one of the most amazing skits done by SNL. Think about all of the society cliches, gender roles, sexual politics that are going on, and this skit skewers all of them. Both actors, Bowen and Sydney, were gutsy and amazing. Congrats to Bowen, who has been allowed by SNL management to grow and appear in more skits, and demonstrate amazing self-confidence. In the beginning of his tenure I just didn't see him as a strength, but over time, he has created a very strong stage presence. It makes me wonder if when actors "fail" on SNL it can be frequently due to not getting enough time on stage to grow their craft/skills. Congrats, Bowen!
