Weekend Update: Jose Suarez on His Goal to Be the First Latino-American President - SNL

[@booshong]

This blew me away. His mannerisms, the writing, the editing. Everything is top notch. This was such a solid episode.

[@claudiacanales2662]

It was just amazing!!!! Like you say....all of it was PERFECT!

[@S.Pociecha]

It was even perfect as an illustration of how small Colin Jost's head is. We're all used to seeing him look small next to the hugeness of Michael Che, but in this sketch we see Jost not only looks small; he *is* small.

marcello has some real potential for the next generation of snl

All four of them do: him, Michael Longfellow, Devon Walker, and Molly Kearney.

[@jag5014]

I'm wondering why they don't include the Please Don't Destroy guys in regular sketches considering they're better than much of the new cast (except Marcelo).

[@alexc.7375]

@@jag5014 Probably for the same reason they don't use Colin Jost or Michael Che in skits. To try and keep those parts of the show stronger writing-wise. I personally don't find any of the Please Don't Destroy Guys to be that great though and are my least favorite part of the show right now (right after Mikey Day). I definitely prefer Marcello Hernandez, Michael Longfellow, and Molly Kearney (she won me over with the new hire sketch). Devon really hasn't had a breakout moment for me to have an opinion yet.

[@lookingforlove839]

​@@alexc.7375why Michael Longfellow? For the longest time, I didn't know who he was. After finding out who he is, i can see why I don't know him much. He is someone who blends well with the background.
