"Are AGs even involved in policy making?" When the kid said that, I died.

The look on his face when he said, “don’t f this up for me!” 😂😂😂

[@HonestlyNow4Real]

It was like the line for which the whole skit was written!

[@UnseenGriffin]

I feel like the Please Don't Destroy is such a breath of fresh air of SNL. The cast that grew up with Laser Cats and Digital Shorts is finally sweeping into SNL.

I just love how the office was INSTANTANEOUSLY an overstuffed campaign headquarters, more so with each passing shot. Please Don't Destroy are consistently amazing. Also, shout out to the actual Steve Kornacki, aka the nerd every American has a secret crush on.

[@isyt1320]

'I don't want to be eternal general' is an awesome underrated line from Molly 🤣🤣

[@gregorytaylor7969]

They kind of just used it as a throwaway, but it's so good. Sounded like Jerry Seinfeld saying "I don't wanna be a pirate!" The absurdity of the line by itself is so amazing, most people would never have the opportunity to be a pirate or attorney/eternal general, but it's being forced on them by fate.

[@jessetorres8738]

As someone who enjoys watching Steve Kornacki during Election Night coverage on MSNBC, I laughed at the fact that I couldn't tell if S.N.L. really got him to say these things for the sketch or if the show's editors did a great job of faking what he said on Election Night for it.

[@evilcleaver]

I mean NBC runs snl and kornacki soooo

[@riellerthecreeper]

Oh wait! that was actually him? That 's hilarious

[@mychemicalcookie]

It’s certainly real and for the sketch, the lines he said could not apply to a real election, the dialogue and acting all look real, and he’s under NBC so it wouldn’t be hard to get him to actually film the bits.

[@waltonsimons12]

@@anngunzenhaeuser7193 "They" can be used as a singular pronoun as well as a plural pronoun. Been that way since at least 1848, and probably earlier. (1848 was the year William Makepeace Thackeray's novel "Vanity Fair" was published. It contains a sentence that reads, "A person can't help their birth," which shows that singular they was in use in 1848.)

It's this one and the pretaped sketch from the Brandon Gleeson episode where Michael Longfellow, Devon Walker, and Marcello Hernandez talk about how being on SNL is so great, but Molly tells about how Lorne Michaels told them to assassinate Vladimir Putin, which turned out to be an elaborate prank (the line about how the military officers referred to them as "she" and how being in danger is not the best time to correct someone about your pronouns was funny).

I can’t imagine being so bothered by something I’d sit online, scrolling through comments again and again trying to find something to shit on.

[@JoveJoved]

I'll assume you're actually referring to all the performers in this sketch, as a non-moronic person would say "she crushed it" if referring to Molly specifically. "They" for a singular person is only appropriate when it's unknown if the person in question is male or female. Example: "Someone is coming in for an interview today and they'll be here at 1:00 PM."
