love how they made finn look like one of the duffer brothers
He looks like Sam the producer of Euphoria
The Secret 3rd Duffer Brother
I thought it could have also been Tina Fey with a goatee.
His hair is so Matt Duffer haha
They didn’t
“The Chesty one” is the best way to refer to Sydney Sweeney now, 😂
fr
There is another way too….
I thought that was the only way to refer to Sydney Sweeney.
More like The Trashy One! 😂
"The Nazi one" works too!!
“What is funny about someone getting their butt eat up?” 😂😂
😐 Can we not? 😂
“Ate up.”
Hilarious 😂😂😂
All you guys are funny as shit😂
He's right you know
Pretty sure Chloe didn't know those spit takes were coming 😂
Definitely seemed like she did not 😂
I don't think she did 😂
Should’ve said “can we not?”
😭
when the camera was trying to zoom in past her, she didn't look too happy about it
What’s rue short for? Kangaroo?🤣🤣
Watching this skit as someone who’s never seen Euphoria lol
Then get hbo max
@donnellcoleman7784I have it. I don’t WANT to watch Euphoria.
Ditto!
@Jamie_Jewel It sucks. I watched half the first episode and wanted to drown myself.
Watching this as someone who's never seen Reba or it's spinoff
One of the problems with Euphoria is that it DOESN'T have a writers room
It does but the writers are just sharing their own experiences to a t
@jg2.xscape No, literally every episode is written and directed by Sam Levinson. The only time this wasn't the case is where Hunter Schaffer got a writing credit on that special episode from her POV
I assumed it was a documentary of the actors and they just edit a high school in around it.
So what? Movies are written by one or two people, writers rooms are to get shows out as quickly as possible. Sam can take as long as he likes to write a script
@Pixeleyeswait that's actually it
"Can we not!" 😂😂😂😂
How you got 108 likes in 36 minutes 😂😂
lol
@AaronApolinar-q8m maybe he his bot since they didn't reply😂
Now it makes me want to know if they use that catchphrase on the Reba show.
😂😂😂 I lost it. That and the 1000 emails yall better knock it off 😂😂😂
Honestly the “Marked safe from the volcano” was really funny.
Same I giggled 🤭
i actually laughed very loudly... it was a very line.
Lol the entire cast could move without fear
The blonde guy in this skit is very impressive because he either genuinely memorize most of these lines or improvised them because I can barely see him looking at his cue cards
Crazy how it’s the same guy who does Trump on this show lol James Austin Johnson, definitely a talented dude
Omg I’m glad someone else noticed that too. Like his improv is superb
@MagNOleeuhit’s not improv he just memorized the lines. I can’t believe your vote counts just as much as mine
@timmytimmyturner1. Kewl👍
@timmytimmyturner1it’s really not that deep 😂
The drink just to spit in her face at the end was extra.
Can we not? 😂😂😂
hahaha
Directly lifted from when Julia Louis-Dreyfus did this on SNL ages ago (as a talk show host interviewing two book authors).
@shreddagorge I'm old enough to have seen THAT when it aired live...Mary Gross took it like a champ! 😂😂😂
@dreamquesttvclassic SNL physical humor
Fun to imagine that Finn could stole some mannerisms from the Duffers
He is looking like the third Duffer.
@dmou32fr like he literally has their beard and hairstyle lol
i think he was mocking them 😭
@isabellesversionfr lol
I thought about Paul Lynde
HOW THE HELL DID THIS GET CUT?!?!?
It was a mistake, this one wins over the pop star dad one.
Seriously. This is so fking hilarious
It’s pretty common SNL cuts the best skits. IDK if that’s intentional or what. And can we just recognize the range of JAJ is off the charts!
Once again: Cut for TIME does not mean cut for QUALITY.
Probably because it's longer than the other skits
" Heavy naturals" alone really got me for some reason imao, and i just love when JAJ does a southern accents top notch work.
Yet another line that SNL copied from Almost Friday TV
1:25 they would actually do this in the show😭😭😭
Would love to see it 🤪
That’s totally from Wolf Of Wall Street I could see them entertaining that idea since the show is going into another direction from the previous season they definitely are going to the deep end
she litterally did it in the first epusode of the second season ( she giggles and turn to ethan and says like oh shit i think im dying happen to have narcan and then tells him to pull the adderall out of her sock because itll counteract the heroine she took that is moxing with the coke she is doing that is slwoing her heart rate and mext thing yk she comes back just in time and im pretty sure she does have a flashback as a teen in the hospital to the first time she was on a narcotic given by the medical staff)
It literally did…. But I think with pills..
