Selena Gomez sleepwalks through a listless Saturday Night Live. Read DennisPerkins5's review:
. You know, an ultra-local talk show where cast members can put on exaggerated regional accents and prove that not everybody should have their own talk show. Here it was Melissa’s turn to anchor a sketch, as she and Gomez hosted, the two Mexican-Americans playing Latina pals whose responses to their guests and the news alternate between a solemn “That’s sad,” and “That’s good.
Still, we had Kenan who, as the harried director feeding his overmatched cast every single line, blew on the sparks of inspiration until we got a little heat. Still, Cecily and Gomez don’t have much fun with theof it all, and Kenan can only do so much, even as he assures the packed house that, yes, this play will feature a live penis at one point. Yang’s premature entrance as the stand-in penis guy gets the one genuine laugh.
Chris Redd was in another musical pre-tape, although not as the driving force of the piece, which knocked it down a notch. With Punkie Johnson and Post Malone popping in as the angel/devils on the shoulders of suspicious lovers Redd and Gomez, the musical part of the sketch never really engages in the way it usually does when Redd’s at the mic. Punkie has a few mid-sized roles tonight, which, like Melissa’s, were long overdue.
There were some conspicuously funny lines throughout the episode, the sort of showy writers room noodling you get when people sense that the roster of actual sketches isn’t cutting it. The three princesses/one suitor sketch started out with Kenan’s king proclaiming, “Ah, Prince Edmund, welcome to our big, cold castle in Europe.” Might as well get a laugh somewhere.
