On the second day of Passover, halfway through Ramadan, the second night of Coachella’s first weekend, and just hours before Easter Sunday, Saturday Night Live kicked off tonight with the Easter Bunny himself, a very timely overeager hipster reference and yet another bloated political cameo skit.
Does nobody think to edit these cold openings? They just get fatter, longer and go nowhere.
“It’s really me the Easter Bunny,” said Bowen Yang in a full furry costume. “Either that, or you’re at Coachella and the ‘shrooms are kicking in,” the often perfectly placed cast member added surrounded by an unfortunate department store quality set designed to moan “warm Halloween.”
“Remember, the spirit of Easter is not about candy, or eggs or even bunnies, ” Yang quipped of the notion of the creature overseeing the watered-down pagan Spring festival that contemporary Easter is for many. “It’s about renewal and rebirth” he went on to state, skipping over the obvious Christian connection with a semi-secular soft shoe. That’s why I invited folks from all walks of life to share their hopes for this Easter season.
And that’s when Covid czar Dr. Anthony “still here” Fauci (SNL MVP Kate McKinnon), a chocolate rifle holding GOP goofball Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Cecily Strong), NYC Mayor Eric Adams (Chris Redd), ever shifting Twitter shareholder and declared Easter buyer Elon Musk (Mikey Day), a needlessly mocked Britney Spears (Chloe Fineman), self described Jesus stand-in Jared Leto (Kyle Mooney), and back again Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson).
