Back during the previous administration, the vast majority of these were predictable and easy to call. Now, however, we\u2019re in a spot of greater uncertainty. It\u2019s hard to know exactly what sort of feather the show is going to pull out of its cap on any given week.<\/p>\n<p>So what did the writers decide to do for this go-around? Think in terms of Kate McKinnon as Dr. Anthony Fauci. We\u2019ve seen her open the show before as Fauci \u2014 heck, we also saw Brad Pitt as him last year! What he was present to do on\u00a0<em>SNL\u00a0<\/em>this time around was introduce the CDC players \u2014 doctors who are also theater performers. The purpose here was to have these performers show what is right and wrong when it comes to mask-wearing. Fauci was almost the narrator for all of the random stuff we saw after the fact.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s just say that as a cold open, this was surprisingly weird and surprising edgy. Every single \u201cexample\u201d from the CDC performers went completely off the rails \u2014 this was almost like when Michael Scott was in improv class during an episode of<em> The Office. <\/em>There was no reason that this should have been anywhere near as funny as it was.<\/p>\n<p>If the rest of tonight\u2019s\u00a0<em>SNL <\/em>is somewhat like what we saw here, we\u2019re going to be in for a pretty good show. What\u2019s amazing is that Keegan-Michael Key would\u2019ve been perfect in this sketch and yet, the cast didn\u2019t need him. Instead, almost everyone else in the cast got an opportunity to showcase what was probably a part of their sketch-troupe roots.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and at the end, the performers tried to talk about Israel. That was the end of that\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related <\/strong>\u2013 Be sure to get some other <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> when it comes to SNL right now<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_did_you_think_about_the_latest_Saturday_Night_Live_cold_open\"><\/span>What did you think about the latest\u00a0<em>Saturday Night Live\u00a0<\/em>cold open?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Be sure to share right now in the attached comments!
