He remembers some of Trumps greatest moments – the McDonalds dinner banquet, the glowing orb, petting a kid dressed as a Minion, the time he cruelly impersonated a disabled reporter – by way of a montage scored to Semisonic’s Closing Time.
MAYA RUDOLPH KAMALA HARRIS UPDATE
Lipa performs Don’t Start Now, before Weekend Update host Colin Jost gets a huge applause off the bat when he announces that “barring a Christmas miracle, this is the last Weekend Update with Donald Trump as president”.
This leads to the Pigeon Lady brutally killing the pair, impaling them over and over with her umbrella in front of a traumatized Kevin.
Kevin McCallister (Melissa Villasenor) realizes he can use his dad’s credit card to help pull the friendly Central Park Pigeon Lady out of poverty, only to be foiled by villains Harry and Marv (Mikey Day and Kyle Mooney, doing pretty solid impressions of Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern). MARJORIE!!!! /fQN7JQJjVR- DUA LIPA December 20, 2020Īfter a sneak preview for the second season of the FX drama A Teacher, in which the target of a teenager’s infatuation is a no-nonsense older black woman who’s having none of it, we are shown the lost ending to Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. There’s no real conclusion, and it all wraps up with a big dance party. This initially confuses the other grunts, but they’re eventually won over. They swap gender roles for the song, a modern club banger about a three-way love affair with musical guest Dua Lipa playing the other member of the threesome. Next, a suburban family raps about the awesome presents they got for Christmas – toe-tap piano, pinball machine, rollerblades, Millennium Falcone toy, a Cameo from McLovin – except for Wiig’s poor, put upon mother, her only gift a marked-down robe, her passive aggressive fury growing with each new line.ĭuring a holiday celebration for troops fighting the second world war, Wiig’s sassy, motor-mouthed army medic performs a duet with “toughest guy in the unit” Bowen Yang. Broadway diva Mindy Grayson biffs the very easy clues while delivering a surprisingly dirty rimming joke. This will delight fans of their era of SNL, although the musical monologue is starting to wear out its welcome by the time McKinnon shows up to sing about chimichangas and tacos.įor the first sketch, SNL brings back the game show Secret Word, a favorite from Wiig’s time. The Wonder Woman 1984 star and new mother of twins sings a nonsense version of My Favorite Things, joined by fellow alumnus Rudolph. This would be a massive mistake, not only because it would continue the show’s over-reliance on guest stars, but also because that characterization of the Biden-Harris dynamic is total wish fulfilment for both dopey liberals and rightwing conspiracy mongers, with no potential for incisive satire.įormer cast member Kristen Wiig takes holiday hosting duties. More disconcerting is the creeping notion that SNL is going to center its cold opens around Rudolph by presenting Harris as the true power behind the throne. That said, Moffat’s first impression left a lot to be desired, more like George W Bush than Biden.
The departure of Carrey’s Biden (and presumably Baldwin’s Trump, although I won’t be surprised if they give him a big send-off when they return next year) brings double relief, mostly because he was insufferable in the role but also because it’s about time the show gives a regular cast member the chance to play the president. Harris has to rush Biden offstage to keep him from injuring himself physically or politically, but they’re replaced by fast and pointless cameos from Kate McKinnon as Rudy Giuliani – the show gets around to making fun of his running hair dye about a month too late – and Kenan Thompson as Ben Carson. They are joined by President-elect Joe Biden, who “looks different” now he’s played by Alex Moffat, rather than Jim Carrey (or Jason Sudeikis or Woody Harrelson or John Mulaney).