It’s like Peanuts but for teens
Gen Z Peanuts
Teen nuts
That’s riverdale
"GenZ Peanuts" 😂😂😂
100% accurate description of Euphoria 😁
3:50 “No! Y’all figured out how to do four?!?!” That made me laugh way more than it should’ve 😂
HONESTLY
I had to pause the video it made me laugh so hard haha
James owned this role. He was so good!
The Brady Bunch reference to the idol in Hawaii was perfect.
2:35 seems like a genuine reaction from her😅
100%
where do i sign a petition for more Finn’s skits
fr
He did great
Yo firmó 🔥
i would sign!!
I always knew he was meant for SNL 😂😂
I LOVE when JAJ play non-trump roles!!
He can do no wrong!
I'm getting Phil Hartman vibes.
I really wish they gave him more chances to do Bob Dylan lol
Shut it liberal
@BradiKal61Phil was the best.
6:17 THIS IS FRYING ME 💀
Same. It's something that you know is coming somehow but still slays.
SAME BRO
That was an AMAZING ending. 😂
Finn lookin like the third Duffer Brother
acting like it too
cutting this for time instead of popstar dad is the kind of choice only snl could make.
I didn't hate popstar dad but this one is definitely better
"Ya'll figured out how to do 4!?" Lol
lmfao he looks like the duffer brothers
Can you not?😆
@leftofpunkBut he sooooo doesssss and you know he took inspiration from them 😂😂😂
Pretty sure he is supposed to be Sam Levinson
@browntownbetty im not sure how this contradicts the point though. they all look the same, and that's whats so funny about it... because they write the same too
he's supposed to be Sam Levinson
Imagine Finn thinking “wait, you can write scripts before the show starts filming?”
Thats so foul 😭😭😭
😂😂😂
I know! He nailed the digital sketches when he could memorize his lines because that’s what he’s used to
1:51 he is such a roux
Lorne, if you're reading these -- every week you should identify the sketch or pretape or desk piece most likely to be cut for time ... and make it the cold open. You're consistently leaving the best material on the cutting room floor this season.
At this point it’s embarrassing
finn did so well hosting! hope to see him back on the show in the future
but he didn’t sing
@carina96823yeah…most hosts don’t sing for snl
i hope he gets way more comedy opportunities, his SNL episode was ridiculous
why do i only ever hear the term "heavy naturals" from this show LOL
Because Dropout has a trademark on “sloppy natties”
Because you don't read my blog.
Sidney Sweeney I’d imagine
Running in the wrong crowds of friends lol
I’ve heard it twice on this show and they were referencing Sydney both times.
is finn cosplaying matt duffer
oooo
I would not be surprised if this was his sly way of making a statement on the totally disjointed writing of the last season
You differentiate those two?
@sylph8005this killed me
No he is literally acting as the writer of euphoria 😂 and looks way more like him than the duffers
JAJ letting his Nashville roots SHINE in this sketch. It's like seeing some of my family members on screen
The show Chester Barnhill was proposing sounds much more appealing to watch than actual Euphoria.
2:03 Finn was trying not to laugh so hard
JAJ is crazy talented. He is appreciated but not enough, his timing and mimicry is crazy great.
5:34 absolutely brilliant physical comedy from JAJ 😂
I have never seen that variation on the spit take and it just about killed me, such a great move
I love watching Chloe’s face in the lead up too. She doesn’t brace for the water and appears genuinely surprised.
@jamesz9635 I think the lsat one was improvised.
Hilarious❤
That killed me lol
You can tell by Chloe's reaction that she was not expecting the spit take 😂😂😂 Austin totally got her!!!!
4:13 this is definitely a call back to the stranger things finale! 😂
This is Monday morning live I guess
Monday night for me lols
Can we notttttttttt?
Lol
It’s cut for time chill
😂
Didn't expect to hear Finn Wolfhard saying "Heavy Naturals"😂😂😂
especially about sydney sweeney
@vampistic why especially her?
Hack. Brain rot
@Ainar86probably just cause she's also famous
Chester is like if Jimminy Glick had a love child with Leslie Jordan, I love it.
WOW that is perfect 😂
You = Genius 😂😍
🎯🎯🎯
That's great.
👏👏👏
I feel like the spit take spray was not rehearsed. 😅
5:58 i can’t Finn is actually so cute
Foreallll
Can we nawt 😅
He doesn’t know you
@Lol-bt6vs all they said was that he’s cute 💀
How was this not higher in the set!!!! This wouldve been best of the night! James needs more screen time!!
Finn you finally have facial hair!
lol
Maybe one day in his mid thirties😂. For now he’s rockin a baby face.
✨He’s a man now✨
He had facial hair a few months ago when he shaved his hair in June
@kerrissedai6857 he's had it a few times
Can we get more of the “can we not” character lol he funny asf 😂😂😂
Yeah, I LOL’d, which is not something I do often when watching SNL.
