Christmas Charity - SNL

[@bashful_michael]

The twist was so good! I thought something bad was going to happen to one of them but this was much better and unexpected.

[@princesszoeylynn]

I know right! The ending is so funny.

[@linusmlgtips2123]

I thought he'd get run over or something haha

[@wealthytax9203]

For realz

[@ChristianNelsonn]

Arrested Development did it first.

[@Dubbsteppa21]

ye and someone else probably did it before them

[@samwalker4913]

I totally thought she was molding him to be her assistant and the last scene would be here shouting at him to get her coffee and pick up her dry cleaning.

[@sayeedkhalshi]

You remember Bernie and Marjorie?

[@Jo-chilin]

Oh that would've been good

[@mtalhaawais]

Sam Walker Honestly, that would've been better than what they did.

[@simransangha8668]

Me too

[@entropias_gonos]

Wouldn't that be funnier?

[@JayColor]

Hobo James Franco looks like Regular Casey Affleck.

[@sharp9020c]

I clicked cuz I thought it was Casey Affleck😂

[@kankolinka]

Also surprised it wasn't Casey 😂😂

[@lumen8341]

I thought it was him in the thumbnail too.

[@Tojoj22]

Jay Color - So funny James Franco used to be homeless

[@dewitthobson2279]

Funny!

[@sadstormtrooper]

Cecily has proven time and again that she can singlehandedly carry a sketch. Love you so much Cecily❤

[@kozzy1764]

Leave it to James Franco to make the punch line of the entire skit : “James Franco “ lol

[@splendidtorch7800]

to be fair, Seth Rogen has also made the punchline of an SNL sketch "I'm James Franco", so it's not just him

[@fluteloop6737]

Yup, total clown. Should've quit after Freaks and Geeks

[@Jiajinpin]

“Merry Christmas James Franco”... Cecily just melt my heart down

[@JordanGalle]

That was one of the best twists ever, and truly sweet.

[@UnwovenSleeve]

Watching this skit a second time knowing the punchline, you really start to see Franco’s point of view. This chick just came up and assumed he was homeless and bought him a bunch of stuff and invited him to her home. All he did was just come along, even tried to walk away at one point

[@roguesheep3083]

New tradition : saying "get out, james franco" to departing guests.

[@mikophilo348]

SNL writers are better at movie type scripts than live sketch segments.

[@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu]

Yes indeed

[@melvina628]

Yes. It seems they are two distinct crafts, HR.

[@crouchingturtle6351]

I'm guessing they probably work on movies as well.

[@bradmodd7856]

they are free to do more, they should have a spinoff show SNR - saturday night recorded

[@gildenstorf]

I always get a little more interested when one of these comes up. All too often the live stuff bombs.

[@markallen6244]

It's cute how she sincerely wishes him a nice Christmas at the end :) He just thought she was being nice and he was right because she was being nice to him. Such a sweet heart! I don't think knowing that he is rich and James Franco should change anything. I see this is a very beautifully written and cute skit.

People also overlook the joke about James Franco doing a lot of random jobs lmao

"I'm a famous person"

Why does every episode of SNL seem like an oscar winning film and then something funny happens, *seriously they are talented*

[@cheetosortiz2783]

This was actually pretty good

[@Orphen42O]

Better than some of the Hallmark Christmas movies that have aired.

[@Victoria-cm4jr]

"I'm James Franco," ha ha ha ha ha ha. Love it !!!

"People give me free things all the time, I'm a famous person." Lol, he's right. When you're famous, they do.

[@henrytawnn8694]

Yeah. It's funny how rich and famous people get free things, like those $126,000 Oscars gift baskets, but the people who don't have money have to pay for everything.

[@toddsmitts]

"Get out, James Franco!" Not the first woman to say that.

"I expect my assistant to work as hard as I do" as I sit in a coffeeshop.

[@Mobius_Pizza]

And probably get paid 10 times the salary of the assistant

[@livecatgrenades]

Yeah how dare she have a lunch hour, which she seems to be taking call during.

[@wickedmonkeylover]

I love how she keeps saying his whole name.

[@tinaloye2014]

' i expect my assistant to work as hard as I do' No, your assistant doesn't get paid as much as you do, lol 😂

[@TCt83067695]

Tina Loye sorry so the assistant can ignore the responsibilities she's paid for?

[@dennispremoli7950]

thats such a retarded logic. So a miner should work as hard cause hes not paid as much as Bill Gates??

[@sasom7274]

Not just work decides the wage. What about work experience? Intuition? Success?

[@tinaloye2014]

TCt83067695 can you read? They aren't doing the same jobs, sure an assistant works hard but it's not the same job therefore the level of effort she needs to put in will not be the same as her boss. Or maybe you guys are just content being overused by your bosses... 🤔 My boss stays late hours, I don't and that's why they're paid more than I am.

[@tinaloye2014]

Dennis Premoli bill gates doesn't work the same hours or as gruelling a job as a miner and yet he's making more than a few country's entire GDP combined. Different job pay differently so if I'm bill gates assistant, and we are doing different jobs, I don't expect to be paid as much as he does cause I'm not bill gates... you get?
