SNL’s ‘At Home’ finale features Alec Baldwin, Kristen Wiig, Boyz II Men and more
It’s fairly remarkable how the show was able to create a familiar sense of rhythm, while remaining unpredictable, in a scant three episodes. The finale followed suit, with a dash of Mother’s Day flair.
Things always kick off with a celebrity guest, such as Tom Hanks “hosting” the first episode or Brad Pitt impersonating Dr. Anthony S. Fauci in the second episode’s cold open. The finale reached back to an old favorite, once again featuring Alec Baldwin as President Trump, this time as commencement speaker at a high school graduation taking place on Zoom. “Believe in yourselves, and you can achieve anything. Look at me.
Josh Gad joined the cast in singing an ode to letting kids drink booze for Mother’s Day. And Tina Fey appeared on Weekend Update to offer a special prayer for mothers, saying, “Give us the courage to change the things we can, like our Zoom backgrounds.”Eventually, as the formula goes, a surprise musician must appear to play a beloved song.
The sketches, meanwhile, mostly tackled our collective quarantine life. In one, Kenan Thompson played a pastor preaching over to Zoom to a congregation that doesn’t know how to mute its collective mics, creating an awkward feedback loop. Another found Mikey Day’s son playing pranks on his pops — like putting thumbtacks on his toilet seat or changing the name of every contact in his phone to “Gigi Hadid” — and putting the footage on YouTube.
