The moral of this SNL sketch is 'never give Benedict Cumberbatch too much control of the Chain Gang.'
Prison isn't so bad if you snitch or at least that's what happened when one prisoner sang in the chain gang with his fellow inmates. Benedict Cumberbatch hosted Saturday Night Live for the second time and with it came a hilarious twist on the idea of a chain gang. To help pass the time while they're working outside, a group of prisoners that include Cumberbatch, Kenan Thompson, James Austin Johnson, and Chris Redd all are singing about their problems in prison and how they got there.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The big continues pretty much that way throughout the entire sketch. Cumberbatch talks about the things he does, and then it's revealed what "gift" he's gotten in response. It starts simple enough with a fun drink to make it feel better outside and just continues to escalate from there.The greatest part, obviously, is when the warden's wife comes to visit her husband and see Cumberbatch with a piece of cherry pie on his face.
We know that Cumberbatch is funny, and we've even seen him shine as a host before, but this episode just really felt like everyone understood what makes him great and used that to their advantage. Especially in sketches like "Chain Gang" that let him have just a weird bit of fun.
