      I'm surprised ppl feel so strongly about this. I've never watched SNL and don't follow a lot of the actors, so I'm glad for the narration actually. Never seen these clips before, and didn't know all of the actors names or the context (like Jimmy Fallon misreading the cue cards, I'm not sure how ppl would have known that without the narration)

    I think the whole Dr. Beaman sketch was actually on accident. I recall reading something online saying that either the musical guest wasn't ready, or there was some sort of problem with another sketch, so they just kind of threw a couple cast members on stage to improve, so there wouldn't be any dead air. Go back and watch that sketch, it's pretty obvious that nobody has any idea where it's going, which also accounts for the awkward ending. I mean, don't get me wrong, it was funny...
