I still remember what a big shock it was seeing Jason Sudeikis being back as Biden. Back then, I assumed the show would have Beck or Mikey in the role.
March 30, 2019 – Sandra Oh / Tame Impala (S44 E16)
Sadly, despite the cold open “parodying” the Mueller Report, it is not the end for De Niro’s “impression” on the show, as he’ll grace us one more time in the finale.
March 9, 2019 – Idris Elba / Khalid (S44 E15)
Leslie is good as Gayle King, but I really cannot buy her in the role. I feel Ego Nwodim would’ve been a better fit, to me, but I guess she was too new back then to co-lead a cold open. (Then again, JAJ has been dominating cold opens since his very first episode, but I digress.)
March 2, 2019 – John Mulaney / Thomas Rhett (S44 E14)
The opening part with Ben Stiller’s Michael Cohen isn’t all too funny and is dragging on. I just do not comprehend why this rather generic role is given to a big-time comedian and not a cast member.
