John Mulaney is hosting the final SNL prior to the election, and a new promo shows him receiving notes from Bob Dylan, played by James Austin Johnson.
episode promos are often about 20 seconds in length and feature little more than the host, the musical guest, a cast member or two, and a very lame joke that fades from memory about 12 seconds after you hear it, at best. But leave it toto put together a nearly two-minute promo that’s funnier than just about anything that’s aired on the actual show this season, as much as we’ve enjoyed Dana Carvey’s brilliant Joe Biden impersonation.
It begins with Mulaney reading from a cue card. “Last week I was in Luxembourg, where I ran into music producer Shooter Jennings at one of the country’s many castles,” he reads. “I told him how much I enjoyed the song ‘Chip Away’ by Duff McKagan.” That is indeed a real Duff McKagan/Shooter Jennings song from 2019, but it remained highly obscure untilstaffer that wrote up such a bizarre promo, and sees that it’s indeed Bob Dylan, played by James Austin Johnson.
The real Bob Dylan, meanwhile, is continuing to post messages on X. “Nick Newman had replied to a tweet a few weeks back asking me what movies I would recommend,”with Lon Chaney and go from there.” For you non-cinephiles, he’s talking about a 1927 silent horror film starring Chaney as a knife thrower at a carnival. It’s the exact kind of movie Dylan loves, and further evidence that he’s writing these X posts himself.Robert Downey Jr.
