And it accomplished that.
But in real life, Madison assures us shes much more laid-back.
Its so hard to believe I was homeschooled, right?
Her twin brother even shows up.
But something was holding the episode back.
Maybe it was that Madison seemed nervous and barely utilized during the episode.
The show had her playing mostly periphery characters, with a couple of sketches featuring Madison more prominently.
I wonder if it was because sheisout of her element with comedy shes charismatic but not necessarily funny.
I wouldve loved to see this as a full sketch.
She carried herself through the So Like … What Are We?
Does Madison appear to be a naturally gifted comedian?
Was she putting her whole ass into each sketch?
She just won an Oscar and crossedSNLoff her list and we had fun!
Let the woman rest.
Here are the highlights:
Acting Coach 2
Im glad they brought this sketch back.
Marcello Hernandez always goes big, especially as the quintessential acting coach.
Madison plays his star student to the chagrin of the rest of the class.
Fellow student Andrew Dismukes going to sleep at the behest of an annoyed Hernandez was also unexpectedly goofy.
Weekend Update
There were so many great moments during this weeks Weekend Update.
Also, Che asking if Jost is okay after his Paddington takedown and Jost shouting NO!
was probably the hardest I laughed in this episode.
And one of his many regrets?
Not pursuing stand-up comedy.
Madisons mob wife character finally lets her play the diva that she is.
Yang and Madison ending with the Hilary Duff choreo was a nice way to wrap up the sketch.
Planning New York
This episode was heavier on the pre-tapes/shorts, but Im not mad about it.
The British accents while singing made me almost certain that Charli was going to pop out at any moment.
Also, loved the Amelia Earhart reference.
I spent both of his performances wishing he wasDoechii.
New York should replace Excelsior with B.O.N.
