- Quotes
Self - Host: Oh, wait? Dad? You flew all the way from Los Angeles?
Eugene Levy: [Nervously] Hey, son! Well? Look at you. I flew in to wish you luck tonight but because I traveled I'm now in this tight isolation box.
Self - Host: You flew all this way to watch the show from this weird box?
Eugene Levy: No, I didn't know about the box at the time. No, I found out when I landed.
Self - Host: Okay, well I'd offer to help but we're live on TV.
Eugene Levy: Listen don't worry about me. I'm fine. You've got enough on your plate tonight.
Self - Host: Okay, dad. Fresh from a plane from Los Angeles. Eugene Levy everybody!
Eugene Levy: [Exasperated] Excuse me? Can one of you turn me around so I can see the stage?
[the hazmat suit-clad stagehands start to turn Eugene around so he can see the stage]
Eugene Levy: Thank you!
The writers seemed to step up their game and make the skits funny and I think they did a good job. Some skits were downright funny, I actually laughed, and it feel like it's been a while since I laughed at an SNL episode. So props to the writers.
Dan Levy was great tonight too. Tbh, I haven't watch much of Schitt's Creek, but I'm guessing the energy he put in this episode is the same amount he put into the show and he was hilarious. He wasn't shy, he didn't stagger, and he just acted with great gusto. Also (SPOILER ALERT!!!), nice that his dad Eugene appeared as well. I had a feeling he would, tbh.
Weekend Update...well...it's Colin Jost and Michael Che, people. They're always funny and know how to make the audience laugh and they did so once again tonight. The characters they had on (played by Mikey, Heidi, Kenan, and Chris) were pretty funny too and I got a laugh from them, though not nearly as much as I did from Colin and Michael.
As for Phoebe Bridgers, her first performance was good, but her second one...eh...it was rather over-the-top and a little disturbing. The rock music growing louder towards the end with her screaming at the top of her lungs then smashing her guitar (well, attempting to, anyway) on the speakers several times just made it a very weird performance. I know some musicians do that and some people love it when they do, but to me, it just seemed unnecessary and over-the-top, like I said. So if you're not really into that type of music, prepare yourselves. If you do like it, then I'm sure you'll love it.
Anyways, overall, if you want to laugh at an SNL episode, I would choose this one and I guarantee you'll be satisfied.
