“once you’re generally asian, that’s as far as anyone looks into it” lmao well damn

[greghannibal]

"I just sensed it was a trap." This man knows Twitter!

[EchoTheSpaceGoblin]

"God took their sight and now you want to take their job."

[RanaPrabat]

"ONCE YOU'RE GENERALLY ASIAN THAT'S AS FAR AS ANYBODY LOOKS INTO IT." so true 🤣

[kentmcgowan]

Idris Elba is always the right choice. I look forward to his eventual portrayal of Queen Elizabeth in her biopic.

“Acting is about becoming yourself but with a different haircut” says the actor wearing a wig

[TeenoGames]

"Rami Malek is the only person who can play anybody"
[Fred Armisen stares from backstage]

1:18 "Now it's about becoming yourself but with a different haircut" said Kenan, wearing a different haircut.

[MyChannel]

“now it’s about playing yourself with a different haircut” - bold words from keenan who has almost entirely been playing himself in different haircuts for the past 5 years

I love kenans subtle 4th wall break at 4:08 when he reacts to the audience member's reaction. So funny

[aaronac]

The entire sketch was built around that last joke, and that's genius.

[gabes]

"In a comedy we will accept it"
bahahaha

[Wolfman]

Keenan's cadence and delivery is just always on point. Dude is a hilarious machine.

[crazychristopher]

Jackie: "He absolutely cannot. He is not black enough."
David: "What?"

[WinterLake]

As a Chinese American, that joke about choosing generally Asian actors to play any Asian role cracked me up.

[hecticdmc]

A five-minute sketch skewering Twitter outrage culture. I love it.

[sundragon]

“Do you really wanna be the guy who put on green face?” 😂

[DinsRune]

"Which actor can play Japanese?"
"Scarlet Johansen, apparently."

[TheatricsOfTheAbsurd]

SNL isn't getting enough credit for stepping its game up recently.
