"He got on his knees and begged but you know how much I hate when someone kneels"
Damn that one cut DEEP

James Austin Johnson puts in the WORK. Jeez his impersonations and reading are so clean.

[saniyahgeorgessg]

“2019 was a different era” yooo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[billyeveryteen]

It's really hard to believe this is only James Austin Johnson's third episode. Ever. This dude is an absolute freaking natural. He's got the effortless confidence of someone who's been on the show for a decade.

i was so shocked to finally see colin in a sketch

[postoffice]

*"2019 was a different era."* 😂😂So funny but true.

[TheGrandGamers]

Colin Jost outside of Weekend Update is blowing my mind. Please SNL include him in more shit! Michael Che as well! You would be fools not to!

[superbrownbrown]

*"Like my team, I have no name."*

*That line made me laugh more than I expected.*

[Jessica-gocy]

“When you see me in TV it isn’t good”, dang Colin Jost, he’s really working it tonight.

[MOSTGHALONE]

Don't lose Keenan. He's the most intelligent person on the cast.

[blipmachine]

James Austin Johnson has the confidence of a 12-year SNL veteran contemplating his retirement unless Lorne triples his salary.

[ebrady]

I am glad Colin is getting other sketches, but I miss Beck Bennett so much, SNL is not the same without him.

At every sports press conference I see now, I expect a reporter to stand up from the seats and say, “Trent Crimm, The Independent.” #tedlasso

[kendrawallace]

Kenan's "Reading Rainbow" parody was perfect 👌💛

[Jophelerx]

As a Jeopardy fan, "Suck on that, Mayim Bialik!" had me in shreds. Brilliant.

[cici]

I love the "pick me" cheerleader lmfao "You guys its

[danielwest]

Writers really went wild in the last three minutes.

Just when I thought Giuseppe was going to be the most unexpected part of the sketch, Levar Burton makes an appearance.

[superjaded]

“Donald trumps haircut gave me a haircut” 😆

[CoreyAMoore]

"You all know how much I hate to see people kneel" ... that was hilarious 😂 🤣🤣

James Austin Johnson has been a main player in all three of the cold opens of his SNL career. Goodness, there was no time for a learning curve. They said to hell with easing the man into the show
