We're Trying - SNL

[@denisemwoj]

Adam and Bowen were in perfect sync in this skit. I think Adam Driver is one of the best guests. I love when when he hosts.

[@jamiegdubois]

They really were! I loved the bit at 2:36 where it looked like Adam had made Bowen break, but they just incorporated the laughing into the skit.

[@RedfireBlueice]

I whole heartily agree!

[@micahclawrence]

He definitely is. Some of the greatest actors have a “fearlessness” that really shows in how fully they commit to stuff. As if self consciousness has zero chance of getting in the way. Cage is another.

[@user-gh5zk8er5h]

Totally agree! He had the same chemistry with Cecily. All the skits he had with her were good

[@bsherder]

I can definitely agree with that. He is a good host. I really liked the medieval times skit, among others.

[@g3tf673d]

Bowen always kills it. He's one of the only cast mates that doesn't sneak peaks at the teleprompter in an obvious manner. I love when he gets larger parts in the sketches because his mannerisms and delivery are on point. Driver and Bowen are now on my SNL list of "favorite SNL duos". They are both so good and always give 100 percent.
