Molly Shannon returns for a feel-good SNL. Read DennisPerkins5's review:
in schools? I’m a dark sorcerer and I was even like, ‘Jesus dude, it’s Rosa Parks.’”) Mocking a power-mad mini-despot’s hypocrisy likely only makes the little creep happy, but Yang, bathed in dramatic red light, hammily skewering the Republican’s ever-growing list of outrages in a very funny, sure-of-virality Update piece is at least going to irritate the right people.: Season 48 hasn’t been bowling me over, but it’s also been blessedly free of sketches that make me scowl at the screen.
Lots of correspondents tonight. Bowen Yang’s gets his own entry, so that leaves Punkie Johnson’s take on recent NCAA hoops champ and white conservatives’ latestlightning rod, LSU star Angel Reese and Heidi Gardner’s newest Update character, The Co-Worker Who’s Extremely Busy Doing Seemingly Nothing.
, but Shannon never lifts the mask of her hopelessly untalented comedian to give a glimpse of the despair underneath. I love Mooney’s Chandling, but Shannon’s commitment to the bit is even more daringly“Governor Bush, I listened very carefully to the Vice President’s remarks, and I honestly do not believe he messed with Texas.”Finding a proper framing device for James Austin Johnson’s Trump is a necessityhas at least fitfully applied itself to doing in the post-Baldwin days.
Of the rest, Kenan made me laugh the most, while Gardner and Yang’s Update pieces were both stellar stuff. James Austin Johnson had his Trump and Graham, and even a role as a non-famous person in the valet sketch. At the wire, it’s Kenan.—10-To-One Report
