NASA Shutdown - SNL

Two distressed astronauts (Taran Killam, Cecily Strong) contact NASA for help and find that the government shutdown has left only two janitors (Kenan Thompson, Kate McKinnon) to guide them back to Earth. [Season 39, 2013]

At the end they ran out of oxygen and started hallucinating. They died thinking they are SNL hosts

Am I the only one waiting for the janitor to say “Uhhh... Houston’s not here right now, it’s just Carl”

[MrDino]

Ironic to stumble upon this skit in 2019 just as the US government is shut down....again.

"the government is shut down"
the audience: 👏 🙌😄😆

[yoda]

My father actually was a NASA contractor when this skit originally aired. He just watched it with me and even he said because of that shutdown he just retired after 50 plus years.

Fortunately, the country learned its lesson in 2013 and there will never be another shutdown.

despite the horrendous sudden cut to the intro music, this time it was OK because the pitch of the cold open yell was in the right key so it blended together p well

Awyisss, _Deep Nine Space_ and the wonderful _Battleguy Galasbol_ were some terrific shows.

[freezerino]

I love Battleguy Galaxball, best show

[mincrafter]

turns out i'm the only essential employee, but I could've told you that months ago.

[elliott]

Kenan will never fail to make me happy.

[quinndarr]

Once they lose all their air, it’s going to be a very “cold” open

[joaoaurelio]

The sketch gets a total new life after what's been going on since last year. Great sketch

[alli-gator-forest]

Hey, this is surprisingly relevant nowadays

[someonefar]

Carl is busy sanitizing the chairs while the rest of NASA is working from home 😁

[mayureshkulkarni]

They are moving their legs like they are in water not in space😂😂

[jarodmoodley]

[denism]
