1920's Party - Saturday Night Live

At a party in 1920s New York, William (Jon Hamm) sits down to play the piano while the host, Lilia (Kristen Wiig), forces her way into the act despite not knowing the words to any songs and insisting, "Don't make me sing." [Season 35, 2010]

I need to start going to parties and just keep saying “don’t make me sing”

[timothymbess]

Pianist here. This is the story of my life with people at parties.

Iceberg: just chillin'
Titanic: "Don't make me sink!"

How do you know when there is a singer at your door? Because she can't find the key and doesn't know when to come in.

[thomaskerby]

“Wrong key”
“You’re the one playing the keys!”
That got me 😂😂

[penguincommunity]

Those guests were so rude! Begging her to sing then matching her up with some schmo who can’t even play!

[nonyabizness]

"I'm not upset, I'm just angry" 😂

I love the Mid-Atlantic accents of that era that the actors were speaking.

[raindropsneverfall]

Kristen Wiig is terrific! She really lives and breathes her roles she’s playing.

[GarrettWatts]

This might be my favorite SNL sketch of all time. It’s perfect.

[RollOpeo]

John hamm is perfect in this, no lookin at his lines offscreen, no awkward hesitation, great guest

[Kasino]

I could meditate to Hader's voice when he does his deep aristocratic voice. It's so soothing.

[macattack]

"I'm going to sit over here with my clams, and watch the alleycats on the fire escape... cause they understand me." Me at every party

[dianadoraen]

Plot twist: there are actually a lot of ghosts in the room and only she can hear them making her sing.

[shai]

I love that there's no need to have this sketch in the 20s, they do it for the aesthetic.

[liquidsnakeckw]

don't make me comment, but now i have to. i have no choice

[TorkG]

"Just nod when you want me to come in.. oh, hello!" 😂

[shhsjjbbjs]

I’ve been seeing “don’t make me sing” in the comments of every snl musical sketch for SO LONG and I finally know what it’s from

[amberbeltran]

"I'm not upset, just angry." LOL Classic line!

[TomRipley]

"I don't know what this party is anymore."
