I love SNL because otherwise I'd never know about several artist I now love. I live so far off-grid and close to our Mexican neighbors, that I go weeks at a time without seeing another human. It sure has made quarantine effortless, since I didn't have to change anything... I haven't seen network TV in the last 8 years, the only radio stationsI can get here are Hardcore right-wing talk, "christian" which spews pretty much the same hateful rhetoric as reich-wing talk, and pop music stations from Mexico. Given those choices, I like that I'm learning Spanish through some really good music! Yo canto desde mi corazon!

Times like these it works but I do have to say when Oscar Isaac did SNL he didn’t break once and he was my fave in years

[@21pilotstillidie58]

Honestly nothing against Lizzo she is a talented singer. But she was kinda a mess hosting. She broke in every sketch and her eyes almost never left the teleprompter. Again nothing against her you don't expect someone to be talented at everything. Just like most actors couldn't sing like her to save their life. But not gonna lie her breaking kinda ruined the sketches for me.

I feel like when Lizzo threw her “wine” glass and said while she was laughing “I shouldn’t be drinking this” was improvised. Had me in tears by that point 😂

[@kengeorgejones6855]

This is a wonderful sketch, one of my favorites of this season. And another perfect choice to close out an episode. I love the ending, the audience laughter and then groaning at what he got up to. Seeing that type of reaction shows how good this piece was. What makes Andrew such a fantastic cast member is how he can play such completely insane situations so fully committed - you can actually believe what's going on. Even when Lizzo was breaking, he kept going, which just made the sketch even better (it helped that they had such good chemistry). Andrew brings back a lot of the intensity and unpredictability the male cast hasn't had in recent years. I hope he will stay for a long time.

[@RobertXPhotography]

So in your mind.. this was a wonderful sketch? Hmmm.. interested in knowing what else you find funny. You must find Hannah Gadsby to be hilarious huh.

Honestly, he could probably play a high school student until he's forty.

[@canaisyoung3601]

He's actually the youngest cast member on the show currently. He was born in 1995, which was when SNL was between its bad 20th season and the 21st season, which was the start of its new era with Will Ferrell and Darrell Hammond. And it was also when MADtv came out and those who were disillusioned with SNL flocked to that show.
