Woody Harrelson on SNL: 3 sketches you have to see
did as host of the 45th season premiere. As always, these aren’t necessarily the best sketches, but the ones you have to see. These are the water cooler sketches, the one that for better or worse cut through the clutter and keep people talking until the next episode airs.sketches that use half of its run time to introduce every individual character, this took a long time to get going. But once the four leading Democratic candidates got center stage, this sketch took off like a rocket.
It helps that Harrelson , Larry David , and Maya Rudolph all killed their performances, with sharp writing giving each distinctive, meme’able moments. From Harris’ continued pitches of potential TV shows based on her catchphrases, Sanders’ angry odes to his measured pace of action , and Biden’s inability to understand why he’s now a complicated candidate , the comedic hits kept coming.
Could this sketch have simply skipped the extended intros of candidates that may not matter by Thanksgiving? Probably. But this 10-minute sketch was like an extended Grateful Dead jam that meandered for a while before hitting some incredible peaks. Patience can be a virtue. So many people broke during this sketch that even Jimmy Fallon said aloud at home to no one in particular, “Well, that’s a bit much.
Still! There’s something incredible about seeing so blatant a on-air screw-up as this. There’s something beautiful about it, because the number of times yousee something like this is approximately 10,000. Doing this show live is like walking a tightrope while blindfolded while on a unicycle while a hundred angry wasps swirl around your head. We should see awkward costume changes all the time. The poor woman that stumbles on around 4:40 in this video missed her mark by two seconds.
However, this error hid the incredible meta nature of this sketch that made it initially fascinating. This is a sketch about a talk show in which a lone voice insisted nothing was going to happen to Trump. Yet, all one needs to do is look at the initial few episodes of the 42nd season ofto see a similar instance of false bravado. Spoiler alert: THEY HAVE NOT AGED WELL.
