John really uses SNL hosting gigs to let out his inner broadway kid

[@canaisyoung3601]

And do sketches that he might not have been able to do back when he was a writer.

[@saber1epee0]

Canais Young He's mentioned this once or twice in Interviews- He and Some friends wrote and loved the idea for this years ago, but it fell flat at the writers meeting. He said he was thrilled in hindsight because now he could throw so much more effort at it!

[@sirdogsgaming9379]

The only thing funnier than a person breaking character and laughing is when everyone around them is dead serious.

[@commbir5148]

Agree to disagree. At this point, breaking character has become so expected and popular that it's pretty inconceivable to think that it's authentic half the time. Or maybe even most of the time. I don't find that comedians pretending they can't keep themselves from laughing when they're supposed to be doing a skit is very funny or original. It's tired and way overused.

I can't even fault Pete for breaking hard at Kenan showing up. Even if he knew it was coming, that's such a ridiculous character and design.

[@Cris-ep2sc]

(At least. Probably more. *Definitely* more by the time you’re reading this.) That’s more than the total Americans killed in combat during the Revolutionary War, World War I, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq put together. (Not just a little more, either. It’s *over 40% more* than all of them combined.) I wonder if Putin is paying Dumb Donald bounties on *those* deaths?

I drove my Mom crazy doing my terrible Rosanna Danna impression.

I love that all the musical theater people love these, but John Mulaney never actually did musical theater as a kid. I feel like it's one of those things he appreciated but he would never want his life to revolve around it. Yet somehow this is better than so much crap that makes it on stage.
