A couple of major shake-ups preceded last nights show.
(They were replaced by Lizzo, who reliablyLizzod all over the place.)
That unfortunate announcement first arrived a week ago, however.
(I can almost guarantee shell be back to host sometime in the next two years.)
(The sketch was ostensibly set at Radio Shack.)
(The character is ostensibly going to jail.)
Like many unfathomably hot people, Butler claims he suffered from crippling shyness as a child.
Here are the highlights from the rest of the episode.
Marzipan
Its fun to imagine some abundantly caffeinatedSNLwriter saying, Whats the deal with marzipan?
at 4 a.m., resulting in this very strange sketch.
Jewish Elvis
Nobody is having a better season than Sarah Sherman.
Last year, she had been a Weekend Update scene-stealer who occasionally got to flex in bit parts.
That she hasnt yet been promoted from featured player to cast member feels like straight-up category fraud.
However, that would be a mistake.
Butler goes fullCoffee Talkmode, only far hornier, as Jewish Elviss biggest fan.
Whatever a zizzaster is, this sketch is the opposite of that.
Luckily, he fully embodies the role of a Christmas demon whos just trying to live his best life.
(Im sorry, my culture is not your costume!)
(In the world of these videos, theyre now an item.)
Go stand in front of a mirror and be Jennifer Coolidge for a few lines.
Not as easy as it looks, huh?
Stray Observations
Speaking of impressions, Austin Butler: Not bad atdoing Gollum!
Lizzos second song of the nightis officially billed on YouTube as Someday at Christmas (Amazon Music Original).
Shout-out to Jeff Bezos, I guess, for allowingLizzo to write Christmas music?
