This sketch reminds me of those lonely nights after Pa was killed in the mineshaft collapse back in the winter of '63. I was 7, still a year too young to take over his job. Thank god Mama canned beans from the garden the summer before or we'd have starved. I'd lay in bed listening to the cold snowy wind howl through the chimney at night, thinking I'd hear Pa's voice in the howl, screaming for help from somewhere deep in that mine. We had just enough kerosene to keep one lantern lit each night until spring, when the roads became passable again. One night I waited for Mama to fall asleep, put on Pa's old boots, and wandered out into the moonlit drifts of snow, trudging through the woods, listening for Pa's voice. 'Course I'd never hear the howls out there. Frozen to the bone with tears in my eyes, I'd trudge back home before frostbite set in. And lay in bed beneath that flickering light, where Pa would haunt my ears until dawn, screaming from somewhere deep in the belly of those cold dark hills, trying to find his way home. It's like that. This sketch reminds me of that.

Then you see a girl from another school give you a wink and a grin. She walks on over to you because you're a bit shy but that's what she likes. You have a little dance and share your first kiss with her. Then her parents pick her up and you realise you didn't get her phone number or name. No one knows who you're talking about but in the end that doesn't matter. You have yourself the perfect little happy memory that no one else can have and that makes you smile...this is that...this skit is like that....

That was really one of the most beautiful and perfect skit I have ever seen. So creative. Lovely. They really perfectly completed the commendable task to make the skit both funny and deep at the same time.

[@MultiZelda13]

Not sure there's been a certified banger of a sketch this season until this one. Incredible premise done with amazing precision. Totally on point

[@kitlc1]

SNL writers: So, Benedict, any characters you wanna play? Benedict: Well, there’s this guy who had thoughts about one of my movies…

Ya, they're definitely f***ing with Sam Elliot a bit.

@@canaisyoung3601 Sam Elliott slammed the Oscar-nominated film _The Power of the Dog_ in an interview on Marc Maron's podcast _WTF_ when Maron asked him whether he liked _The Power of the Dog_ . “You want to talk about that piece of s---?” Elliott said when Maron brought up the film. Jane Campion’s neo-Western psychodrama, which was nominated for best picture, follows a Montana rancher, a closeted gay man battling his own toxic masculinity played by Benedict Cumberbatch. Elliott described Campion as a “brilliant director” and said he loved her previous work. But he questioned her perspective. “What ... does this woman from down there ... New Zealand, know about the American West?” Elliott asked. “And why ... did she shoot this movie in New Zealand and call it Montana and say, ‘This is the way it was?’ That rubbed me the wrong way, pal. Elliott compared the film’s depiction of cowboys to Chippendale dancers and seemed perturbed by Benedict Cumberbatch’s portrayal of a closeted gay ranch hand. That’s what all these fucking cowboys in that movie looked like… They’re running around in chaps and no shirts. There’s all these allusions of homosexuality throughout the movie,” Elliott said at the time. “Where’s the western in this western?” Elliott later expressed his regret for voicing strong criticism for Jane Campion’s western, extending apologies to her, Benedict Cumberbatch, and the gay community. “I wasn’t very articulate about it. I didn’t articulate it very well,” Elliott said. “I said some things that hurt people and I feel terrible about that… I [said] that I thought Jane Campion was a brilliant director. I want to apologize to the cast of _The Power of the Dog_ - brilliant actors all, in particular Benedict Cumberbatch… I can only say that I’m sorry and I am. I am.” Elliott went on to apologize for how his comments were received by the gay community. “The gay community has been incredible to me my entire career. And I mean by entire career, from before I got started in this town. Friends on every level, in every job description - up until today, with my agent, my dear friend of a number of years. I’m sorry that I hurt any of those friends and someone I loved and anyone else by the words that I used,” Elliott continued.

That was beautiful. Im laughing, but I'm also crying on the inside, and filled with cool, crunchy bits of longing. I believe they're calling this Ginger Peach Sorbet?

Every sketch from this episode is gold. Romance novel over ice cream samples was everything I needed and more!

this really just shows that Benedict is such an amazing actor that he can play this character with a straight face the whole time.

Heidi Gardner has some serious acting chops. She will go far post snl hopefully.

Like Jason sudakis and Steve Carrel.

[@DunmoresMovieMania]

She is wasting her hot youth on this show - she needs to get outa there NOW and get a good agent and become a star!

Oh wow, this is totally making fun of the Blue Bell Ice Cream radio commercials! My friends and I used to joke like this. Make up the most twisted and heartbreaking memories we could imagine and then sing the jingle 🎶 Blue Bell Tastes Just Like The Good Old Daaaaays” 🎵 🤣 oh man, I haven’t laughed this hard in years. Thank you SNL. You nailed it. 👏👏👏

I figured they were making fun of Midwesterners and Blue Bunny in general. Funny eitherway.

[@YarrBr0]

Heidi Gardner is such a good actor; honestly I hope that she does some dramatic acting someday

[@jdj830]

It’s funny because she wasn’t any sort of theater kid, she started performing later in life and was trained in improv, not classical acting….and yet I could easily see her doing a play by Chekhov or Thornton Wilder or Sam Shepherd. She completely immerses herself in her roles and clearly has a sophisticated understanding of text analysis. She’s a real actor AND she’s funny as hell. She needs to break out and be the star she is. (But then so do Cecily, Kate, and Aidy, who have been on SNL far longer than Heidi…I guess Hollywood is a tough place for a woman no matter how talented you are….)

[@AbbaZabbaOlyFrn]

She's scary good when she plays angry characters on SNL. Like when she's an upset wife confronting her husband you can hear the anger and frustration in her voice

They remind me of the synopsis of those cozy, soft 80s Hallmark romance stories about the lovers living in a rural small town with dark tragic pasts and wanting to relive that small spark of romance once more in thier dull boring middle-aged lives. That, and it tasted like Pumpkin Peacon Pie ice cream

This sketch is like a breath of fresh air. Like the breeze coming in the window at your grandmother's bedside in the ward, when she gave you her last kiss. And the sound of her voice whispering your name in her reed of a voice, and the sunlight coming through the window, so bright on her papery skin...this is that. this sketch feels like that.

Mikey is hilarious 🤣 the way he says okaay is always funny to me. His facial expressions and tone of voice is just always on point. The entire cast is great and this sketch is comedic gold through and through.
