Chris Hemsworth Returns Saturday Night Live
Chris Hemsworth returned as host to Saturday Night Live last night, after helming the late night show in March. The Thor actor is still HELLA HOT and a funny dude. One of the better Saturday Night Lives of the season, if you didn’t watch last night’s broadcast, check out a few of the skits. Will Ferrell returns to play George W. Bush in the cold open.
SNL goes extra hard on Donald Trump in the wake of his remarks on wanting to keep Muslims out of the US. It’s pretty funny stuff too, except that the show weakened its ability to be a critical voice after allowing Trump to promote himself as host a few weeks ago.
Having said that–there wasn’t a single skit that I hated, which is rare indeed when it comes to Saturday Night Live these days.
Watch below.
George W. Bush Cold Open
President George W. Bush (Will Ferrell) announces he’s entering the presidential race and assesses the current crop of GOP candidates. Dubya wants to run again, because the field is full of clowns (including his own brother)
