Pete Davidson’s return toSaturday Night Livewith musical guestIce Spicedelivered a night full of hilarious sketches including one which parodied the Wired Autocomplete Interview. The sketch revisited those awkward moments when the celebrities read the questions that they don’t quite know how to answer. In the parody, Disney has a new TV show, and it’s all about Stark Labs! The cast members are ready to promote the Disney+ series and are excited to talk about themselves. But for one actor, it’s less about actually getting to know him at all.
Davidson plays an actorwho is asked only about one thing he’s done and that’s all about him being the guy who had diarrhea on a Delta flight that was so bad they had to turnthe plane around and land it. If you were the man who happened to be the reason that a flight had to turn around, maybe don’t also try to become a famous Hollywood actor which would lead to people searching up questions about your past over and over again. Davidson’s character, Zach Elliot, just wanted people to know more about him and ask fun questions about him. Instead, he only got questions about his diarrhea incident that was so bad, the plan was grounded because of it.
Wheneach roundcomes back to Zach, and he just constantly is asked about the unfortunate plane ride, he starts to get upset that no one wants to know about other parts of his life.Davidson is great as the awkward character, making himself so believably small. Genuinely having fun with a character like Zach Elliot in the midst of the chaotic role, made Davidson a fun watch for audiences.
A Great Way to Bring in a News Story
Saturday Night Liveis often knownfor bringing in news items that we’ve seen on social media or in the papers, and have become obsessed with. Sometimes, it doesn’t always work and would feel forced; and in recent years,Saturday Night Livehas turned to making their newsy sketches reminiscent of memes you’ve seen on Twitter. The approach to the Delta Flight Diarrhea story is still worth it though and a hilarious way of making sure that fans are still getting to laugh with the news instead of rolling their eyes.