Id take him any day over Damingo
This skit is better than EVERY OTHER CLIP THEY AIRED two days ago. What are they thinking at SNL??
I've watched this sketch 5 or 6 times & can't stop laughing. It's my favorite sketch in forever. I love the happy ending, spit takes, & rule of threes used perfectly.
5:51 LOL "And a funny fat eats a whole pig" said so wholesomely.
😭
This skit was super well written and acted out. Very funny!
Saturday night live video on a Monday morning...love that.
It's even ironically already Tuesday midnight on the other side of the world 🫠
they upload cut sketches on yet all the time
Way to be appreciative…
I’ve watched this about 33 times now
Is This Monday Morning Live? & Finn is Hilarious 😂 2:26
Chester is the best character in 10 years.
"Heavy naturals" lol
How dare RUclips hide this from me for 1 minute
exactly this is a crime
😂
It hid it from me for 20
laver0099girl how am I a bot 💔😭✌️
Holy bot bro
Facial hair looks good on him
Her heavy naturals 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sounds like Roger the alien from American Dad.
lol, maybe he’s that character but in disguise again
@OPUPW reference
“Shit, it’s Roger isn’t it?”
Heavy naturals 😂
Finn looks like a Conquistador
💯
I’m crying
LMFAOO
Why?
2:33 😂😂😂😂😂😂 "OMG" 😂 SHE WAS WAITING FOR THE DIRECTOR TO SAY CUT but its LIVE BABY 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wait this one of the funniest SNL weeks I’ve seen in a minute 😭😭
I don’t think Chloe was expecting those sprays 😂
I hope they have a skit with her getting him back some day 😂
@LeahMarieWipfdefinitely!😂
Seeing mike wheeler say heavy naturals is very funny
Proving once again that any of the cut for time sketches that didn’t make the actual live broadcast are better than a lot of the ones that do lol
wait THIS was cut? i rarely watch a full episode because it's rarely this good. only saw this one because it was recommended
I love these Finn Wolfhard saga of sketches so much
Ok jokes aside Finn ROCKS that hairstyle!
I love finn hosting this week!!
Yess
Sameee
0:40 😂😂😂😂 he is SNL gold
TRULYYY
😂
I am not from America so i don't really know how this works, all i know is that the skits use to be live, and this was not in the program. Are there still audience there?
Can we not 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Dude went straight for Zach Galifianakis from The Campain 🤣
James Austin Johnson is officially the new anchor of SNL
Imagine being spit on that many times and then cut from the broadcast.
03:10 “and zendaya’s the only one who read MOBY DICK” - this is funny on so many levels
Why
A reference to Zelig?
How?
can we not!? lmaoooooooo
This sketch is hilarious and yet even funnier than first watch. Chester is phenomenal and one of his best characters ever. Definitely needs to be a more frequently appearing character in different scenarios. The chesty You're such a perfect phrase from his character cuz it's such an old school descriptor. 😂And Finn's "heavy naturals" 😂😂
THIS IS SO SO SO SO SO GOOD
Jack McBrayer as a tv writer
Morre like Leslie Jordan RIP
why are their best sketches always cut for time
I think this would have been the longest skit of the night. They probably legit ran out of time and cut it due to actually not having enough time.
4:54 lol Hawaii, idol… the Brady Bunch 😂
Yes! Can we please have more Christmas Candy and "Can we not?"
Long time no see that kind of an acting quality in any of those sketches..James Austin Johnson keep it up pleeeeeease!
Finn looks like Kieran culkin
Chloe's so good at keeping a straight face during skits, but man, that spray was seeping into the cracks.
Is she? LMAO
no shes not LOL she breaks character constantly
i didn’t even realize that was finn..
How did this get cut? This is the good stuff!
When he spits out the drink on her 😂😂😂😂😂 and she is like "OMG" totally unscripted 😂😂😂 gold
It's so refreshing to see Finn in these skits than seeing as Mike all the time
This guy is pitching a show I would like to watch
Of all the sketches they didn’t have time for
Well Jane wickline is in it so I can see why it got cut😮
2:51 How did Finn kept a straight face
He didn’t 😂
he is a pro
he's heard worse in the stranger things writers' room
2:46 No one. That's the answer to that question.
James Austin Johnson could win an Oscar some day I swear to god
I was just thinking that!
He not that funny 😒
In my opinion and there are plenty of examples to back it up, I think comedy is harder so i think any good comedic actor can do drama.
@donnellcoleman7784 when you juxtapose this character versus his Trump portrayal... Very few people have this kind of range
Okay hater
I do love a lemon luna bar
I totally OD on them. I can't eat them anymore. 😢
Boy oh boy do I savor a lemon luna bar
Finn looks so much like his dad in this
Finn should be a regular on the show. He's made for this lol
James is really talented
James is a sketch comedy beast 🤌 never misses
