SNL Wario Skit With Elon Musk And Grimes

Saturday Night Live season 46 featured Elon Musk on episode 18. One of the skits was an homage to all the characters in the super Mario video games. Elon Musk played the part of the evil Wario who was on trial for the murder of Mario who is portrayed at the end of this SNL skit by Kenan Thompson.

This sketch is set in a courtroom with Mikey Day playing the defense attorney for the accused and Kyle Mooney as Mario's brother Luigi. Grimes plays the part of Princess Peach who is secretly carrying on a love affair with Luigi. Kate McKinnon plays the best friend of Wario and the other evil character Waluigi. Heidi Gardner gets the role of prosecuting attorney and Cecily Strong plays the judge in the case.

There is also a surprise appearance of Pete Davidson as New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, this episode was created during the time the Governor was going through a scandal that would end his political career.

I didn't really like most of the SNL skits that featured Elon Musk but the cast did a great job of making these sketches funny. At the very least they were not bad and I could get at least a few laughs out of all of them.
