SNL season 50 Final Recap & Highlights: Scarjo does it

My expectations were high for the final of SNL 50. This was a good season, relative, perhaps somewhat energetic by the authors who kept hearing the expression “50th anniversary”, and there was no reason to assume that the show would not pull out all stops for their conclusion. So I felt a little disappointed with the result. This is by no means a bad episode, and there are some great moments, but it may be nice to end with a more important note.

But Scarlett Johansson is an actor that I like very much and she is a suitable choice for the final. Beyond her obvious megawatt promi and acting body, it is she is SNL Family that often appears in Kame or referred to their husband Colin Jost in jokes. This does not entirely bring her to Steve Martin or Alec Baldwin Levels-Obvoons, who is now officially the most common female host in the history of the show and Tina Fey and Drew Barrymore exceeds-but it was cute to see her the rest of the line-up during the most multi-tier mouth-funny monologue. The SNL-The “parody” of “Klaviermann” provided a good introduction to remember this historical season.

During the entire show, Scarjo has contributed perfectly sufficient work and did everything that is necessary from her – although the sketches did not offer the most memorable or clear roles. “Bowen's Still Straight” is a diluted continuation of Sydney Sweeney, who has exchanged for the host, together with Cameos by Gina Gershon and Emily Ratajkowski. Johannsen is amusing when she plays herself, as in the request not destroying short “first class”, where she flies the boys for a vacation to Newark and a lot of paranoia. But it is not the highlight of this piece; That would be a musical guest Bad Bunny, who appears as a Himbo flight traffic controller who manages to bring her to the floor after googling. “How can I help a plane to land well.” The same applies to the lackless of the lack of intimacy coordinators, where their vague confusion about lesbian sex cannot keep up with Kenan Thompson's confusion. Everything is fine, but nothing spectacular.

Here are the highlights:

This rests on a simple comedic premise: A morning news channel cannot stop making dark words about cruel local news. You can't think too much about it – some of them are not even word games and would the reporters not read them from CUE cards? -but the punch lines come again and again, especially when Devon Walker's reporter and even Heidi Gardner, disturbed the mother of a missing child. And Emil Wakim's dancing Wettermann inexplicably made me laugh loudly to laugh with his two pitchy-to-the-point-point-not-Near-Unrecogneabstlability-Jingles.

Bad Bunny is a star! His joke with Marcello Hernández in Spanish is a highlight of this sketch over two men who unexpectedly combine a bar about their relationships with the “crazy” women who suppress them. Everyone brings the necessary energy, but I couldn't take my eyes from Bad Bunny's dedicated performance. James Austin Johnson and Andrew Dismukes' supporting roles are a nice gesture.

The weekend -update has presented a large part of the sharpest letter this season, and this includes this final, which contains a good RFK Jr. “).

The highlight would of course always be Jost and Che joke exchange. It hits the expected beats: Che lets Jost say racist things, Jost lets Che talk about his love for white women. But this time they get pretty hard, especially when Jost is forced to express the expression “Nick Kerr lover” shortly before referring to his favorite hobby in childhood: “Canceled priests with my pretty little mouth”. Also easy to see how Johanssen appeared and received an apology from Che because she described her vagina as “Costco Roast Beef”.

Have you ever noticed that men and women get different types of questions at Press Junkets? This is the point behind this funny sketch, where the gap between the respect of the hosts of Marcello and the female actors continues to expand. Yang really enjoys the most intrusive questions, including: “How does it come that all of their exens are white?”

Well, this is a 10-to-1 sketch if I have ever seen one. There is not much to say here; There are four Victorian women for lunch, which are assessed with their butler (damper) and disgusting food such as geled eels, cow bloods and BLTS (rabbits and small turtles). Gardner claims that afterwards she “passed two to seven”.

• The final cold, which was aimed at a predictable goal: Trump's recent sketchy journey to the Middle East. Before Johnson becomes an interactive part of the studio audience, it is usually just an excuse to hear Trump's voice, say things like “Habibi”, “Inshallah” and “bring me into Allah's country”.

• “Oh, he ate that! … woman.”

• “I only have the pilot of Lost. “”

• Yang as a bad boy: “I would never do something to hurt him … but I would fuck his wife.”

• Fast Marriage story Reference with a straight yang that hits a hole in the wall.

• No sign of Mike Myers' Elon Musk, which I had expected at least for a small appearance, but we get this elevator sketch with Thompsons Kanye West. It is fun, for the famous moment “George Bush does not take care of black people” from the Hurricane Katrina fundraiser, but this is a bit out of date – Kanye spit out the Nazi rhetoric and is generally unpleasant at this point – and does not really go anywhere. And Thompson's Kanye impression made me miss Jay Pharoah.

• For someone who is lucky enough, not the joke “How is it not understandable? Everyone has a cousin” recently published a song about how he gives his head his head.

• Both appearances by Bad Bunny were a lot of fun and I particularly enjoyed his duet with Rainao. This graffitated toilet set is a particularly impressive design selection.

• The fate of several actors still hangs in season 51 in balance, and this final is not very clear on this front. But if that Is Jost and ches last year as weekend -update anchor, at least they assume an outrageous (then healthy!) Note.

• Cut out the boo at the goodnights, but sweet when he gives his wife roses.
