Good ol’ Bobby shows up to add a little comedy. Jim’s charm and fun energy is the only thing really carrying the song. Hmm, hate to say it, but nothing particularly funny at all is happening during the song, and I’m kinda starting to lose interest. Meh, there’s SNL’s usual unnecessary habit of having a few cast members play cheesy backup dancers during a host’s musical monologue. At least this has a fairly fun and out-of-the-ordinary concept for one, though. (*sigh*) Yet another musical monologue. What was with the unseen voices of two(?) real audience members loudly howling “AWOOOOO!” in unison after Jim says Elvis Presley liked to raise a little hell? Or was that sound of men howling “AWOOOOO!” just a planned sound effect played by SNL?
Great costume from Jim Carrey upon his entrance. Underworld rock & roll king Helvis (host) sings of his love for pecan pie
#Early iggy azalea songs update
SNL writer Leslie Jones has been added to the cast, due to popular demand after making some very noteworthy, scene-stealing sketch appearances and Weekend Update commentaries. Even the dreadful season 30 had at least one good cold opening by this point of that season. I cannot remember the last season that started out with such a long consecutive losing streak with cold openings. Overall, while this cold opening wasn’t terrible, it was very forgettable, thus making this season now 0-for-4 in good cold openings. What was the point of having Beck as one of the reporters, when he has absolutely nothing to do or say at any point of this cold opening? The usual somewhat amusing comments from Kenan’s Al Sharpton. A few mild laughs from Taran’s Q&A session, but nothing special.
As I said in a recent review, the constant then-topical Ebola virus mentions in these early season 40 episodes are relatable to our current COVID era. Segments are rated on a scale of 1-5 starsĮbola czar Ron Klain (TAK) & Al Sharpton (KET) address public health
