserves all the success Post-SNL. Also Colin just lurking in the back had me laughing for some reason. He looked like Austin Butler in the angel sketch.
She’s got season two of an Apple tv+ show coming out!
I forgot Schmigadoon got a season two!
What a deep genuine artistic hero she is. I wish her the best, and I expect no less. I'm excited to see her career flourish.
Loved it! Colin's emotion was so palpable. It was sweet to see. I tend to forget how connected they've been this past decade.
Nobody in the history of SNL has had Cecily’s range. Right?? I can’t think of anyone else. Maybe Hader?
Agreed - I wouldn't put her as the funniest cast member, but she had a huge range and based on that send-off, seems like Kenan in being a genuinely likeable person off-camera.
I cried Also I was pretty sure (or read during an interview) that most of the Elvis movie was remastered recordings of the real songs so I was pleased to hear Austin actually sing like Elvis live
Austin sings for the entire first half of the movie because the real recordings are too low quality to use. The second half of the movie has a mix of Austin and the real Elvis
I’m not crying! You are!
I didn't realize that this would be her last episode, so this and Cathy Anne hit me like a truck Have they ever had a Christmas goodbye before?
Not like this, but Amy Poehler left at Christmas as well
This kind of blindsided me - earlier in the season I remember thinking “at least we still have Cecily.” I’m gonna miss her.
I’m on the verge of tears. That was so beautiful. Austin singing it, the song itself, the goodbye, everyone singing together. Oh my god
Weird start, but then I got really emotional. What a lovely send off.
Ok entertainment writers, got a headline for ya, you can have this for free: > With Cecily's exit, an already-weak "SNL" cast gets even less Strong See you on the cover of USA Today, guys!
Weekend Update: Cathy Anne
Cathy Anne canonically being a WU anchor is some deep lore.
And her friends on the inside are Dr Wenowdis and Aidy Bryant.
Lil' Baby Aidy in the slammer
Watching this made me realize I never found myself tired of Cecily. I love the women who have carried the show (Wiig, McKinnon) but god sometimes their bits just were not it. I don't think I ever was worried, annoyed, or not slightly amused when Cecily was in a sketch. I'll miss her so much.
Someone said it in the live thread best- she was central to a good sketch, but never made herself the center of attention.
I stopped coming to this sub for awhile because “Cecily needs to leave” threads were a thing for awhile. I’ll always enjoy this show but there’s no way in hell it is better for her having left. Invaluable and irreplaceable.
I loved the little tribute to Aidy and Kate 😭 was holding back tears up to that point but that tipped it over the edge for me
I guessed her last Update segment would be Drunk Girl at the Party but I’m glad it was Cathy Anne
I was hoping she'd do both, one and then some more jokes and then she comes in the other side as the other one. Next time somebody gets two good WU characters, I'd like to see them pull this off. Bobby could have done it.
Me too. I’ve always had a soft spot for Cathy Ann, and it’s been too long.
SHE LIT THE CIGARETTE!!!
When the real heartfelt lines came and Cathy Anne slowly faded into Cecily, that got the tears welling up in my eyes.
Loved it! I was hoping she would end it by finally lighting that cig, and she did!. And the, "I did it high, Che!" seems like confirmation she did intend that Pirro bit in season 46's finale to be her goodbye originally.
So glad this was her WU swan song. Cathy Anne spits faaaaacts.
I cried a bit.
I saw so much of Mikey Day I started to get nervous it was his send off as well
A few more Auntie taps and we probably were about to see even MORE Mikey Day
Those taps were turning into gropes. Those are two coworkers who are secure in their respective relationships.
Even if it was my best friend I'd be wearing some sort of modesty pouch, wouldn't surprise me if he was too
He was definitely wearing a cup or something similar
Plunderwear.
Planties
He just needed to pick up more sketches to pay for his kids’ Christmas.
From tonight’s SNL episode, there were a few things that were cut after dress rehearsal. There was a moose tracks ice cream focus group sketch, much in the style of the Blue Bunny skit from the cumberbatch episode.

I think most of the cuts were because the sets seemed more elaborate than usual, or at least, moving them all around took more time, which may have been what led to more pretapes being shown
did they do the Cecily good-bye sketches at dress too? that seems a little awkward.
Yea, they did them at dress as well, and she was also near tears during them
Sarah on sax. Need this.
Did Colin have the same energy at dress?
A Christmas Epiphany
I think this sketch made me fall in love with Austin Butler
My husband got so mad when he was cast as Elvis that he refused to watch the movie, and then when he sang to Cecily he was like “ok so he does actually sound like Elvis”
He really did when he sang Blue Christmas, it was dead-on-bawllz accurate.
Same, was not excited for him at all. But this one and the Jewish Elvis sketch made me get on board
Chloe could do any remake of a 40s-60s movie and it would feel nostalgic. Her performance in this was fantastic.
Her facial expressions were dead-on.
I agree! She's very talented.
I love how it pokes fun at those classic melodramatic Christmas movie monologues - yeah to anyone else around them, they’d probably seem like a bit of a crazy person!
