‘SNL’ recap: Adam Driver returns to play piano with creepy baby

Hello, this is it SNL in Review – and tonight’s episode features Adam Driver’s four-time host. He first hosted in early 2020. This time, it’s the first Girls stars are not sold a Star Wars salary payment; instead, it’s a different kind of movie – Ferrarithe latest film from Michael Mann.

The driver has become the rabbit’s foot in many of the most famous auteurs of movies, including Spike Lee, the Coen Brothers, Ridley Scott, Francis Ford Coppola, Clint Eastwood, Steven Spielberg, Jim Jarmusch, Noah Baumbach, Martin Scorsese, and Steven Soderbergh. And like his collaboration with Terry Gilliam – which ended the long run The Man Who Killed Don Quixote — Ferrari invented another type of machine, and Mann found another crack at his theme of work: Solitude and the thoughts of men at work.

Anyway, forgive the distraction – that’s what he’s here to promote! That’s right, when I think of Gen Z avatar Olivia Rodrigo coming back as music royalty, I laugh.

I recently spoke with former actor Taran Killam, who recently returned to Broadway Spamalot in St. James Theatre, where he is playing Lancelot. (A first person SNLIt’s treading into Monty Python territory, not a bad one!) Killam was on the show in the first season of Drivers as host and narrator. sense of humor is “perfect, get the joke right away, especially in the Hidden Manager(He) understood his meaning and sense of humor.”

It’s true. Despite its popularity, award-worthy popularity, the Driver has produced many viral images and memes on its first three. Saturday Night Live part. Come on (wherever you watch), let’s get into it!

Open cold

C-SPAN brings us to a recent Congressional hearing and high-ranking college presidents – Claudine Gay (Ego Nwodim), Sally Kornbluth (Heidi Gardner), Liz Magill (Chloe Fineman) – are challenged to on their educational, out-of-touch ideas about resistance. -Semitism on campus. Chloe Troast is absolutely riveting as the historical and inappropriate Elise Stefanik.

The only one who is willing to say yes to anything is Kenan Thompson, president of the University of Phoenix. Its campus is internet, but their model likes to say yes to anything. The crowd seemed unsure of how to react to this cold weather, but enjoyed Kenan’s appearance. (Killam told me that he remains a big fan of Kenan as an actor and a person: “At writing night, his office is where you usually go.) be there to check in. never poo-poo, but always give helpful advice on how to make it work.

Taylor Swift is dating Marco Rubio?!

Monologue

The driver is happy to return to SNL— especially at this time of year. He takes the opportunity to speak directly to Santa, who knows watching the show. (He doesn’t like it since Chris Kattan left.) The actor serenades Old Saint Nick on the piano, checks his movie credits and asks people to stop blaming him on the street. killing Han Solo. Wokeness did that, not him.

Trust the driver to carry this – otherwise, it’s very simple. Now, play the piano outside. He got a joke about Santa killing those couples on TikTok who insult each other.

“We try”

An adults-only ski trip in a cozy cabin. Heidi Gardner and Michael Longfellow say they are trying for their next baby. Don’t come knocking! Then we stayed inside the place. Bowen Yang and Driver shared theirs too try. They have been questioned by other couples, since two men cannot have children. “For us… for now… for us… for now,” they said. Surely they should mean substitution or adoption, but they don’t.

The anger at being questioned is something that has happened. “People think they can ask gay people anything,” Yang fumes. “Things change so fast in the scientific community!” I get where he’s going, but not much is happening beyond his grasp. However.

Did anyone else think we’d get an Andy Milonakis comment tonight?!

“Old Friends”

Jake (Mikey Day) returns home for the holidays and starts thinking about Keith (Driver), an old friend from childhood. Keith is open to hooking up again – and then the weird text about the bar they go to. He seems to be a completely sane person now, complete with a Netflix documentary about his crimes. Very nice! Typical Mikey Day show here – growing nervous.

Devon Walker is great as Big Filthy – and there’s a funny scene about Facebook.

“Beep Beep”

“Beep beep!” Andrew Dismukes and Driver square off on putting food on the holiday table. Since the Driver is the host, he thinks he has the right. Many holiday slogans and rules are created because none of them back down. A fight to the death is set.

Love Driving and Dismukes insulting tutorial book here – the text is perfect, too. It’s just the right level of social anxiety and increasing stupidity.

