Allison Janney was the best out of all of 'em.(imo) John Mulaney was good. It's so weird finding out he's a drug addict. He just doesn't give off that vibe. It's like finding out Lil Pump has a masters in theoretical particle physics from Harvard. Yeah, it's that kinda weird!

Still trying to figure out which is more surprising: that Michael Longfellow's Bill Hader voice was accurate or that Michael Longfellow actually has a good celebrity impression. I always figured he'd be one of those SNL cast members who's not good at impressions, but is on the show because he's good at crazy characters and Weekend Update commentary.

They've done several of these sketches where different celebrities are seen playing someone else's role. It gives the cast an opportunity to do impressions they couldn't do anyplace else.

Exactly, that’s why the impressions are so random. The idiocy of America won’t notice.

[@tereza3698]

[@xLuvandkisses101x]

The difference is- this memoir details Britney’s trauma and other vulnerable moments. They made it a joke. Imagine a show that welcomed you with open arms, ends up taunting your most personal book, using impressions as a shield. That is beyond fucked up.

Bowen is a Bill Hader kind of impressionist: he often throws in some old-timey references he loves that make people laugh even they have no idea who he's supposed to be. Counting the Titanic and his Chuck E. Cheese Commodores-like duo, this is at least the third time he clearly just want to pull a homage to 80s pop music.

[@arjanpelle]

Isn't it also just a case of limited talent in doing impressions? So sort of forced to refer to these kinds of charicatures, which I like by the way.

He was on Jackass breathing fire, eating glass etc, and was a heavy drug user of PCP, meth etc. He said himself he was addicted to nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and would do hundreds of hits in a day, which he thinks caused the most damage. Having tried it myself that gas is pretty damn cold going down your throat, so it figures it could do some damage in extreme amounts.

He has a good sense of humor and looking fun at himself. A few years ago at an awards show, some actor joked on stage about how his shirt made him look like a gas station attendant.

[@erin5930]

Yeah, I was wondering how they were going to address the book. It was kind of a minefield: How do you be respectful to Britney, acknowledge the popularity of the book, but avoid wading too far into its contents and the related controversy? This was a good solution. I figured they’d make sure not to make a joke out of the book itself. When they did the Oops You Did It Again sketches, they were very careful not to make Britney the joke (or her clearly sensitive situation the center of the sketch). It made me respect the writers a lot more.
