When Benson met Quinta, and also Sarah (CREDIT: NBC/Screenshot)
Jeff “jmunney” Malone watches every new episode of Saturday Night Live and then reviews all the sketches and segments according to a “wacky” theme.
May the 4th be with Quinta Brunson and Benson Boone. Or more technically, May the 3rd be with them. But May the 4th be with me, and with all my readers, because I watch SNL and write my reviews on Sundays instead of Saturdays.
This is Quinta B’s second time hosting, and wackily enough, her main gig of Abbott Elementary is currently on summer vacation, although I suppose she can promote getting caught up on her show streaming. As for Benson B, he’s one of those newly minted pop hitmakers that you’ve probably encountered even if you don’t follow the Top 40, since he really goes after that high note on his big hit.
This is one of those weekends when I annually run a 10-mile race, so based on that theme of speed, I’ll be reviewing the sketches and segments in this episode with one word each.
Trump Executive Orders: Enough.
Quinta Brunson’s Monologue: Outstretched.
Will & Todd’s Radical Experience: Finally!
OnlySeniors: Open-minded.
Leadership Summit: Rib-tickling.
Ferry Parking: Unbelievable.
Forever 31: Short-sighted.
Two Bitches vs. a Gorilla: Eegad.
Benson Boone, “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else”: Purple.
Weekend Update: The Jokes: Darling.
Weekend Update: Michael Longfellow: Outrageous.
Weekend Update: Darlene and Duke: Downhome.
Addicts Anonymous: Sanguine.
Benson Boone, “Mystical Magical”: Grooving.
The Greats: Devastating.
Well, that sums up the great one-word-per-sketch review of the Quinta Brunson/Benson Boone episode. Regarding next week: if you still need to buy a Mother’s Day present, you can just tell Mom that you got her the Walton Goggins/Arcade Fire edition of SNL.
