'Russian Doll's Natasha Lyonne Lampoons Netflix, Is Impersonated ... (Deadline)

Natasha Lyonne tonight hosted her first episode of 'SNL', speaking in her opening monologue about her Netflix show 'Russian doll' and more.

Lyonne admitted that she went “to hell and back” at that time, and that life was once rough. Oh, and a cult favorite called But I’m a Cheerleader.” We then cut to a clip of Lyonne as Opal in a 1986 appearance on Pee-wee’s Playhouse, which she joked is her “best work” to date. “We’re the only couple with a sex tape nobody wanted to buy,” she joked, then transitioning back to discussing her love of SNL. “Here’s a clip of me from one of my earliest roles.” Lyonne went on to say that she’s “genuinely humbled” to be hosting NBC’s sketch series and that the truth is, she feels “a cosmic connection” to it.

<em>Saturday Night Live</em> recap: Natasha Lyonne makes ... (EW.com)

Saturday Night Live recap: Natasha Lyonne makes hosting debut on final episode of season 47, with musical guest Japanese Breakfast.

I love the classic energy here, as the camera zooms in on Bryant and Yang. We are going to miss Bryant for a variety of reasons, and this recent hit is one of them. —Thank you to the wonderful Siobhan Fallon Hogan. Her movie Rushed is opening in Ireland, England, Australia, and New Zealand on June 22. (Naturally, Day is shocked and embarrassed, which is par for the course.) "I have observations on different races!" Last but not least: our man Pete Davidson. The same Pete who grew up on SNL, who became a tabloid sensation, who started the show as a 20-year-old and blew up. I will say — while I never loved this sketch — it is clearly a favorite for McKinnon and given her departure, totally game to have it be the cold open. I love sketches like this at the end of the season. Speaking of Lyonne's prior life as a child star, former SNLer Gary Kroeger recently shared this anecdote with me: "In 1990 I was making a low budget film in Israel and was introduced to a young actress named Natasha Lyonne. I was immediately impressed by the presence of this 12-year-old star of the future. I had the same feeling with a young Drew Barrymore, but when I worked with her on SNL she was already a big star from E.T. I made a mistake with Drew, though, and I learned a big lesson: Drew came up to me at the show wrap party and I gave her a big hug and picked her up. It's like an update to the classic Extremely Stupid sketch from the original era, crossed with the spirit of Trey Parker and Matt Stone's pleas to not vote. The Pentagon is the setting, and we are greeted with huge applause. So this is the seventh episode and the first since 2018. By design, this is a show that ebbs and flows week-to-week — in terms of hosts, guests, subject matter, even quality — interluding sunrises and sunsets that cast light on pop culture, politics, and world events.

Former "SNL" cast members Maya Rudolph and Fred Armisen joined Natasha Lyonne's monologue admitting a "cosmic connection" to the show.

"So, I got myself a house with a pool out in Los Angeles. So that’s the real scandal." "We love each other just about as much as two people can love each other and we’re still talking all the time, but Freddy doesn’t like a swimming pool. And Rudolph delivered her best attempt while squinting her eyes and making hand gestures while saying "how are ya?

'SNL' Spins Off '9 To 5', Recruits Fred Armisen For Kyle Mooney's ... (Deadline)

'Saturday Night Live' combined '9 to 5' with 'Weekend at Bernie's' for one of Kyle Mooney's final sketches.

Amrisen’s shareholder notices something’s off and decides to investigate whether Lyonne’s character is really dead – by tickling the corpse, of course. All women donning the Grey Adult Pigtails shared how their lives have been different since taking on the new laid-back aesthetic. Still trying to cover up their characters’ secret murder, Strong, Nwodim and Gardner haul Lyonne over to a cocktail station and things get messy. Things get hairy when the shareholders start asking the boss to respond to various questions and request that he make them drinks. Of course, they know that they’re dealing with a dead body after it fails to respond to their repeated tickling. Set as a spinoff to the beloved Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton classic, SNL‘s 9:15 to 5:10 followed what would have happened if three disgruntled women employees – played by Cecily Strong, Ego Nwodim and Heidi Gardner – actually killed their boss Mr. Dooley, played by first-time host Natasha Lyonne. After Gardner’s character, styled like Parton in the 1980 film, shoots the boss on sight, she and her accomplices decide to puppeteer the dead body for a shareholders meeting.

Natasha Lyonne demonstrates a cosmic connection to SNL in its ... (The A.V. Club)

The Russian Doll star supplied comic heft and real poignancy in an episode of goodbyes that will have some verklempt.

