Saturday Night Live Recap: Oscar Isaac Is a Dreamboat in Rough ... (Vulture)

Oscar Isaac makes his hosting debut, and Kenan hits the 1500-sketch milestone. A recap of all the sketches from Saturday Night Live's March 5, 2022 episode, ...

(“I used to wear a size nine; now I’m a men’s 15.”) This is a fun “Weekend Update” character, but I’d love to see Ego play a character like this in a whole sketch. Kate misunderstands the bill and believes kids won’t be allowed to pejoratively say the word “gay” (“I was kind of tortured by the word gay. Kate’s reaction is so good, and again through her unique personal experiences and her uncanny ability to nail punchlines, she always elevates SNL. (“So one kid can say ‘I live with my parents,’ but another kid has to say, ‘I live in a house with two adult men who bought me when I was young’?”) It’s a very touching and powerful segment. Kate stops by “Weekend Update” to speak about Florida’s Parents Rights in Education Bill, which critics are calling the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. The white ones.” Even though it’s fun for Isaac to poke fun at how racist Hollywood is, SNL itself hasn’t had a male Latino cast member in ten years. He was cast in The Addams Family, but in the cartoon version.

'SNL': Oscar Isaac Shares Clips From Ninja Movie He Shot As A Kid ... (ETCanada.com)

Oscar Isaac took to the Studio 8 H stage for his debut Global's “Saturday Night Live” monologue over the weekend, and shared a look at his first-ever movie ...

As for Isaac’s childhood friend, Bruce Ferguson, the actor said, “He’s at home watching and he had no idea our old movie was going to be on ‘SNL’. I actually had to sign a licensing agreement to show it. No, this was ‘The Avenger’, which is a movie that I wrote, directed, and starred in when I was 10 years old.” “I’m joining the marvel universe, with Moon Knight. You know, it’s kind of a full-circle moment since the first movie I was ever in was called ‘The Avenger’,” Isaac shared.

Saturday Night Live: Oscar Isaac & Charli XCX March 5, 2022 ... (Exclaim!)

Oscar Isaac was a highly enthused host and generous performer, and Charli XCX was effectively over-the-top in her two musical performances,...

While the women in the group (beyond Bryant, we encountered the normally busy Isaac turned up as a burnt out guy named Felix who tried to do his own electrical, and of course electrocuted himself and is no longer all that sentient. Aidy Bryanttold us that after playing so many generic women on the show, she'd been rewarded with writing and staging a special sketch of her own. Showing photos of a barely clad Rhianna, Pauline hilariously described one of her black lace outfits as something one might wear at a "sex funeral." Michael Cheeach began their first Update runs with some funny jokes about the American response to the Ukraine conflict. In its overt sexuality, with threat-like boasts of romantic conquest, everything about this song and its performance seemed like a laughable parody of desire. Charli danced and gave her all to a performance of the slight "Beg for You." It likely means that at least one SNL writer has a child who just discovered Paw Patrol and is running the house mad with a relentless rotation of episodes of the popular dog-centric animated show, inspiring this satirical send-up of its lack of logic. Fineman was great in this rather meta sketch that showed off some backstage life at SNL, and it was all quite funny. After referencing his half-Cuban and half-Guatemalan heritage and how he's perceived in Hollywood, Isaac did a rather remarkable thing by screening clips from his film The Avenger, which he himself wrote, directed and starred in when he was 10 years old. Oscar Isaac bounded out for his first-ever hosting turn and immediately charmed the crowd. Pete Davidson was missing again completely and other regulars barely made it on air in what was a solid

'SNL': Aidy Bryant bamboozles host Oscar Isaac into playing out her ... (USA TODAY)

'SNL' comedian Aidy Bryant wrote herself into a sketch with Oscar Isaac and played his love interest, the "most widely desired woman in the world."

The writers are so annoying and stupid, I would say I guess just go with it?" "I don't know. Is that a mistake?" "I'm sorry, it says my real name on the card. "Why did I choose Oscar Isaac for this sketch? Bryant said before the show cut back to the sketch where Isaac's lovestruck character was brushing Bryant's hair.

A super-charming Oscar Isaac makes his Saturday Night Live debut (unknown)

When Oscar Isaac was announced as the Saturday Night Live host, I was psyched—and a little worried. While his breakout role in the Coen brothers' Inside ...

The musical guest was Charli XCX, who makes a kind of dance-pop I really like. When the original cast would self-refer—when Bill Murray would do a confessional monologue about how he feared he wasn’t “making it on the show”—it was different and interesting. That wasn’t the case tonight, which was the strongest Update of the season so far. He was comfortable in everything and elevated everything he was in. It was a reminder of how great a utility player Bryant has been on the show and a sharp comment on sizeism. I am really impressed by Sherman—I think her Weekend Update debut was one of the highlights of the season so far—and I get that body horror is one of her things. This was a random choice for the first sketch. He introduced himself to those unfamiliar with his work and quickly dispatched something of an elephant in the room, noting that his last name is Hernandez, or, “as casting directors call it, ethnically ambiguous.” He proceeded to show home video footage of a VHS home movie he made as an eight-year-old called “The Avenger,” a ninja pastiche that ended with him licking a bloody sword. It was a cute idea that ran aground in about a minute. The Aidy’s Dream sketch was a much-deserved showcase for SNL’s secret weapon, Aidy Bryant. The premise: She’s played teachers, principals, and hausfrauen for 10 years, and if she did 150 of such roles, SNL would let her write her own sketch. “The real victims of this invasion—the oligarchs.” While his breakout role in the Coen brothers’ Inside Llewyn Davis showed he was capable of a light(ish) touch, Isaac was still a Juilliard-trained actor who specialized in heavy lifting of themes both supernatural (Star Wars, X-Men, Dune) and marital (HBO’s recent Scenes from a Marriage). You root for any SNL host who is that proficient.

Kate McKinnon skewers 'Don't Say Gay' bill, Oscar Isaac hosts (unknown)

This week's 'SNL' — hosted by Oscar Isaac with musical guest Charli XCX — tackled Ukraine, Anna Delvey and Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' bill.

What if the setting of Nickelodeon’s popular children’s cartoon, “PAW Patrol,” was a real town? “When I was in middle school in the ‘90s, I was tortured by the constant use of the word gay. I think that was a bad idea, and I’m not alone.... “I called the president of Ukraine pathetic. ... If the ‘90s were right, and gay means bad, then this is the gayest law I have ever seen.” “I kept saying we should be more worried about our own border getting invaded by Mexico,” Moffat’s Carlson added. And I think these laws are lesbians — sorry, unconscionable. And in Florida, of all places.” Because, every once in a while, one of those weirdos grows up to host ‘SNL.’” “We did sound pretty awful in hindsight and foresight,” McKinnon’s Ingraham said. I’m half Guatemalan, half Cuban. Or, as casting directors call that, ‘ethnically ambiguous.’ According to them, I can play anything from a pharaoh to Timothée Chalamet’s daddy.” “I said to Hollywood, ‘You can pick two of these names.’ Guess what they went with?
