The “Aquaman 2” star made his return to the “SNL” stage for the second time.
Yes indeed, its SNL in Review time!
Tonights host is Jason Momoa, star ofAquaman and the Lost Kingdom, which comes out next month.
He has also made two cameos on the show since then.
Thanksgiving is days away lets see which sketches we should be thankful for this week!
Cold open
A C-SPAN cold open!
(Hes trying to read directly off the teleprompter.)
Rather than focus on policy, he calls up Panda (Bowen Yang), who hates sex.
A typical Bowen Yang performance.
It is weird seeing former Biden James Austin Johnson here as a reporter!
HE used to be the man in the arena!
Day’s Biden is growing on me - pretty show-friendly take.
Monologue
Jason Momoaloves life!
He talks about growing up Iowa, before moving back to Hawaii and getting a job on Baywatch!
Today, he is an environmentalist and wants to save SpongeBob.
Pretty quick monologue - mostly an informer dial for his drinking water company?!
Old Timey Movies
A scholar of L. Frank Baum introduces found footage.
Film was shot at a lower frame rate, so people move at a faster pace.
A random man (Mikey Day) notices the camera and keeps getting in the way.
What are they thinking about?
Stop thinking about Rome all the time!
Nwodim demands, slapping her husband (Momoa).
Their son is thinking about dinosaurs.
They are secretly thinking about astrology.
This is not good.
Momoa: You are… an ugly person, he accidentally tellsSarah Sherman.
Same thing happens to Michael Longfellow.
Hernandez has to save face - he wants to speak in metaphor.
They comment on the various travelers and their eccentricities.
Jason Momoa is a horny pilot hitting on Nwodim, while Kenan is a TSA agent.
The grand finale is woman about to go viral - the recent not real traveler played by Sarah Sherman.
Still, their desire for ramen persists.
Furtively, Martin and Ben have a go at order.
He said: They’ve mastered the art of casual banter veering into the bizarre.
Their blend of surreal humor is both impressive and a touch envy-inducing.
I really admire their creativity and the camaraderie that fuels their work.
It’s comedy that’s refreshingly offbeat and brilliant in its simple execution.
Its funny that Johns ex is actually Sofia Vergara.
Musical performance #1 - Tate McRae
This is the lead single from McRaes next album Think Later.
The song was co-written by OneRepublic lead singer Ryan Tedder, who also helped produce.
Not my cup of tea.
(He also seems to adlib Trump is going to win the 2024 election - yikes!)
George Santos (Yang) returns to the Update desk.
Santos does the Cups song from Pitch Perfect: Youre going to miss me when Im gone!
He comes on to apologize - except he doesnt.
I play dark skin basketball!
Why dont people talk about his community work?
He throws turkeys at people in his neighborhood during Thanksgiving!
Nice showcase for Walker.
Pretty funny spoof of this kind of awful “arena rock that is Christian curious”.
Great stuff - JAJ and Dismukes kill it.
Cast Away
Laird and Elaine reunite another funny premise for Dismukes!
He is the nebbish current beau to Chloe Fineman.
We actually have a shirts on in the house rule… protests Dismukes, before disrobing.
Pretty funny image - them stripping should go viral.
He proposes a push-up contest: winner gets Elaine!
Now he is the one on an island.
Musical performance #2 - Tate McRae
This is an unreleased song, I believe.
It doesnt do much for me - but this isnt for me!
Ronnie Dunster (Momoa) is enlisted as her match-up before Billie Jean King took on Bobby Riggs.
The monstrous Dunster annihilates her with a hole in her stomach.
She does not give up to her own demise.
Taxi ride
Kenan Thompson gets picked up by cab driver Jason Momoa in Albany.
Hes also positive for Herpes and something called Hepatitis Gold.
Kenan tries his best to not listen in.
