I wonder at what point the writers had so many bad ideas for Queen's Gambit sketches that they realized that THAT was the sketch all along?

[-tfu-]

I love how Anya just has ‘ Netflix’ in her contacts and addresses the person receiving the phone as Netflix

[deathmelon]

I'm a big fan of the meta-SNL skits where they portray fictionalized versions of themselves. It's so much fun

[dux]

The world ended and we kept doing our skits

damn snl.

[ericnikus]

I want to watch a whole season of Mr. Bean's Gambit.

[moua]

Bowen should have pitched Yass Queen’s Gambit and it would just be drag race but with chess pieces

[amberd.]

"Hey Anya? How do you think I'm doing? Because a lot of people have been asking me that lately." I swear that woman speaks my mind every time.

[kamionero]

I would like the Queens Gambit.
“Pawn, what my husband watches”

[helenburke]

Kate asking if Elon really happened was something else though lol

[michellelara]

they should've actually done Kate's it sounded funny

[valeriepark]

The amount of time and money spent on 3-second sketches for this one clip is INSANE

[MrM-fstb]

The fact SNL acknowledges how bad elon’s week was is hilarious to me

[blipmachine]

Honestly all 15 sketches tonight should have been queen's gambit puns.

[katekramer]

"How do you think I'm doing? Because a lot of people have been asking me that." Relatable.

[BeSkeptical]

Queen's Gambit: She's a mutant who throws energized chess pieces at enemies.

[caelynswendner]

kates delivery of the "what?" at 2:19 is perfect shes so good

[rubenm]

You can't lie the borat idea wasn't half bad

[XLDave]

I totally want to see Mr. Bean's Gambit.

[imfromdowntown]

Should have had Mikey Day show up and say “Hey Anya, I got this character named Matt Shatt and we could be...” Kate yells “leave Mikey!”

[karinarivera]

"Dairy Queen's Damn Bitch" I know I throw this phrase around a lot, but this time I am LITERALLY IN TEARS
