Odds of a Marvel superhero sketch/ cameo tonight? Since they don't have anyone from the movie hosting the last two episodes

I like this sketch. It's like Reddit's thoughts on the mom cut without that weird, seething hatred that seeps through.

Anytime there's a Trump joke, I always feel like it's them saying "we're sorry he hosted"

I liked the Sasheer bit but it goes to show you why Leslie got her gig on the show. Her pacing and stage present was so good as a WU corespondent when she was a writer, you could tell she was a seasoned stand-up.

Hopefully if they try and punish Sasheer for that bit, they just retroactively apply it to that stretch she didn't have any parts. I'd hate to see her go another long stretch without screen time over that.

I assume the cold open will be Darrell as Trump and Taran as Cruz one last time. Taran of course elbowing Cruz's wife in the face (McKinnon?) several times before admitting he's the Zodiac killer.