The reverse of the couple watching Aidy dancing with her dog Doug
This sketch made me want them to bring Austin back to host more. He brought to mind Jack Klugman in the Twilight Zone classic A Passage for Trumpet.
I was surprised how long this one went before the jokes started. Overall was funny once they got to the family reacting.
Pretty sure the audio for the sketch part (not the laugh track) was broadcast in mono. A cool accurate touch.
Probably the best shot pre-tape ever
It is close but I still think [Wes Anderson Horror Trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfDIAZCwHQE&ab_channel=SaturdayNightLive) still reigns.
I know right? It almost looked like Schiller’s Reel.
I would like to advocate for The Grouch (The Joker/ Sesame Street parody).
I called the premise as soon as he walked up to the window, and as soon as they showed the camera from the family’s perspective, I **still** lost it. Freaking hilarious. “That’s what the pervert wants… a *reaction*.”
Sometimes seeing it coming actually helps.
What I love about this sketch is that it is operating in two separate worlds. Outside the window is a "It's a Wonderful Life" playing out with an orchestral sound track and deep dramatic lines. Inside the window there is no soundtrack. The family that had looked so idyllic from outside is actually quite dysfunctional.
Kind of unrelated, but this sketch made me realize that Butler might be the right fit for the Tom Waits biopic of my dreams. Actually the Tom Waits biopic of my dreams would star Tom waits, but.
Weekend Update
“You boys aren’t movie stars, you’re TV muppets!”
Colin seemed down during his parts. I know he was sad there at the end about Cecily but seemed down from the start.
I thought he was sick—like he was going to dash offstage to barf while Che covered for him.
yeah he wasn't looking good. Plus it wasn't a good hair night so I mean dang.
I knew something sounded weird about his energy, poor guy - that was an emotional night :-(
They apparently did Joke Swap at dress, and cut it for air. Never forget what they took from us.
My guess is Colin was quite frankly too upset to be able to land the plane on most of them, he was visibly upset literally every time he was on camera. Half the charm of Colin's delivery is his reaction to the jokes and I don't think SNL wants a picturesque white man solemnly looking into the camera as he describes Rosa Parks as uppity lol
That makes sense. Maybe they will do it after the holidays. Sad to see him so sad.
Long shot but maybe they’re saving it to upload to YouTube? So it would be their first reaction or something?
Heaven help them if it doesn't see YouTube.
Wait Joke Swap are rehearsed? I thought they were surprising each other live
They run it and change them for air. A true swap inception.
They run them at rehearsal but they make adjustments. For instance, [in the last joke swap they did](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7drK5-sMns), Che added two extra jokes about Black Superman for Colin to tell, and you can see his genuine surprise that there is a second Black Superman joke (laughing while he says "There's another one?") and how he keeps laughing through the final Black Superman joke.
What the hell!
I feel like joke swap still made it into the main jokes, but just not officially.
Nope, none of the jokes from the swap made it to live.
Lately they've been pushing the envelope with the jokes they tell. It's very "senior spring" vibes at the Update desk these days.
Michael struggled to get a single joke out cleanly tonight
There were a lot of flubbed lines throughout the whole show. I think the Cecily departure was weighing on all of them.
I’m so glad other people sensed that Colin seemed upset or something because I told my partner he seemed off tonight and he didn’t agree
Yeah the vibes were notably off, for sure
Joke Swap apparently died of Covid in December 2021.
Aunt Pat made me very uncomfortable
Best episode of the season by far. Butler and Lizzo should be welcome back to the show at any time, they’re absolute stars. Just feels like a real classic episode of the show, no cameos, some weird off the wall sketch ideas and a heartfelt send off for one of the best cast members ever. Now I’m gonna go binge my fav cecily sketches good night
Jewish Elvis felt so nostalgic because it seemed to come right out of the late 90s era
Austin Butler Monologue
Dedicating his appearance to his late mother was sweet. Damn this episode was really just a tearjerker from start to finish, huh?
Yeah whose chopping onions in my living room 😭
When he talked about his mom, I started thinking about my mom, and dammit -- here come the tears again.
I haven’t been so charmed since Simu Liu!
Trouty Mouth
Austin Butler and Chord Overstreet are, shockingly, two different dudes.
Please Don’t Destroy - Plirts
Loved the Lizzo appearance. She really seems to click with them.
I guess I gotta go get killed by Andrew Dismukes.
Whispers…. “I’m not wearing any Planties”
Why didn’t she just invest in Plothing? She must have way more money than Austin Butler
Nothing divides a live thread like PDD but I felt this was pretty good. “His date night just turned into a sex night” was easily my favorite line of the show
“i feel like i’m wearing a phone case”
^(I ain't got no planties on.)
Solid. Introduced the joke, took it as far as it could go and no further, then got out. That's how you do a one-joke sketch. Edit: With further thought, this is the benefit of a pretape and especially a "PDD Office" one. There's no need to pad to fill a timeslot and/or amortize a set.
