Season 45 Episode 7 Host Will Ferrel Musical Guest King Princess
This week's Saturday Night Live Featured several past SNL cast members such as Maya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch, Fred Armison and oh, it was hosted by Will Ferrel. The musical guest King Princess was better than the host!
I did enjoy the democratic debate scene where the past cast members were on stage and my favorite current SNL cast member Melissa Villasenor played Rachel Maddow. Maya Rudolph was great as Kamala Harris and Kate McKinnon is always great as Elizabeth Warren. And for a moment I thought Bernie Sanders played by Larry David was actually on the stage.
The Trump Impeachment press conference was not actually that funny, but Will Ferrell as Sondland was actually quite a good match. Will's monologue was not good and Weekend Update was great as always. (I'm not biased I swear)
The Wizard of Oz sketch was cute with Will playing the Wizard of Munchkinland and Dorothy trying hard to be politically correct.
I think there was a restaurant sketch and a Thanksgiving day sketch as well with Will Ferrell meeting Pocohantus' family for the first time. Oh and a party sketch where Will plays the part of akward teacher who shows up at young people's party while the parents are away. It actually made me chuckle because it reminded me of a person in the town I live in-he is sort of always there-and without his wife, it is funny and wierd and creepy all rolled up into one old tall person. Since I am here-I also have to comment on Will Ferrell commenting on the famous cowbell sketch from years ago. He said Christopher Walken told him he would be in a restaurant and the waiter would ask him if he needed more cowbell.
Several news articles took off with this and said it "ruined him" or "angered him" etc etc.The articles are kind of ridiculous especially when they are going off what one person said they heard someone else say in a conversation. HEY!!!!!!!
Also I feel silly in admitting that I always forget that Jimmy Fallon was in the Cowbell sketch and it just makes it that much funnier as Will Ferrell was recounting it on the Tonight show With Jimmy Fallon!
(I get excited about the little things, but not the big things)
And now I will view sketch's that were cut for time:
Cast List
Jeans Commercial
and
Date in Mexico.
I will post the best one next.
