![]() ![]() This obviously must be a recording of a sketch performed at dress rehearsal, because there’s no possible way Antonio could’ve gotten changed so fast from the end of the preceding sketch to the beginning of this one, with no commercial break in between. Seems like it would be better left as a fun one-off, much like Rachel’s automated voice recording bit. Given tonight’s host, I can understand why they’re bringing this back, but I’m wary on whether this will hold up well as a recurring sketch. ![]() Talk about the random return of a sketch, we now get the return of a one-off sketch from two seasons prior with Christina Aguilera. Gardener’s (host) bare chest spurs passionate reactions Overall, aside from the addition of Fred, this sketch was just an inferior re-write of the first installment of this. I do like the new addition of Fred as the Spanish voice recording option. So far, this sketch is just hitting the exact same beats from the first installment, and it’s not working for me quite as well this time. They’re bringing back this automated phone voice recording character of Rachel’s? I found this sketch really charming and fun the first time they did it earlier this season, but this doesn’t feel like something that needed to be done a second time. ![]() Not sure I understood the ending with Fred’s Mandel angrily storming off after he accidentally called the show “No Deal or Deal” instead of “Deal or No Deal”.Īt a party, automated phone menu voicer Julie collects info from (host) Both Fred and Antonio are slaying me in this sketch. I love Antonio as the very confused contestant who keeps failing to understand how this game is played. Hilarious little bit with Fred’s Mandel panicking when Antonio opens the briefcase as soon as he receives it. Very funny portrayal of Howie Mandel by Fred, even if I’ve never seen the real Howie Mandel act remotely like that. I didn’t laugh all that much after a while.Ĭontestant (host) doesn’t understand how to play Overall, funny performances from Will and Amy, and the usual strong voice-over work from Chris, but there wasn’t much to this trailer, even though that was the whole point. I love Will’s delivery of “Close that up for me” in regards to Amy’s Sharon Stone having her legs wide open. Surprised this is over already, but I’m glad they kept this short and sweet, given the questionable premise.īASIC INSTINCT 2: THE RETURN OF THE BEAVERīasic Instinct 2 keeps the focus on Sharon Stone’s (AMP) crotch Antonio is winning me over on this iffy premise, with his very fun and charming commitment. No idea what to say about this big and very random reveal of Antonio being a woman, complete with him ripping off his suit to reveal a full-on dress underneath. A funny opening line from Antonio about how tonight is probably the beginning of the end of his career. Host removes his male clothes & reveals that he is actually a woman I will say that I really like Seth’s VERY energetic “Live from New York…” at the end of this. Also, his comedic lines at the beginning and end of these Anderson Cooper 360 sketches always fall flat with the audience. Also as usual, Seth’s Anderson Cooper is a bland straight man, having no actual reactions to the crazy things his guests say. Another ugh from me towards Kenan, because, as usual, Kenan is playing this black female role in the EXACT SAME generic and tired “sassy” manner that he plays almost every other black woman. By the way, this is sign #1 that Maya is not in the building tonight, as this particular role of Cynthia McKinney definitely would’ve gone to her, but since she’s out this week (she’ll be missing both this AND the next episode, as she asked Lorne for some more time off to spend at home with her new baby), SNL had to resort to throwing Kenan into drag to portray a black woman who’s in the headlines. Some good lines from Antonio Banderas here, and it’s nice to see the host in a cold opening like this. A laugh from Jason’s vague line about finding a “labor force” willing to build the Mexican border wall. A sketch in 2006 joking about building a wall on the Mexican border? Hoo, boy. Vicente Fox (host) & Cynthia McKinney (KET) Segments are rated on a scale of 1-5 stars ![]()
