Shannon wore a fitted blue blazer and donned a mullet wig to play Jeannie Darcy, the deadpan comedian who cannot deliver a solid joke.
“Have you guys heard of this TikTok thing? The only tick tock I hear is my biological clock,” she told the crowd before repeating her signature catchphrase. “Don’t get me started. Don’t even get me started.”Cast member Ego Nwodim then popped up in a hat and glasses, channeling comedian Arsenio Hall.
“No one brings it like Jeannie Darcy. And this time the Darcinator’s live, which means you’re hearing her jokes at the same time she’s telling them,” she said, slowly realizing that the live special goes against Netflix’s streaming model of watching shows at your convenience.“My friend got a dog and always complains he messes up her house and jumps in her bed. I said, ‘Are you sure it’s a dog? Or is it my ex-husband?’ Who’s with me?” she asked the crowd.
“I love how the audience respects her by really making sure they don’t get her started. They couldn’t risk it,” one person joked.Others pointed out how similar the sketch was to actual comedy specials. “Legit better than 98% of real stand ups,” one YouTube user said. Even Netflix Is A Joke, the streaming giant’s official comedy festival account, joined in on the fun and commented, “Can’t wait for her to get started.” They also shared her skit on Twitter with a special message:"BREAKING: Jeannie Darcy signs a 5-special deal with Netflix. All LIVE"“Molly Shannon was one of the best SNL cast members of all time,” one viewer wrote. “She carried so many sketches when she was on and is usually overlooked.
