It may have relied a little too much on “old people acting gross” shtick, but dancing around pantsless in Depends is outrageous enough for anyone of any age willing to commit to make it work. Bĭepend Legends – It was no “Oops! I Crapped My Pants,” but this bit did prove that there is room enough for more than one adult diaper commercial parody. There was a sense of control here, in which the cast was at Henson’s beck-and-call, instead of the usual dynamic, in which they drop in to support the host. It had to be, as the concept of “making it” has been seen plenty of times, on “SNL” monologues or otherwise. The success of this routine was thanks pretty much completely to her charisma. Henson’s Monologue – Taraji managed to justify yet another musical monologue with some powerful, confident pipes and a commanding stage presence. Darrell Hammond’s cameo felt a little dated, as there is not as much of a sense of Bill butting in on his wife’s moment as there used to be, but it did effectively inform McKinnon’s wound-up performance. This edition wisely went with a domestic setting, as this is a public figure we all know so well that a glimpse into her private sphere is in no way jarring. Hillary Clinton (BEST OF THE NIGHT) – It has been a delight watching Kate McKinnon develop her Hillary Clinton impression from “promising” to “ready for the big leagues.” With the real Clinton finally on the verge of announcing her long-presumed 2016 presidential candidacy, her current “SNL” counterpart has made it clear that she will be as much a force to be reckoned with as Ana Gasteyer and Amy Poehler were before her. These are the qualities that great “SNL” hosts are made of, and in her first appearance at Studio 8H, she had to show them off, both because she was given plenty of roles that required a strong presence and because many of the sketches were running low on premise and thus necessitated strong performances across the board. Henson has been showcasing her commitment, confidence, and charisma to her biggest audience yet. With her breakout role as Cookie on “Empire,” Taraji P. This review was originally posted on Starpulse in April 2015. Henson, Mumford & Sons (CREDIT: YouTube Screenshot) The product itself is pretty bizarre and I have puh-lenty of questions about it.SNL: Kenan Thompson, Taraji P. Though the sketch never aired on NBC, the lords of the Internet have graced us with more Chris Pratt being Chris Pratt and doing funny things while being Chris Pratt. Jason Statham's Jason Steakums could have easily become one of SNL's famous parody products right up there with "Oops I Crapped My Pants," "Mom Jeans," and "Schmitt's Gay". He's got Statham's serious demeanor and sexy sneer down to a tee. In the sketch, Pratt dons a bald cap and tough action man leather jacket as well as a quasi-cockney accent. The "He-Man and Lion-O" and "Marvel Movie Trailer" sketches were big fan favorites, and if "Jason Statham's Jason Steakums" hadn't been cut for time, it probably would have been a highlight of the episode. Pratt hosted Saturday Night Live back in September for the monumentous premiere of its 40th season. On Monday afternoon, "Jason Statham's Jason Steakums" was posted online and became an instant viral success. So when Saturday Night Live decides to release an un-aired sketch starring the mega action star, it's kind of a big deal. Chris Pratt just might be the most famous person on the planet considering Jurassic World had the biggest international box office opening in the history of film.
