“Saturday Night Live” Cold open riffs in warm weather Return of the “Freaks, Crazies and Weirdos” to Central Park

Saturday night live became apolitical about the open cold, instead of roaring about the return of warm weather to New York – something that also means the return of all “freaks, weirdos, and malatics” to Central Park.

Take a break from Trump, Biden and Fox News, SNL instead chose a satire about the most annoying New Yorkers to be found in the park when the temperature rises: the older man who aggressively powerwalks, the pervert with binoculars, the woman who learns to skate, the park employees who get high at the work, the lady on her phone out loud trying to explain to someone where she is, the grown man with a drone, and the man with a clipboard “who wants to know if you have a moment for a good cause. ” And there’s a crazy man with a microphone, along with a woman who will “debate the nonsense I’m shouting as if I were a sane man whose species could be changed.”

The segment actually allowed the show to feature more members of the show SNL Cast as befits an opener, with Bowen Yang and Heidi Gardner as red carpet correspondents introducing the cast of troublesome characters as an “arrival show on the first warm day of the year.”

“Here in New York City, temperatures hit 90 degrees this week, two full months ahead of schedule,” Gardner said. “And while it may be terrifying on a climatic level, the warm weather can only mean one thing: all the freaks, weirdos, and crazies are heading to Central Park. And we’re expecting to see some famous park people today.”

“The atmosphere here is electric,” says Yang. “The smell of halal food and horse manure is in the air.”

He then introduces the older man doing the power walk (Mikey Day), who says he’s “wearing the tightest spandex shirt ever, shorts and a weird heart rate monitor on my arm.” Then the man gives a taste of his walk and what he says along the way: “Behind you, behind you, behind you, left behind. Behind you. And there it is.”

Later in the sketch, Gardner introduces the “crazy man with a microphone,” played by Kenan Thompson, who is shown arguing with a woman. “I got herpes from 5G!” he called. “That’s not possible!” she shouted back.

The last annoying person was “rich woman and child,” with Chloe Fineman, in a designer outfit and carrying an expensive handbag, explaining that she takes her son Riley to the playground, “where I freak out the minute I take her out of the lost eyes”. him even for a second.” Of course, seconds later, Riley was gone. “Riley. Riley!”

Considering it was really unseasonably warm weather in NYC this weekend, this Is it’s going to be a long spring and summer in the park.

There is more to come.
