Saturday Night Live Skit Star Trek Spinoff

 Star Trek has been one of the television shows that Saturday Night Live has parodied many times throughout the years. John Belushi did captain Kirk and Patrick Stewart was on the show himself when he did a spoof that made fun of his own character from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

This new skit centers around two self centered white twenty somethings that just graduated from a exclusive starfleet training academy. The young crewmembers are played by Carey Mulligan and Mikey Day. As the ship faces certain destruction by being pulled closer and closer to a blackhole the duo continuously wreaks chaos on the bridge by making themselves the center of fake drama.

This is not the best Star Trek skit I have seen SNL come up with but it has some good laughs. The whole cast comes out for this one with Beck Bennett playing the captain, Kate McKinnon as the 1st officer and the rest of the crewmembers are filled in by Ego Nwodim, Alex Moffat, Bowen Yang and Chloe Fineman.

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.
