Ihopethe answer will be yes.

Of course, a lack of comedic experience doesnt necessarily mean an actor has no aptitude for comedy.

After their first turns as host, though, both proved that theyve got serious comedic chops as well.

Or one about Beyonce!

Or one aboutScandalitself, which is justbeggingto be parodied!

(Taran Killams got to play President Fitz, right?)

), and the mess that ishealthcare.govmay double as a comedic gift that keeps on giving.

Er… make that aslammin sketch.
