Emma Thompson Monologue - SNL

[@Asterius_101]

Emma Thompson was a perfect fit for the mother's day episode, she's such a class act.

[@onthemarketblog6444]

why does SNL propagate this 90's has been , given a royal title from the English Saxe Coburg and Gotha dynasty aka the royal family of England ? these people propagate this two tier society of thespians and monarchists, she is so so irrelevant just like the non elected monarchy she accepted her dame hood from vomit barf x 1000

This was one of the best SNL monologues I have ever seen. You can NEVER go wrong with Emma Thompson, EVER. And then you add Tina and Amy (plus Kenan)? No regular players just All-Stars. Gold.

[@breedakennedy3182]

Absolutely! Consumate professionals

[@scharukh1]

This 60-year-old has brought more energy to the stage and the sketches than any of the permanent cast members or guest hosts in the past few seasons. She is a true professional, extremely funny and a committed actor. Emma Thompson thank you for existing.

[@OldRaver]

Shahrukh Waheed Agree. Though Emma with Amy and Tina is just quality ❤️ There is such a difference when a comedy actress/actor is the host. (For one, they actually learn their lines and don’t have to keep staring at the cue cards.. or at least don’t do it so damn obviously as the rest of the cast seem too.) Plus Brits don’t take themselves seriously, and aren’t so saccharine/ ‘worthy’. Emma Thompson is just Legend. What is great is this is that this is just what she is like in real life... she is bonkers and delightful. (OK, I’m basing that on bumping into her her once in a shop in London, but she was super approachable and chatty (we were taking the piss out of the complexity and side effects of contouring) Bloody wonderful woman. Wanted to say ‘Can we be mates, please?’ and swap numbers, but that would be weird... and I’m British, so Wish I could be more like her. But I guess she is the product of her upbringing (her parents are actors too, Eric Thompson and Phyllida Law,) She went to Cambridge Uni, where she was in the Footlights thestre troupe. All our great comic actors seem to have been in the theatre groups at Oxford or Cambridge.. High Laurie, Stephen Fry, Olivia Coleman, Peter Cook, Dougla Adams (wrote Hitchhikers guide).. the list is really telling. Suggest if your kid wants to get into acting/comedy writing send them to Cambridge!!

[@IanOsmond]

She started out in standup and sketch comedy, and had a reputation as being WAY over the top and working blue enough to make her fellow comics uncomfortable, which she loved. Also, the hottest sex scene ever filmed is her and Jeff Goldblum in THE TALL GUY.

[@melanieenmats]

Zero comedic talent though. Mostly lost of face stretching and overacting.

[@jkl799]

So wonderfully said. She is a gem.

[@alhambralions5985]

melanieenmats No “thumbs up” on your comment because you are the only one with that opinion.

[@ErisRising]

Not usually into the sentimental endings, but considering it's three of the best women in entertainment pulling it off flawlessly, I'll make an exception.

[@UkuleleLauren]

Who would have thought that an SNL monologue could make me cry 😭 That ending was beautiful.

[@Miko_Jones]

Clearly not a monologue.

[@richardleatherman5075]

Too much talent in one place, universe imploding.

[@benschaeffer8102]

Emma Thompson is one of the MOST HILARIOUS live interview actors/performers to watch. She's HYSTERICALLY funny, as well as has a risque and bawdy sense of humor and is EXTREMELY entertaining. She is a JEWEL.

[@kumar01234]

With all the Oscars and Golden Globes she's won I forget sometime that Emma Thompson started out as a comedian. Usually actors and actresses have the cast help them out in the monologue like questions from audience, cast members coming in and out. It's usually the professional comedians who deliver straight up monologue solo. Although she had Amy and Tina do it with her I'm sure she could have done this monologue solo as well. It was a solid trio

[@jasonflay8818]

Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, and Emma Thompson were a great comedy trio, years later people forget all three well accomplished actors/writers/directors are sketch comedians at heart.

[@StJimmy89]

She’s both! She started in comedy over here in the 80s.

[@kickedinthecalfbyacow7549]

James Davidson not really, being friends with Steven fry doesn’t make you a comedian. Kenneth Branagh isn’t a comedian either but they followed similar paths.

[@StJimmy89]

@@kickedinthecalfbyacow7549 No. she actually started in comedy. she was a member of the cambridge footlights comedy troupe with Fry and Laurie. her early career was all comedy. I know my british comedy history well lol Also she was married to Kenneth Branagh at one point!

[@eme.261]

I love, love, LOVE Emma Thompson!! Smart as a whip, loving, generous, hilarious, a brilliant actor, an accomplished writer and goofy & cooky. I bet she's a wonderful mom, as well. For those claiming she needed Tina and Amy to join her on stage? Umm, say what, now!? Tina and Amy are my girls, but Emma is a frigging legend. She's from the Cambrigde Footlights and a multi-award winning boss, baby! For those who don't know, the Cambridge Footlights is arguably the most revered of the improv clubs. It was founded in 1883 and has as past members some of the funniest and most talented comedians, actors and writers ever to grace the industry. Along with Emma Thompson, Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry, there's John Cleese (Monty Python), Eric Idle (Monty Python), Graham Chapman (Monty Python), Sue Perkins, David Mitchell (Mitchell and Web), Richard Ayoade (The IT Crowd), Sandi Toksvig, Dav Stevens (Legion, Downton Abbey), John Oliver (The Daily Show, Last Week Tonight), Miriam Margolyes, and Douglas Adams (author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy novel series). Emma Thompson needed no one to help her make her monologue funnier. With her experience and talent in acting and writing, she could run circles around every writer and comedian connected to SNL. Emma wrote the screenplays for Sense & Sensibility (1995, winner of the Oscar and the BAFTA for Best Adapted Screenplay), Wit, Nanny McPhee, Nanny McPhee Returns, Effie Gray, and Bridget Jones's Baby, among others. She's also contributed to Pride & Prejudice and Love, Actually. If writers need to strengthen their scripts, they turn to Emma Thompson. I'm sure she enjoyed having Tine and Amy with her on stage, but she bloody well didn't need them.

E. Thompson- the British Meryl... YES!

[@IanOsmond]

It's shocking she hasn't done SNL before now. She started out in standup and sketch comedy, in a group with Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, and had a reputation for working blue enough to make her audience cringe, which she loved. She has been a truly topnotch edgy comic since well before some of the current crop of SNL players were born. Also, the hottest, and funniest, sex scene ever filmed is her and Jeff Goldblum in THE TALL GUY.
