Brie Larson hosted SNL alongside musical guest Alicia Keys this week, with a special guest appearance by alum Dana Carvey.
The cold open for this week’s episode featured a full Church Chat sketch, featuring the classic character Church Lady, played by Dana Carvey.
In another sketch, Brie Larson played an expectant mother who hadn’t quite become fully-initiated just yet, according to her other mom friends. She hadn’t got the “Mom Cut,” but luckily with the help of her friends, she gets initiated!
Kate McKinnon brought back her hilarious near death experience sketch that became a huge hit when host Ryan Gosling appeared in it earlier this season. This time Brie Larson contributed and was able to keep it together a little bit better than Ryan Gosling could.
SNL has a long history of hilarious Game of Thrones style sketches, and this week’s episode was no different. In this sketch, they joke about how long it took for the show to eventually come around to that one thing we all kind of knew was happening anyway.
Alicia Keys also performed two songs. Check out “Hallelujah” and “In Common” below.
Next week Drake will return as both host and musical guest, which will surely be an entertaining episode given his first stint as host and musical guest.
The season finale of SNL will air on May 21 and feature SNL alum Fred Armisen as host as well as musical guest Courtney Barnett.
