At the next potluck with the board members I brought my cornbread, which is a recipe handed down from my Appalachian grandfather that I’ve added finely diced red chilis and jalapeños to. Everyone went absolutely nuts over my cornbread, but were kinda shocked when they found out I had made it… I got a few weird looks and a couple of the board members just kept going on and on about it. I was embarrassed but glad they liked it! When I told them that my grandmother who taught me how to cook was from New Orleans it made more sense to them… so next time I brought my gumbo… That went over just as well!

No real black person puts that in their cornbread. Not sure why they’re surprised that a non black would do something like that

I'm sorry

Kenan’s “hoppin johhhn”, fake chewin and spitting, and flipping the the plate off the table was😂😂😂

[@jobimzapico44]

When Keenan knocked over the plate and Heidi struggled to stay in character 😂😂😂 that’s one of the funniest moments I’ve seen in a sketch in a long time

[@Herpusderpus]

The apologizing shouldn’t have been as funny as it was XD just flawless delivery. Love everything about this skit.

[@GreyWind1988]

This episode introduced me to Nate Burgatze. Been his fan ever since. I've even seen him live and he kills it

[@moxbroker]

Best episode of SNL in ages. Nate really brought out the best in everyone.

[@jyotinraina9346]

SNL you have a winning show after a long time. Sheer brilliance by the Guest, Cast and Writers.

[@unclejune4843]

As a Chef from NYC , this had me in tears 😂😂😂

[@MichaelScrip]

I'm guessing the plate-flip wasn't in rehearsal? 🤣

[@bonnieb9238]

If u watch his face u def can see him trying to make the decision 😂

[@deynotlikeuss]

When she almost broke you know for sure it wasn’t after lol

[@RobeLifeMusic]

Nope, haha 🙌👘

No that clearly ad-libbed.

“I made the collarrreds” 🤣

[@GrotrianSeiler]

When Kenan tosses the plate!!! Too funny

[@lenevee4925]

Kenan is a pro! He can make anyone crack a smile while in character.

[@SpiderHacksaw]

LOL! OMG! This one was classic. All of it. And Keenan's plate flip was hysterical and perfect! "I'm sorry."

[@lebbo88]

I know that Lorne is not a big fan of improv, but there's no way Kenan knocking the plates off the table was at all part of the sketch. Heidi's reaction was too genuine.

[@sof2900-i9s]

I bet Lorne and the cast weren't happy with Padma Lakshmi. How hard is it to act yourself with just a few lines.

[@twalk6164]

What a hilarious skit! Kudos for the guts to "go against the grain" and poke a little fun at the racism in America today. Thank you for a breath of honesty!!

[@catherinegarmon3027]

Funniest SNL in YEARS! Nate Bargatze brought it!! And everybody worked together, great skits!

[@oliviatoler633]

This was a great sketch. Everyone was excellent. Nate is killing it as usual.

[@carmelbytheriver4136]

Nate Bargatze was so solid in every skit last night. "Washington" was great writing.

[@MsTaLaiah]

Yes!! That one is so good. I was complaining to someone the other week about how confusing our system is. And I feel unsmart bec I'm 38 😂

[@TJTroubleMaker]

I love that I’ve been watching Kenan do SNL style stuff since the 90s. I love his style so much

[@b-meaker99]

I have watched this skit like 27 different times and I haven't stopped laughing yet this is the best chef Showdown skit SNL has ever produced. "This IS the culture"

[@MossyMozart]

This was a GEM of a sketch on so many levels. In my opinion, the best comedy has a grain of drama at its center.

[@Elmo9001]

Kenan's totally sincere "You need to kill yourself," is one of my new favourite lines.

[@johnykilroy5521]

It's the fact he won with black judges and after the church, and the prizes were afro centric. It clearly wasn't supposed to be him. It broke the obvious script. Feels like he's appropriating when he wasn't.

[@dmochat]

That was actually the only thing I didn't like about the sketch. That's just really dangerous language in real life. People use it online bullying all the time, and words like that can push someone who's already hurting over the edge. Yes, I am fully aware that it's just a joke in a comedy sketch, but even so - words matter. I wish this line weren't in the sketch.

[@sebastianwhalin743]

I thought it was funny too. Reminds me of when Terry Bradchaw said it while commentating football lol. I wouodnt condone saying it to a real person but sonce its a sketch its harmless. And honestly Im surprised you were allowed to even comment that as Ive been auto moderated for much less.

[@imark2569]

@@dmochatpeople being told they lost and that their work is not as good can also push them to harm themselves, it does all the time. So, what do we do?

[@dmochat]

@@imark2569 Conveying a fact is nowhere near the same thing as using language that has no other purpose but to harm. You're comparing apples and oranges.

[@anakansmith6424]

This is one of the funniest sketches of SNL. I love when they play on stuff like this.

[@nikkoj5356]

This was the funniest skit in a long time, bwahahahahha..Keenan kills it with the flip and Nate's, "sorry" shrug lmfao

[@HowiSpangler]

The constant apologizing is the sauce here. So good 😂❤

The xylophone sounds going off at 0:50 are too perfect 😂 they ALWAYS play that tune

it's a Marimba, actually

[@Randsurfer]

A perfect sketch for Nate's delivery.

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

Even though I saw it coming from a mile away, I still laughed when they revealed that "Dougie" was the winner, lol!

[@DarknessFalls29]

The Howard University letterman jacket took me out! He was so uncomfortable with the winning prizes. 😂😂😂

Bro I’ve been watching Nate’s comedy for a few years now. But to see him on SNL is amazing. I feel so proud as a fan lol

Thus is one of the BEST SNL skits in a while. so funny. Nate is such a gifted comedian😂
