(Sorry, Aubrey dont cry.
(What are the odds thatKerry Washington and/or Al Sharptonshow up again to comment on the matter?)
Whether its as pitch-perfect asKroll ShowsWheels, Ontario,however, is another matter entirely.
What else, specifically, should we look out for or hope to see tonight?
Ill get the ball rolling with a few discussion questions:
Who will Sasheer Zamata play in her first-everSNLsketch?
My money would be on Michelle Obama, if not for the way that Kerry Washington cold open began.
Rest assured, though, that Michelle and Beyonce sketches must be coming soon.
How long did it take Don Pardo to figure out how to pronounce her name?
(For the record: sa-SHEER zah-MAY-tah.)
Bobby Moynihans got to break out his Chris Christie at some point tonight.
How rough willSNLbe on New Jerseys embattled governor?
(It cant be worse than askingChristies very favorite singerto skewer him personally.)
Could the return of thepolar vortexinspireSNLto welcome back its own Poehler Vortex?
Talk amongst yourselves, and check back in the morning for a full recap of the show.
