Ana Gasteyer is simply brilliant in this. Her NPR demeanor is spot-on!

[seanfaherty]

I grew up on traditional Irish cooking
It was a great day in 1981 when my father found out you could put garlic in food. a game changer as they say

[jennifergersch]

Drratch's description of steamed cabbage is absolutely genius. So talented.

[KiaTheDMVBison]

I listen to NPR shows like this. This skit is 100% on point.

That one guy in the audience was having the time of his life!

2:58 "He's here to steer us through the lepre-pros and lepre-chauns of Irish cooking." Love the bad puns.

[TiqueO]

Anna is always flawless in this sketch (and so many others)! She strikes just the right amount of deadpan-enthusiasm and angst-filled joy that few can sustain so long. Most of her sidekicks either 'break' or are a little too happy. Rachel get it just about right, must be a tough balance to pull off.

"He's here to steer us through the lepre-pros and lepre-cons of Irish cooking..."

[TeeBeeBad]

That guy in the audience laughing cracks me up!!!

[paulmorrow]

Lol. Yeah his accent starts off Belfast and ends up Dublin having wandered several counties in between. Hilarious none the less. Loved it.

[remcomettrop]

If you can't stand the heat get out of the fldacdhaoflolongh hahaha omg I laughed so hard. She pronounces that like a pro, hats off to her

[josevaldez]

Electrifying kaleidoscope of Irish flat breads... fookyeah!!!!

[JenniferPChung]

CLASSIC! Gasteyer nailed the tone lol. Dratch's facial expressions are spot on. The combination of their timing and little subtleties is PERFECT!!!

[nedswebjunk]

"...I'm really lonely sometimes" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[roberttrail]

How they could not break character is amazing. The writers of this sketch are brilliant.

[JBiggsofWSNC]

"You're dangerously anemic."

[MsSavagechef]

Ah, how I miss those days of Lent, when thoughts of Gran's cod cobbler was all that kept us going through the starving purgatory of Mass. Well, that and the flask cleverly hid in my hollow missal.

[rickregala]

i like how she looks so confident about her jokes, hahaha

[NotAnAngryLesbian]

I yearn to stew cabbage under the light of a romantic moon.

3:13 Rachel’s delivery here is superb, and Ana’s gentle stroking of the book added that extra pinch of bewilderingly intense reverence.
