Is ‘Dog Run’ The Worst ‘Saturday Night Live’ Skit In Years As Timothée Chalamet & Cast Play Crude Pooches On The Loose?

Is 'Dog Run' The Worst 'Saturday Night Live' Skit In Years As Timothee Chalamet & Cast Play Pooches On Loose?

There has been a lot to like in this landmark 50th Season of Saturday Night Live, as NBC prepares for a prime time special on the show’s first half century, and documentary episodes unfurl on subjects like how the Will Ferrell-Christopher Walken sketch classic More Cowbell came into being. Sometimes, they’re just way out there, but still funny — remember Headwound Harry, where a woozy Dana Carvey ruins a party by showing up with a serious head wound, laying down and bleeding all over the couch, and when a dog rushes to eat the meat affixed to his head, Carvey opines that “he must smell my dog.” Hilarious. This is not to create a pile on over the show’s quality, which I believe is solid, but I’m curious if Deadline readers can remember a more unfunny and pointless sketch than this one.