“ShopTV Christmas”

Game Day Trading Times and several media outlets (Days and Gardner). The Delaney Chocolates Santa is introduced by Dean (Car) and looks like a big dick. Yes, that kind of picture – humor. That might be right up your alley, so if you like it, feel free to check it out. Think of this as a visual image of the South Ball Schweddy. Day is wondering how to eat without becoming a meme, after Kenan calls and asks to taste it on air.

James Austin Johnson is very funny in his brief role. And nothing, more people had to watch I love that for you.

Olivia Rodrigo does “Vampire”

This pop-rock jam is the lead single from Rodrigo’s new album, Gutswhich has just received six Grammy nominations.

When we spoke with Taran Killam, he talked about his family’s deep appreciation for Olivia Rodrigo, saying: “We know Poisonous all right. We know the whole thing Poisonous album and that was one that Cobie (Smulders) and I listened to and so we managed a little bit. An album that is close to perfect. It’s true. The way it was represented Small Pill Small, very different sound, a little different effect, but that kind of young woman, tough, romantic thing – it’s a good listen! I called Paramore “Good 4 U” (effect) – I could hear that right away. My daughters say, ‘Who cares? It’s a good song.”

On the new project, he said: “‘Vampire’ is also good. We are still learning. The new album has very beautiful music. We have not lived together for a long time in our bone… he’s a celebrity. The Killam-Smulders family is Rodrigoheads.

Nice performance here – just a piano, stage smoke, and Rodrigo.

Update of the week

Colin Jost and Michael Che started talking about the news about Hunter Biden’s new impeachment. Other topics include: Eric Adams, Jeffrey Epstein’s flight, and Shohei Ohtani signing with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Rock Day! Alaska Airlines! flat ass!

The rate of depression among American men is at an all-time high. Marcello Hernandez came to make a statement – he grew up in a family with four women and he knows that they support each other in a way that men do not. It’s a stretch, but it’s a nice way to frame his position. The crowd ate it up. Nice kinetic performance.

Chloe Fineman also appeared – in front of the desk! She has a unique gift idea for the holidays: Make the end of the street palette from the end of Save the Last Dance. This opens things up for the anchor Renewal to discuss the absurdity of the film, but Devon Walker to manage Sean Patrick Thomas’ Derek. Cameo alert! There are no spoilers but Julia Stiles shows up and dances with Fineman. It would be great if you went to school when this movie was popular! (Like me.) Teen movies were better back then!

“Airplane Baby”

Sarah Sherman has apologized for bringing her 11-month-old son on the plane. The other passengers are not just turned off, but disturbed. She was pregnant for two whole years, which is why she looks like an adult. It doesn’t help Stewie’s way of driving Family Guy — half of the jokes are Driver seeing funny facts about the baby, the other half is how. It’s great, even if it’s a bit of a crutch. The pay is also worth it.

One thought: They keep casting Sherman in the usual roles of mother and girlfriend, don’t they? Of course she’s cool and warm on air, so that works… but I’d like to see more weird opportunities with Sarah Squirm.

Someone has to think about it how Baby K does it how are you today?

Olivia Rodrigo makes “All-American Bitch”

Now we have some real pop-punk cosplay. This is the starting track Guts. Here, we have a Alice in Wonderland kind of set, and Rodrigo withers on a nice display of dinner, licking grape juice from his hands.

Previously, he made his first guest appearance on the last episode of season 46, hosted by Keegan-Michael Key, performing his songs “Drivers License” and “Good 4 U”. .

“Elder PSA”

Thousands of adults fall for TikTok scams every day. They give evidence and we see their pain and anger, along with cutting themselves.

The driver is as funny as a decorated veteran (especially since he’s ex-military!). “The kids at Walmart shouldn’t scare me,” he said. “I’m trying to buy a picture frame for my wife!”

Poor James Austin Johnson milked himself because Marcello Hernanez challenged him to name a woman. Meanwhile, the elder Molly Kearney is preparing a plate of food for the second coming of Jesus. Sad!

“Little Donkey”

Another informative post! Ego Nwodim and Marcello Hernandez are selling ridiculous bags that cannot be used. “Now available in medium!” Consider the image of the cell phone.

The former star of Disney Channel Olivia Rodrigo has also come up – her bag is so small that it’s just a secret.
