[@brookenoel3838]

Dan Levy just fits in with the cast perfectly, if I didn’t know him from shitts creek I would have just assumed he was added to the cast. He just works really well.

[@That-One-Eye-Guy]

No he didn't... his performance was cringe worthy 😶

[@colonelmustard2652]

He kinda looks like the gay Asian fella.

[@deeannadorough7378]

His Dad is Eugene Levy

[@Person-lk1vs]

he kinda reminds me of bowen yang

[@markalexander3659]

Agreed! He has a very natural flow with the cast, like he's been working with them for years.

[@johnreichle2984]

I have been watching Keenan’s “exasperation” routine for years now. I could watch it for another 20 years.

[@verdatum]

When he was just like, "....NO." I lost it. I had to pause.

[@EE-sw3uh]

he makes a great straightman

[@flexitarianbeanqueen]

and you probably will 😃

[@ryan2985k]

He will be moving on to bigger and better things soon!!! 😂 jk it’s Keenan he’s a lifer!

[@Garrettdx1988]

He really is one of the best cast members of all time

What?

[@economicist2011]

@@ChrisOliver4307 No!

[@1bryanmv]

Because he honestly doesn’t know what’s happening and says what and no because the show is so below par that’s the best defense for in 10’years when people ask “why?” He can say he had no idea what was happening. I like the cast members but snl has been straight garbage for like 8 years with only like a handful of sketches that were good.

I love how awkwardly those customers are dancing unlike Cecily, she looks like veteran star on broadway

[@Sharky165]

Yep, if she hasn't had professional training, then she's just a natural who practices a lot. I'd love to see her in a Broadway musical, or even a musical film like a "La La Land" or "Chicago"; she'd be perfect !

[@annagitana1]

Apparently she studied at a few arts colleges and then performed with an improve troupe on cruise ships. Dancing and singing has to be a part of all that.

[@Molson-xg9hs]

I fully believe that Cecily is ready for a song and dance number AT ALL TIMES!

[@FloatingWeeds2]

Guys, lorne, SNL team: I didn't just love this sketch, I loved the high level absurdism that permeated this whole episode. Please bring those writers' voices to the fore more often! I've shared the sketches from this episode with so many people today!

[@chrisdesjeunes3691]

For those who are curious, this is a reocurring sketch Cecily Strong, James Anderson and Kent Sublette wrote, starting back in 2015 with Chris Hemsworth, where 2 people sing a song nobody knows, until everyone suddenly remember it. There's one with Chris Pine (not available anymore) and one with Steve Carrell too. Cecily Strong has been THE resident musical theater geek since Taran Killam left.

I never liked musicals, but I always thought it would be comical if you took the extremely unrealistic concept of complete strangers joining you to dance in the street and actually did that, but people .... actually do do that, and it's usually not funny, they're extremely moving demonstrations of a common humanity. People act like pedestrians and then slowly start joining into something and then it becomes this elaborate thing at which point it becomes obvious it was planned but how it all unraveled was beautiful.
