"I may not have social skills, but I have SNL."

In their very first minisode, Arielle, Alexei, and Avery talk all about Guy Who Just Bought a Boat’s long-awaited return to Weekend Update! They get into the lyricism of Alex Moffat’s line delivery, Anna Drezen’s fantastic writing and what she’s said about the character in interviews, and how SNL’s number one slimeball has become a transgender icon.

Taken from our full discussion on Daniel Kaluuya and St. Vincent’s episode of the show, which will be out tomorrow afternoon, so stick around, and we’ll be right back!

16. "Suitcase Level Bullshit" - Daniel Kaluuya/St. Vincent on SNL

This week, Arielle, Alexei, and Avery have A LOT to unpack. Besides pushing the Anthony Mackie hosting SNL agenda, they gush all about Season 46 Episode 16. People are praising Daniel Kaluuya’s strong performance across the board, and Triple A certainly falls into that crowd. They discuss relatable sketches like “Vaccine Game Show” and “Proud Parents,” Kyle Mooney’s David Dobrik parody, the triumphant return of Alex Moffat’s Guy Who Just Bought a Boat, and the delightful absurdity of both Steven Castillo and Cecily Strong. On a more serious note, they also address Chloe Fineman leaving Twitter due to excessive negativity and other inappropriate fan behavior, as well as SNL’s upsetting decision to create an NFT. But, as always, they close with their favorite struggles of the week to lighten the mood and remind ourselves of the silly little things this silly little show makes us do.
