Jenna Ortega commits to the crazy as 'SNL' takes on Lt. Gov. McNally and those gay thirst traps in funniest episode of the season
After some funny promos ahead of the show, we were surprised at how subdued Jenna was in this monologue. It was mostly played straight by her, talking about her career and her love of horror projects. She did get some funny jokes in along the way, like having a face people want to throw blood on, as well as her horror remix of a toothpaste ad she did at nine years old. Fred Armisen was far more playful as her"Wednesday" co-star when she briefly brought him up on stage.
This wasn't the sharpest or funniest sketch, but it's worth it to see"SNL" step away from feeling forced into a political colden open. That's been weakening the opening most weeks for years now. There were enough fun moments, and great performances from Heidi and Chloe, to keep the energy up. Marcello clearly enjoyed having a cold open spotlight, though it was so obvious early on how nervous he was against a pro like Heidi. Luckily, he settled down a bit and was … fine.
