Everything about tonight’s “Saturday Night Live” was perfect.
It mainly cascaded from John Mulaney’s hosting gig. He eviscerated Robert Kennedy Jr in an almost personal way. It was beautiful.
Mulaney later outdid himself with one of his special musical parodies. The video is at bottom. Bowen Yang was sensational as Mary Todd Lincoln from the Broadway show, “Oh Mary.”
The musical produced a rare moment on “SNL” as it reiterated a moment from an earlier very funny sketch with the great Ashley Padilla as an office co-worker who was being ignored by her colleagues. I guess it was a call back, again very rare, from the same episode. Brilliant stuff.
Also, the big reveal of this season is the amazing voice of Veronika Slowikowska. She needs to star in a Broadway musical immediately.
Jeremy Culhane’s impression of Elon Musk is getting even more sublime.
And Phoebe Bridgers hit the right notes with both of her songs. Her performances were spot on.
A return to form for “SNL” including Michael Che begging Lorne Michaels to be part of the main cast.
