female alums to host in Season 49, Maya Rudolph once more reminded us just how completely a funny woman can own this show. Especially someone like Rudolph, whose multifarious talents and utter fearlessness marked her out as someone who always made an episode better. Fearlessness oncan backfire, of course—when the writing falters, a performer can be left to sweat and bellow in excruciating isolation out there. Or fart out there, speaking of “backfire.
No, I’ll be even more of a softie by tagging the pre-tape about Rudolph’s exhausted but dutiful mom’s long history of rescuing her daughter from a succession of sleepovers as my sentimental favorite.
Nurses get a shoutout, too, in a similarly affectionate sketch celebrating the unsung heroes of the health care scene. Anyway, Ego and Maya got most of the laughs as a pair of foreign-born nurses dealing with even more crap than their white colleagues. While the other nurses’ workplace stories are filled with hopeful tales of beating cancer, these two stalwarts have to contend with Mikey Day’s wheelchair-bound old coot and his dueling strains of lechery and racism.
