Damn, Kenan! That ending note was perfect!

[@johnjekyllson28]

That was actually a pretty strong A.

[@Myron90]

All jokes aside it was something amazing. I've got goosebumps

[@mariahelizabeth_ent]

He blew them out the water!

[@kylehd7]

God-damn!!

[@arothmanmusic]

We need him playing Pseudolous.

[@bailzzzzzz]

Props to the costume department, for making sure every male cast member had a matching outfit that fitted them just horribly enough to make the skit work. Also how about that high note from Keenan at the end? Guy has some pipes

[@tkdtrickster2]

if you ever have the pleasure of attending - the show opens with a musical note starring kenan

[@jasonlogan5622]

He doesn't sing enough. What's up with that?

[@bailzzzzzz]

@@jasonlogan5622 it's a tragedy baby, and I got to say!! Ooooh weeeee

[@marlaalbrecht5516]

Not one comment about how accurate this is: the low bar for average ordinary 'meh' men and the high bar for women

[@hellbestie]

It's so so true, the double standards are crazyy

[@Hazel_ChaosFox]

A womens bra strap should never be seen by the public but men running around with their boobs out lol

[@kingtutancamon3775]

I don’t know if that applies today so much. As a man I also think I’m subjected to a lot of standards, perhaps less than women but still.

[@Extremely_Shawol]

​@kingtutancamon3775 I really don't think you know half the things women deal with. Men look better with makeup too ( look at kpop) and yet women are expected to wear it daily or else they look too "plain" or "ugly". Women are expected to be much more in shape, have their hair always look nice, etc. I agree that men are judged on looks to some degree, but their personality and talents are taken a lot more into account than women's are. There is a really intense pressure for women regarding their looks that often causes women to undertake risky diets all just to lose a couple pounds. It's so bad...

[@cmm12344]

I am a gay who's drunk at 3am and instead of going to sleep I decided to watch tonight's SNL, and this sketch was 1000% made for me and I feel seen

[@MrBilboDent]

Lmao at Bowen smiling so hard while singing “each one cuter than the last” when he’s the last in line 😂

[@NobodyC13]

Kenan's character has the energy of someone showing shock and disgust at discovering a new kink/fetish and a few minutes later realizes he likes it.

[@ninjachannel007]

Well said. A little...too well said. 🙂

[@sergiodelrioreyes7655]

That’s not his energy, that’s literally his character

[@greenAbbot]

@@sergiodelrioreyes7655 You know that you can have a character written wit the intent of being a certain way but the actor fails to give off the right energy to convey it to the audience, right? I agre with @NobodyC13.

Jake is extraordinary. He’s in all those crime movies, but he also does Broadway musicals. And he’ll be appearing soon as Iago to Denzel’s Othello.

Right 😂

That stuff with the different outfits is straight out of the Beautiful Girl number from Singin' in the Rain 😂

I’m so glad someone else recognized the melody! I don’t think the mouth breathers in the studio audience realized.

[@gljm]

@@Pww642 I don't think they're necessarily "Mouth Breathers" just way too young.

[@misteria8]

The voice, the commitment on every character, Jake can do anything ❤!

[@soniamorales9077]

Jake is such a wonderful actor; and as years passing by, he is as good as it gets.

[@mizstories9646]

I love that the last name is "McDonalds", plural.

[@zachisosum]

lmfao yeah noticed that too

[@GrotrianSeiler]

I was a little distracted by how good Jake’s singing voice is. Nice!

[@Raven9940]

I think this may have been Jake’s idea, since he’s a big Sondheim fan. I saw him in Sunday in The Park With George and he was amazing

[@rachelhart3531]

Maybe idk, I was thinking it had Bowen written all over it.

[@sws212]

​@@rachelhart3531 They write it but the actors come in with ideas all the time. He was also in the airport musical sketch when Mulaney hosted a while back so he probably wanted to do it again.

[@kristajohnson9173]

I was thinking that somewhere somehow, John Mulaney definitely caused this. Gylenhall was straight up just doing Mr. Music from Sack Lunch Bunch.

[@Raven9940]

@@kristajohnson9173 ohh that’s a great idea! Mulaney loves Sondheim too!

[@bryanwofford3815]

Now that's professional SNL comedy. Infinitely beyond that of when everyone's laughing at themselves. Reminds me of the classic Not Ready for Prime Time Players. Thanks to each and every one of you. I totally adore it!♥

[@Frogs84]

Longfellow is ridiculously beautiful boy but also wildly angular which makes it hilarious

[@lb5368]

Marcello outshines the drab clothes and wig with his hips alone

[@cbpd89]

This was a pristine Busby Berkeley parody number. I can't get over how good this is.

[@batgurrl]

Jake actually has a good voice for that ‘song’. I love my favorite man Bowen Yang at the end. Kenan held that sketch together with his surprise appearance

[@highroller-jq3ix]

Nothing held that sketch together.

[@quokka_11]

They did him dirty tho. "Each one cuter than the last." Bowen was the last. 😆

Then to have all guys really playing up their "attributes" got me cracking up!!! Kenan hitting that note at the end reminded me of him as the lobster in the "Les Miz" diner bit!!!!
