Colin Jost comes off as a nice guy from Staten Island, but he showed signs of being a true New Yorker during yesterday’s Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live.
Last week on Wheel of Fortune, a contestant accidentally knocked Ryan Seacrest during a winning hug.
Well, Jost, who hosts his own game show, Pop Culture Jeopardy, had a message for anyone who plans to do that to him. Don’t you dare do that to him because he has a gun behind his podium. So if you win, celebrate with the two people you are playing with, not Mr. Scarlett Johansson.
This is Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary year, so a lot of past primetime players have been coming back to say hi!
This week was no different. Adam Sandler made a surprise cameo (his first since he hosted in 2019) to support his friend and former SNL castmate, Chris Rock, who was hosting yesterday’s show.
Sandler played a man who was getting a botched operation, and someone gave him a hose that had an unlimited supply of blood in it. And he used it on everyone who was in the skit! So much so that the Terrifier franchise has nothing on that sketch!
While the skit might not have been the best, seeing them all have fun made it worth it.
Yesterday was Saturday Night Live’s first episode since the election. Therefore, the cast and crew wanted the president-elect to know that they, all but Michael Che, voted for him.
They made it very clear that he was always their first choice and that they will only portray him in a positive light from now on.
And I bet you he totally believes them, which was the point of the scary cold open that was also funny. Shhh! Don’t tell.
And poor Elon Musk’s feelings were hurt by Dana Carvery’s accurate portrayal of him. Why are they all so thin-skinned? Man up! I am so over them telling me that they are the real men when they act like such pussies. Grow a pair! Mine are bigger than yours, and I am a woman. Hear me roar!
Have you ever wondered what would happen if you drank milk from the Duane Reade in Penn Station? We know now, thanks to Saturday Night Live. What happens? You get one of the most brilliant skits on SNL with Pete Davidson and John Mulaney.
Just when you think they couldn’t do another politically incorrect parody of a Broadway musical number, they did. I laughed out loud, and my cat got scared.
So, the moral of this sketch is not to drink milk from Penn Station. If you do, you might get really trippy and write the best bit of your career. And you won’t be able to do it again without drinking that milk. And the doctors at Bellvue told you you might die if you die because it is poison.
We are days away from the election, and Vice President Kamala Harris made a last-minute stop at Saturday Night Live yesterday.
The future President of the United States had some reflection time with her doppelganger Maya Rudolph, and she learned what her what her laugh really sounds like!
I love having a President who can laugh at herself. And not one who doesn’t understand why we are laughing at him.