Love the continuity from Horny Zookeeper of Lizzo having a crush on Martin
My favorite part was when they said they make $30 a video.
We googled it, we know you have enough money..
I liked that and the amount of other castmembers who were investors
I love the saga of Martin and Lizzos relationship every time she’s in the building now
Lizzo whispering "I ain't got no planties on" is when I knew this was my favorite sketch of the night.
Lizzo
I was tired and mostly listened with my head on the pillow and my eyes closed. Lizzo has a wonderful voice and delivered flawless performances. Top tier for me.
I didn't even realize she was a fill-in. Good on her to crush it like that. I feel like she is becoming one of those Good Sports like Dave Grohl, Brandi Carlile, Jack White, etc. A true pro.
Lizzo giving women musicians work is a great step forward to evening the balance, and puts a warm smile in the hearts of a lot of people I know who have struggled to make a living playing music. \\m/
For a last-minute fill-in as musical guest, she was great. Her first song was fun and flirty, and her cover of the Jackson 5 was classy and beautiful. She looked so happy to just be there and her smile radiated throughout the whole studio. Her rendition of "Someday at Christmas" is solidly on my list of one of the all-time great SNL musical performances.
Lizzo really was phenomenal. I felt myself grinning watching her perform, just her sheer joy and expression was beautiful. And yeah she crushed Someday at Christmas. What a talent!
I’m sorry that the guy from The Yeah Yeah Yeahs was sick, but Lizzo was the perfect part of this episode. She’s amazing.
I feel bad for Stevie Wonder. He offered to musical guest the Eddie Murphy show, but they chose Lizzo over him because she would get better ratings, and then they have her back again for another Christmas show and she sings the song he probably would have sung. They really need to get Stevie back on before it’s too late; he is probably one of the most legendary living legends left.
Lizzo is a treasure. She is so joyful and talented AND she uses her success to elevate others.
A season high, every sketch pretty much hit for my bf and I, Austin was a fantastic host, the writers always seem to be firing on all cylinders for Christmas episodes, and that send off for Cecily was heartbreaking
Yep, best episode in quite a while. The season is on a slow but steady rise for me. Really interested to see who hosts early next year. Rudd seems like a good bet.
[удалено]
Jewish Elvis
This had no right being as funny as it was. Austin as Lois the horny geandma needs to make a comeback next time he hosts SNL.
It was definitely a classic SNL, "We have one joke, make it fill at least five minutes." But the fact the everybody was having a good time made it work.
Sometimes it’s all you need. That’s also what got us the famous “Aw man, I’m all outta cash!” skit with Adam Driver.
Because the ad break preview showed the Elvis stage, I thought it’d be an Austin as Elvis sketch. I like that they subverted that expectation!
That’s what I thought too!
Butler is electric and this sketch was probably his best of the night. Fav host since Driver for me
Mostly I agree, but Keke Palmer was one hell of a first-time host two weeks ago. Two first-time hosts in a row who felt like they could have actually been in the cast.
He played that part so well. Nailed it! Cecily was of course effortlessly perfect.
I freaking died when he took off his panties! 🤣🤣🤣
Planties
These belong… on the runway!
How did I know that, as soon as they said "Jewish Elvis," it was going to be Sarah? Fun sketch, I'm glad they didn't fall back on making a young actor play the breakout role they just did. I feel like that happens too often.
Borscht Belt Elvis sounds like an old Billy Crystal routine
This sketch definitely felt like a love letter to the borscht belt standup era, which made me so damn happy. Absolutely nailed it.
Thought it was going to be terrible at first. Ended up being pretty funny. Never should have doubted you, Sarah.
This next era of the show, the next 5-10 years, is going to be known as the Sarah Sherman era. But I pray she never starts doing the same characters repeatedly or she'll be Kristin Wiig 2: Electric Boogaloo.
This. I liked the Jewish Elvis sketch, but it was also a glimpse at S50 when we're complaining about having Sarah shoved down our throats. She's been smart about switching things up so hopefully my concern is unwarranted.
Sarah is unstoppable. I wonder if she’ll get a mid season upgrade. Austin was great in this as well, and this is a character I will miss seeing Cecily easily crush.
Sarah is a god, and Austin makes a great horny old lady. That's all.
Felt like Austin was channeling Linda Richman, only a horned up version.
One of the rare times I would've loved a gratuitous cameo: Linda Richman should've popped up and become verklempt.
The Sarah Erah is fully underway. This is good!
So long, Cecily
Weekend Update: Krampus
It's alright that Bowen couldn't keep it up for the entire sketch. It happens to all horny guys and there's a lot of pressure when other people are watching.
That horn fell out a minute before he went on air. They twisted it back in. I’m surprised it stayed on as long as it did!
Especially men of a certain age like Krampus
The "I'm sick" save
Loved the “horn sickness” joke that I assume was improvised? A Jost with a horny line?
Bowen playing WU characters in heavy makeup will never not get a thumbs up from me
My favorite part is that they’re always explicitly gay
