Cayden - SNL

[@tian__theron]

Kudos to that kid for nailing his line live on air.

[@SalisburySnake]

Well he's not 4, so that helps.

[@SeltzerFamily]

Just like the cast members, he read all of his lines off of a cue card.

[@tchaugn]

@@SeltzerFamily .... and?

[@emmittmorgans8076]

This sketch was "cut for time" which means it didn't make it to air, so this was the dress rehearsal.

[@chrisdalton5646]

​@@SeltzerFamilyYes, because the material gets constantly rewritten all week up until a minute before air.

[@reneadinaro8183]

Is that what's going on? I don't get the joke in this skit! When the f*ck does the funny start? People putting fake things about their kids on the computer is a thing? Ok, but who givea a sh*t? Either I'm old and retarded or the rest of the world is stupid. Someone Hollar back.
