The 34-year-old Carmichael has quietly built a comedians dream resume.
Were looking at an artist here, and hes a great get forSNL.
Mikey, as Brian, talks about downloading Trumps new social media app Truth Social.
(I downloaded the app, opened it, and my phone immediately got very, very hot.)
(I take my duty as the Yoko Ono of the Supreme Court very seriously.)
James Austin Johnson then FaceTimes in as Trump to discuss current events, including the slap.
(Quite an arm on Hitch.
I always knew Hitch had an arm.)
(I promised myself I would never ever talk about it again.
But then Lorne came into my dressing room.)
This might be the best monologue of the season.
([Lorne] said the nation needs to heal.)
Jerrod admits hes not very famous and claims hes the least famous host inSNLhistory.
That might be true today, but I dont think it will be true for long.
(Kate: One things for sure, we got stupid.)
They soon display a picture of a wheelbarrow and have the contestants guess what it is.
(Sarah: Bicycle?
Jerrod: Farm bicycle.
Bowen: Wheel monkey.)
Kate soon pulls out Jerrods best friend from college and asks Jerrod if he remembers his name.
(Kate: Sorry, Derek, his name was Derek.
Jerrod: We got the same name?)
which leads to three very unhinged answers.
(Jerrod: If you set the clock ahead, you dont have to be alive as long.)
This is a little bit of aCelebrity Jeopardy!clone, including an exact Final Jeopardystyle ending.
Jerrod shines as the deadpan Derek and shouts out to the costume department for the assist.
His dead-eyed stare as Kate read his final answer was one of the episodes highlights.
Pete is currently filming a horror film in New Jersey, but the show has missed him.
However, the random cast-member absences occasionally feel weird.
Gunna and Chris Redd also appear, alongside Simon Rex reprising his rapper persona, Dirt Nasty.
(Redd: I just sawPaddington 2.
Best movie Ive ever seen.
I love that little bear.
One second, yall.
KEEP MY WIFES NAME OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!)
Jerrod is really impressive here.
(Chris: Nice to meet you, man.
Kyle: I dont … they didnt give me one.)
However,SNLstepped up to the plate and delivered one of its most memorable sketches of the season.
Shes still at work and has her next job lined up?
Che specifically delivers punchlines better than almost anybody on TV nowadays.
(Che: During his acceptance speech, Will Smith said, Love will make you do crazy things.
Do you know what else makes you do crazy things?
Keeping Score
Jerrod Carmichael is my MVP.
There really wasnt one bad sketch, and he had a lot to do with it.
