As usual, this weeks sketches are presented here in order from best to worst.
Essentially a one-person monologue, this open is all McKinnon.
As reporters ask questions, Conans handler (Cecily Strong) translates barks and whimpers into English.
Conan loves his country and belly rubs, and has been drowning in bitches since the raid.
Then Melissa Villasenor comes on with a new character, 5-year-old genius Riley Jenson.
As the song picks back up, Tina defends Ted against her bandmates broadsides.
The players all lend a hand making it work, but its the writing that takes the lead here.
That said, theres only so many ways for them to say get naked.
Even if the sketch is pretty straightforward, the married couple is well-drawn and well-played, too.
Theyve been deliberating so long, the stomach of the foreman (Stewart) begins rumbling.
Other jurors stomachs follow suit, and things get more rhythmic.
Soon, the stomachs are belching the beat to Pony by Ginuwine, and thats that.
Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney just want a little sartorial approval.
No reason Stewart wont be back at some point, though.
