Every once in a while, SNL has some absolute gems. Here are a few:
The Untold Jay-Z Story- Mike O’Brien plays Jay Z in this raw, honest, definitely-100%-accurate biographies of one of America’s most well-known artists. With guest appearances from Kanye West and Nas, this documentary tells the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, about Jay-Z's hard-knock life.
Undercover Boss - Adam Driver shows off his comedic chops in this brilliant parody of Undercover Boss. His overly dramatic Kylo Ren (aka Matt) is perfect, and watching him try and figure out the ins and outs of being a radar technician is amazing.
Alien Abduction - Ryan Gosling and Aidy Bryant can’t even hold it together during this sketch because Kate McKinnon brings her A game (as she always does). She retells the story of her less-than-stellar alien abduction and makes this sketch comedy gold.
The Californians - this ongoing soap opera that includes Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, and Fred Armison is one of the best series’ SNL has ever done. The roads of LA are a major plot point and their over the top dramatic facial expressions are so funny that even the actors break into laughter.
The Hobbit Office- If there's one thing I love more than the Office, it's the Hobbit office. The contrast between the fantastic characters of the Hobbit and the commonplace vibe we love about the Office meet in this great sketch.
