The Handmaid ’s Tale bros , a Shatner - esque Captain Kirk , and a pitch - perfect recreation of Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego — I mean Kellyanne Conway — made Chris Pine ’s Saturday Night Live debut one of the show ’s finest this season .
Pine come out on SNL over the weekend as a spectacle of vocalizing and saltation , starting with a Song dynasty set to Billy Joel ’s “ Uptown little girl ” reminding the crowd that he ’s not Chris Pratt from Guardians of the Galaxy or Captain America ’s Chris Evans ( Leslie Joneslater shared a selfiecalling him Thor , seriously there are way too many dudes named Chris ) . He ’s not the best singer , but he hold himself with so much self-confidence and exuberance , it honestly does n’t matter .
This was later followed with several sketches that seemed tailor - made for modern scifi or fantasy fans . “ Star Trek Lost Episode ” featured Pine impersonating his Star Trek precursor , William Shatner , while also dancing to a vocal about pizza surfing . Also , there was a particular shout - out to Kenan Thompson ’s Neil deGrasse Tyson , which was bubbling with adorableness .
Then , you got SNL ’s take on The Handmaid ’s Tale , which was amazingly smart than I thought it was going to be . I envision it would plainly be a joke that Trump ’s America is Gilead , but that never come into the picture . It instead mocked men who feign ignorance as cleaning lady ’s right are take on aside because it does n’t touch on them . Could it have been better ? Sure , but as is , I care their take .
And finally , there was “ Where In The World Is Kellyanne Conway , ” which left me in stitch from beginning to terminate . Sasheer Zamata nail down Lynne Thigpen as The Chief , and the whole thing lend me back to watching the show as a tyke . The sets , the acapella , the kids ’ stupid intro about meeting lizard . And I love how it ended before thing began , with the kids saying they did n’t need to come up Kellyanne Conway — because , let ’s be honest , who does . I emphatically commend checking out the intact instalment , because it was a good one .
