Cecily Strong says goodbye reviving one of her most beloved “Weekend Update” characters, and screaming one last time as Kimberly Guilfoyle (via toofab)
The frantic energy and pace of a typical PDD piece worked perfectly for their pitch of plastic shirts to Austin Butler. They claimed they only make $30 per video so desperately need the money, but it was all the little verbal and visual details that made the piece a success. And finally, we got a twist at the end that worked for what came before, and didn't completely derail the sketch's momentum.
It's such a clever conceit, made even more so by Heidi Gardner's frustrated wife character berating Andrew Dismukes as her husband and revealing perhaps a bit too much to children Sarah Sherman and Marcello Hernandez. All the saccharine sweetness of classic holiday movies outside and domestic disharmony inside. Didn't love the twist ending, but overall the approach was brilliant.
