    We can't wait for SNL to return! What do you want them to make a sketch about most?
  • @RetroRuss
    I gained a lot of respect for Adam Driver. He made the whole cast of that skit break while he stayed completely in character. And he was funny as hell.
  • @Sam.i.am_2014
    Some folks hate when they break character or when a skit goes wrong, but by god it just makes it sooooo damn funnier for me😂😂😂 It's genuine laughter and so enjoyable man lol
  • @caroxoxo
    Adam Driver's been a legendary host every time he's been on SNL.
  • Tiffany Haddish almost swinging on that naked cat killed me. 😂😂😂💀

    R.I.P. Gilda Radner,John Belushi,Phil Hartman and Chris Farley. Thank u for all the laughs and joy u brought all of us who got to experience your comedic genius you will never be forgotten!
  • @valmarsiglia
    "Jimmy Fallon tries not to laugh" was pretty much the theme of SNL when he was on the show.
  • @SophiaAphrodite
    The Californians sketch went off the rails because Armisen had been saying " what are you doin' here" normal in rehearsal, then stretched it out when it went live.
  • @abellewis3062
    "First off, I am 35 years old, I am divorced, and I live in a VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!" These lines will NEVER get old. Enough said.
  • i actually love when they break character. makes the whole scene almost more funny
  • @user-vr3ko2lc2n
    That first one is one of the funniest things ever. Pete couldn’t even look at him without giggling
  • @roentgen822
    Jeezus Keenan Thompson DOES. NOT. AGE. Like AT ALL 😳
  • @zeppo2240
    Bill Hader just has a laugh that's so contagious, you never care when he starts laughing, and its usually a testament to how talented his cast/writers are
  • @Angel15Rose
    Tiffany Haddish was about to throw hands with that cat 😂
  • That “close encounter” sketch is easily one of the funniest of all time
  • @Ben_of_jesus
    Watch mojo: “This is the moment every one remembers!” Also watchmojo: cuts away from the moment every one remembers
  • How Adam Driver hasn’t won every acting award possible is BEYOND me!!
  • @MountTheodore72
    Debbie Downer literally had me in tears the first time i watched it. I hadn't laughed out loud like that in a while over a video.
