Chris Rock's return to SNL received a comedic boost from his long-time friend Adam Sandler. Their sketch involving blood squirters and a 'Victorian ghost' nurse was a highlight of the night.
Rock works best with a mic in his hand, alas. In sketches, he's going to read a cue card like it’s the bottom row of an eye exam. He fared okay in “Mall Santas,” taunting white parents with the options of getting their child’s photo on the lap of a Black Santa or a white one. “What is your preference?” he goaded.
“What do you want Grandma to do with the picture? Do you want to put it on the fridge or in the garage?” To throw shoppers into further disarray he upped the ante with the additional options of a queer female Santa, ho ho ho Jane Wickline, and Emil Wakim looking greasy in a wife beater as Arab Santa. Just when the show seemed in danger of flat-lining, Chris Rock got a super boost from his old pal Adam Sandler. Sarah Sherman played a needy dingbat of a nurse whom Rock's doctor didn't want his team taking to task. “When she cries she sounds like a Victorian ghost,” he said, in one of the better lines of the night. Up popped the patient from under his surgical blanket and wouldn't you know, it was Sandler wearing one of his trademark Hawaiian shirts. Sandler has to work to get his blood squirter to go off in Sherman's face, but then he went to town spraying Ego Nwodim, Bowen Yang, and Wakim, whom the old-timer delighted in telling “So glad you're getting air time, good luck, hope your parents are proud of you.” The highlight of the night was Sandler making Rock open his mouth wide to take a gusher of blood down the hatch. It was a big enough wave to shoot Rock's glasses straight off his face. Now what to do about Weekend Update? The shtick of Colin Jost and Michael Che, individually and especially as a duo, has grown increasingly tedious. We seem stuck in a pattern of Jost reminding us of what a sullen nerd he was in high school, or him getting teased in some fashion about marrying up with Scarlett Johannson. Meanwhile, we can take bets that Che is going to have a snicker over some lame misogynistic joke that doesn’t get laughs from the studio audienc
