Phoebe Waller-Bridge on SNL: 3 sketches you have to see
’ David Harbour hosts next week.often falls flat. But in dealing with the politics of the everyday? The show has been delivering some of its most consistently solid comedy over the past few seasons. When processing topics such as race and gender far away from the White House, the show often yields sharp insights about the way these subjects inform our everyday interactions.
This sketch, which answers the question, “What would happen if a news team read the news as if live-tweeting it?”, is an example of how good the show can be when its focus is small. As with the next sketch on this week’s list, this is an exercise in escalation: once Kenan Thompson and the vastly underused Ego Nwodim cheer on the identity of the first criminal discussed, the news team gets increasingly competitive about who is “winning” the day’s news.
Each crime turns into a mini-mystery, with some following the stereotypical path given the initial details and some featuring last-second twists. The peak comes with the tale of a man rock climbing in Utah, with Nwodim’s horror at the victim’s name , Alex Moffat’s pumped reaction, and Chris Redd’s manic scorekeeping cap off an incredible run that pokes fun of racial stereotypes while simultaneously demonstrating how often people derive incorrect information from a mere headline.
Moments,” times in which the show goes from “good” to “special.” These include : Show Defines The Political Moment, Character at Its Peak Power Getting the Audience Rock Star Treatment, Surprising Yet Perfectly Executed Cameo, Everyone Breaks But Somehow It’s Endearing Instead Of Off-Putting, and the one under which this sketch falls: “New Actor Making Their Presence Known for the First Time.”
Bowen Yang made his first onscreen appearance last season, and had a few small roles last week, but he gets his breakout moment here as Chinese trade representative Chen Biao. Yang carries himself like a multi-year veteran, with a fully-formed character that is instantly recognizable yet nothing like anyone else on the show right now.
