Aidy Bryant’s description of the late-night comedy’s on and off-screen environment is interesting, as it would seem the cast was able to channel the grim circumstances around them in order to produce immensely funny material.
Going for all the way with silliness and goofiness, while skewering today’s culture, is true to the SNL brand, so that does make sense.
Of course, there’s more here.
This situation is a keen reminder that even though stars like Bryant, Kenan Thompson, Kate McKinnon and Pete Davidson are working hard to entertain us, they’re still feeling the weight of the world’s current situation just as much as we are.
