'SNL': Rami Malek, Keenan Thompson and Daniel Craig Compete in “Prince-Off”

in a Jordan Peele-directed horror film/biopic during one of the more memorable sketches from the third episode of SNL’s new season.

Thompson, Craig and Malek all played themselves, while Chris Redd took on the role as Peele with Punkie Johnson and Ego Nwodim playing casting directors. The skit began with Thompson and Malek being told to take part in a “Prince Off. They played the opening riff of Prince’s hit “Kiss” while also simultaneously miming out ridiculous actions like getting “pelted in the face with a football” or “stepping on a lego.”

Malek — of course familiar with playing rockstars in biopics, winning an Oscar for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody — played was a more convincing Purple One according to Redd, but Redd said he didn’t want to cast a white actor for the role. As they were deliberating, Craig, who stars as James Bond in the franchise’s latest filmopposite Malek, then took the stage dawning a medieval style getup, misunderstanding the sort of prince he’d be playing.

Watched 'no time to die' Friday night. A load of Garbage IMO. Same old storyline regurgitated. I would question some of the casting. Struggled to stay awake. My Son did fall asleep.
