Adam Driver on SNL: 3 sketches you have to see
in what is arguably going to be its most important season since…well, 2016. Let’s see what lessons the show has learned from that year as we move through the back half of this season. For now, let’s look at three sketches people will be talking about until NFL star J.J. Watt hosts next week.Honestly, if this “Adam Driver invokes the spirit of Mitch Hedberg” monologue had lasted the entirety of the episode, I would have been completely fine with it.
Depicting the highlights would just involve a bulleted list of every joke in the monologue, but I have to give a special shout-out to the end in which he states that he’s dragging the monologue out so a sketch near the end of the show gets cut. “I play a woman,” he says, “And I can’t decide if it’s transphobic or really dated.” In a monologue that’s more absurd than grounded, that’s a hell of a mission statement snuck into the frivolity.
Driver was already one of the best hosts the show has seen over the last few seasons, but his simple delivery of, “Just hanging!” had to cement him in the Hosting Hall Of Fame. It’s the perfect combination of joke and actor coming together to produce a perfect comedic moment that had the audience quite literally gasping for air.
Once again, a political cold open succeeds due to depicting the circus around President Trump rather than the man himself. Staging the impeachment trial in Hell itself did more than simply having Alec Baldwin recite actual Trump dialogue could ever do.Writing about sketches that take the underlying sentiment of a nation and focus them into four minutes of comedic brilliance is what I live for.