Lyonne was great here as someone outside the New York metro (as she was in “Final Encounter”), and the show should’ve given her a chance to stretch more in place of the Nine to Five parody. (But are they ever?) Some have suggested (the very talented) correspondent Sarah Sherman might be a good fit, but I think she works best for the show as an intermittent agent of chaos. She got a little choked up on at the end, and it was poignant when she said “Thanks for letting me stay awhile.” McKinnon’s been a key part of the show for a decade and won two Best Supporting acting Emmys for it (the only cast member to do so). This pitch to the artistic/eccentric elder was precisely observed and landed a number of LOLs. Choice lines: “You never stopped smoking pot—so why should your hair?” and “I look how incense smells.” The sketch was also somewhat of a goodbye showcase for Mooney (nice catch there), who brought SNL an adult-pigtailed misfit energy that was unique and real. Jost and Che are the longest-running anchor team in SNL history, but several uninspired weeks this season (including tonight’s) indicate it may be time for a change. The repeat “Weekend Update” segment “Trend Forecasters” only ranks among the show’s best in a reminder of the reliability and dimension Aidy Bryant brought to the show. Here, he commemorates himself as “white … and became hugely successful despite never showing up to work,” and a symbol for SNL hopefuls as proof “literally anyone can be on that show.” His goodbye leveled some good burns at Fox News and Colin Jost, and was partly a valentine to executive producer Lorne Michaels, who Davidson considers a father figure (and will be producing his upcoming sitcom Bupkis). As the host of “50s Baseball Broadcast” who’s been prescribed meth to quash a cold, Lyonne worked overtime to sell this one—her physicality, energy and delivery made Mikey Day (master of the disbelieving reaction) seem almost snoozy. It’s a good comic setup and structure, always circling back to Rachel Finnster (Lyonne), a never-ending source of trouble, up to and including homicide. The show has mined this dark millennial Borscht Belt territory successfully before (see “Maid of Honor”), and this was equally amusing. Lyonne zinged her current starring role on Netflix’s Russian Doll (“Two things you definitely want to be associated with right now—Russia and Netflix”) and SNL itself (“I love … people who’ve done the same thing since the ‘70s). Bonus points for Armisen (with whom she starred in a sex tape “no one wanted to buy”) and Rudolph showing up to do their impressions of her distinctive voice. It not only ran through her extensive résumé (from Pee-Wee’s Playhouse to the cult favorite But I’m A Cheerleader) but went to revelatory places about her life.

Natasha Lyonne Hosts and Beloved Cast Members Say Goodbye ... (Global)

Natasha Lyonne hosts Saturday Night Live's 47th season finale as four long-time cast members decide to move on. Natasha Lyonne is an SNL Lady Natasha.

Kyle Mooney and Aidy Bryant have broken into their own niche in the mainstream – Kyle more so niche with his acclaimed but unusual film Brigsby Bear and completely off-the-wall series Saturday Morning All Star Hits, and Aidy Bryant is all set after riding the wave of her much beloved Shrill. You can probably keep up with Pete Davidson in the tabloids, as he’s seemed to fully embrace that world. This is huge, as cast changes have been minimal in the past half-decade or so. Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant and Kyle Mooney all have decided to not return for season 48.

'Saturday Night Live': Natasha Lyonne's Best Sketches, Ranked (Collider.com)

There was plenty of fanfare before the show even started. A number of long-time cast members, including Aidy Bryant, Kate McKinnon, Kyle Mooney, and Pete ...

Lyonne also joked about how it’s not the best time to be promoting a Netflix show called Russian Doll, and looks back at her first big starring role as Opal in Pee-Wee’s Playhouse. Despite this desire to fit in, she also had a desire to rebel, a quality that is not only welcomed now, but encouraged and evident in her work. The New York native told Marc Maron on an episode of his podcast that growing up, she was always trying to fit in and had a “hyper critical” and “hyper-analytical” mind that made her self-conscious. She started the production company Animal Pictures with Maya Rudolph and produced everything from the documentary Sirens which made it to Sundance, to Hulu’s rom-com Crush, and Rian Johnson’s upcoming television series Poker Face, the latter of which Lyonne will also star. In this 1950s baseball broadcast, legendary announcer Diz Newsom (Lyonne) gets a bit out of hand when he shows up to announce the Yankees game completely high on his new cold medicine. The return of Ms. Rafferty (McKinnon), the woman with no filter whose alien abduction experiences are always far more disturbing and baffling than the other abductees was met with rapturous applause. Lyonne and Cecily Strong’s characters had beautiful, almost moving experiences from their time on the spaceship, whereas Ms. Rafferty managed to have another confusing and invasive one. But thanks to the help of close friends, including actress and Russian Doll co-star Chloë Sevigny and producing partner Maya Rudolph, she’s managed to not only come out alive but thrive. It is, however, a hilarious parody of ‘80s movies titled 9:15 to 5:10 that follows three bumbling women (Cecily Strong, Heidi Gardner, and Ego Nwodim) who kill their misogynistic boss and attempt to trick his male co-workers (Kyle Mooney and Fred Armisen) into thinking he’s still alive. Not only was this a more prominent part than she was used to, but it was her first time acting alongside big stars such as Julia Roberts, Alan Alda, and Goldie Hawn. That experience was followed by memorable roles in American Pie, Slums of Beverly Hills, and But I’m a Cheerleader, three films with their own cult following. A number of long-time cast members, including Aidy Bryant, Kate McKinnon, Kyle Mooney, and Pete Davidson announced that they would be leaving the show after this season. McKinnon had a sweet and teary send-off when she thanked the crowd in her “Final Encounter” Cold Open, Davidson slid over to Colin Jost at the Weekend Update desk to look back on his time at the show, and Aidy Bryant thanked everyone for a great 10 years while she forecasted trends with Bowen Yang. There were many emotions swirling about for Natasha Lyonne’s host debut, but as expected, she handled her hosting duties like a pro.

'SNL': Natasha Lyonne Reminds Us That Every Stupid Vote Counts ... (Collider.com)

Natasha Lyonne and the SNL cast remind stupid people to vote in a political satire sketch.

Lines in the sketch, such as “vote for a tall man” are comedy gold, but that is sadly many people's thought process when they have no idea what they’re doing with regard to candidates or current political issues. This sketch hilariously tackles that conundrum while reminding us how many of those people have important jobs and how voting plays into the equation. This is when these “stupid people” turn their stories into a voting PSA.
