Saturday Night Live Skit Season 36 The Talk

This season 36 Saturday Night Live skit is from episode 17. It's from the episode hosted by Zach Galifianakis. He plays an audience member that has his birthday ruined because he has been fooled into watching a live episode of the talk instead of his favorite show the view.

This is a parody skit of the same show that appears on CBS on the afternoon. One of the running jokes is that they aren't that other show. Julie Chen is played by Kristen Wiig. She does a very laid back impersonation of her. Abby Elliott is Leah Remini, Vanessa Bayer portrays Sara Gilbert and Nasim Pedrad does a cartoonish version of Sharon Osbourne. Kenan Thompson even drops in as Whoopi Goldberg

All in all this is a great parody of the CBS talk show. Things really get funny when Zach Galifianakis pops up. He seems to be playing his character from The Hangover in this one. I haven't seen the full episode with him hosting yet but this looks like it might be a good one.

MacGruber Coronavirus SNL Will Forte Skit

 Former cast member Will Forte is hosting Saturday Night Live in this season 47 episode 11 show. If you're a fan of his beloved character MacGruber then you will love this new Coronavirus and conspiracy theory inspired skit.

In this sketch MacGruber is trying to diffuse a bomb. He fails but is somehow caught in a time loop where he comes back after each explosion. It seems each time he returns he has become even more entrenched in Alt-Right conspiracy theories.

After the first attempt at disarming the bomb he comes back believing that Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine are the cures for the covid19 he has become infected with.

By the end he has become the QAnon Shaman and is spouting all sorts of nonsense about celebrities eating babies. 

This is a great skit featuring Kristen Wiig and Ryan Phillippe as MacGrubers partners. I can't get enough of this character and I hope we see Will Forte doing many more ofcthese in the coming years.
