Ima need an SNL sketch with Aubrey and Conan O'Brien doing their old timey voices, and John Mulaney just talking normally

[luneytunes]

"what's natural about that?"
"the causes"
saw it coming from a mile away and still the delivery took me out 🤣

[kiwikiwifruitfruit]

So nice to see Janet Snakehole booked and busy… but surely it should be Burt Macklin on the case?!

[addisonratcatcher]

"Is it a crime to want a man who can eat a plum to completion?"
What the hell 😭😭😭

[TheSunnydeni]

"Of course a knockout like you walks in the night before my rhinoplasty" omfg I'm dying 🤣🤣🤣 what a good sport he is. The best line in the entire sketch 👌

I'm happy to see James Austin Johnson getting to break out of just doing impressions or playing supporting parts. He fits into those black and white '40s roles to a tee, so much like what Jon Lovitz or Phil Hartman used to do. You could tell they had to rush this to get it into the episode, but everybody involved did a good job and I hope it's just the start for these types of sketches coming back onto the show.

Now I really need to see Aubrey Plaza in some real film noir. She's a knockout in vintage garb. But she's pretty much a knockout in any era.

“Murdered for reasons that would throw old Siggy Freud for a loop”
My favourite line in the sketch lmao somehow I’ve never heard anyone call Freud “Siggy” till now. That’s the only thing I’m gonna call him from now on.

Aubrey getting to play a whole range of characters in all the sketches last night was an absolute treat. There’s just something about this film noir one in particular that’s simply *chef kiss*, it’s so perfect. She just Gets It!!!! Ugh!!!! Love it

[blackdudemedia]

The light balance on this skit is beautiful.

"Can really stink up a chair." Lmfao

[batgurrl]

SNL really does these period pieces well. Aubrey NAILED this part so very well. ‘Mother’ pshowing up was unsuspected. I like them desperate and kooky🤣

[gunm]

Sharon Stone! Wow this one had so many celebs in it!

[shoooop]

Even if I had a crystal ball, I’d never guess that Sharon Stone, Tony Hawk, and the property brothers would be the guests tonight

[TheLegendaryMovieCritic]

Aubrey Plaza slayed as a femme fatale!

[alirza]

Did you notice the skit ends with the shadow of his "big nose" on the wall? It was genius! 😆👃👃👃

[michaeleverett]

Aubrey did an awesome job selling her Black widow character. I've always seen her as a real Femme Fatale anyway. I just hope her husband's doing okay right now.

[Joselitty]

Omg the way he delivers that rhinoplasty joke .. I love it

[billybutcher]

Best host in a long time. She killed every sketch. This one was perfect for her

[jessetorres]

Not gonna lie, I thought James was closer to (if not already) 40, so when he said he was 33 in the sketch I looked it up & yep that's his age.
