There are a lot of great dynamic duos -- Holmes and Watson, Tom and Jerry, Lucy and Ethel. One of my favorite duos is Tina and Amy. These women are two of the funniest people and best role models. I have looked to them for inspiration for years. And so have countless other people. My friend and I have called ourselves Amy and Tina for years too. Guthrie and I love to be funny together, and I definitely think we have a similar spirit to the two women. We too have played sisters in the play our drama club did in our senior year of high school. She really is like my sister. Because of all of this, my love for this duo is pretty big.

Tina and Amy did not disappoint in their return to "Saturday Night Live." Years have passed since the women were cast members, and the show itself has certainly changed a lot since then. But Tina and Amy’s humor was the same as always, and a lot of the time it brought back the tone that the show had while they were on it. Their monologue involved an original Christmas song in which Tina was traditional and Amy was pop. The contrast and harmony that happened at the same time in their monologue was charming and very funny.

Pretty much every skit with Tina and Amy was really good. But a few stood out. Early on was a skit in which Kate McKinnon played Hillary Clinton. After she goes to sleep in her pajamas, which include a tweed jacket and suit pants, she is awakened by 2008 Hillary, played by Amy Poehler. They talk about their elections and celebrate the fact that they have to win if they’re running against Donald Trump. They are also joined by Sarah Palin, played by Tina Fey. Palin tries to give advice, but winds up spewing out random, nonsensical words and phrases. It was great to see Tina and Amy play characters that they had called theirs before.

Another hilarious skit started with the women in a mock interview about their new movie "Sisters." It then moved into them talking about their “squad” in a parody of Taylor Swift’s "Bad Blood." Their squad was made up of the many women that help them out day to day, like their nannies. It also included Amy Schumer. Parodies are often done poorly, but this one was good. It displayed a kind of realistic girl power and didn’t seem to weakly mock the original like a lot of parodies do.

There were certain moments that pushed boundaries. One skit involved a game show called “Meet Your Second Wife.” The men were shocked to find out that their future wives were in middle school, age 5, and unborn. Shocking is way too mild of a word to use in describing this skit. It was pretty harsh. Another skit had Tina Fey playing a pop singer and singing “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” with Keenan Thompson looking quite a lot like Bill Cosby. Fey’s character realizes that the situation is fishy and leaves. Still, this segment too was a little harsh. Both skits were a strong commentary on the issues they were based on, but they pushed it a little far.

One of the best moments was probably when Tina and Amy returned to the Weekend Update desk. They wheeled in on their rolling chairs and delivered the last two jokes of the segment. They did so with their dry and charming sarcasm. It was a segment with a lot of nostalgia and happiness.

The episode was pretty strong overall. It had some other great guests, like Maya Rudolph and Paul McCartney, who came onstage with the cast while Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and performed “Santa Clause Is Coming to Town.” No matter what, it was wonderful to see Tina and Amy back at home.
