Well, we’re thinking that the real highlight of last night’s Saturday Night Live was the “Teacher’s Snow Day” video where J.K. Simmons ditched his pants–but it’s Super Bowl Sunday, so let’s give the cold opening Seahawks Press Conference a big salute. It’s partly equal time for last week’s fine New England’s Patriots Super Bowl Press Conference, but the sketch was also a fine start to the show.
Keenan Thompson, of course, has little to do in his role as Marshawn Lynch, except to keep repeating, “Thank you for asking me to the first few questions asked of him.” Guess we just gave away that joke. Jay Pharoah is still lots of fun as Richard Sherman. The entire sketch is pretty much just a chance for the SNL writers to clear out more Deflategate jokes and some Snowicane Juno gags that didn’t make it into “Weekend Update,” but that’s okay. If you missed the sketch last night, consider this the start of your Super Bowl Pre-Game Show…
….and what the hell, here’s Teacher’s Snow Day, too…
