The page tour gag was hit-or-miss, as in the skeletons in the closet visual gag fell completely flat, but we did get a laugh out of Kenan Thompson asking her for a coffee as if she was still a page .

Aubrey's nun was in the midst of an existential crisis after"dying for two minutes" in the bathtub over the weekend, leading to some great commentary from her.
