Saturday Night Live Recap: Mikey Madison Puts in an Honest Effort
Mikey Madison is out of her element, but it doesn’t stop her or the cast from putting on a fun, light episode.
A teaser for this episode showed Sarah Sherman pitching an “ Anora Fedora,” to which Madison, through bared teeth and a radiant smile, replies, “You guys will have other ideas, right?” Devastating and charming. To her credit, she was committed to the characters she played throughout the night, which ran the gamut: a cold open appearance as a teenager accidentally in that Pete Hegseth group chat, a girl who tried to cannonball into a pool off a balcony and misses, a star student in Marcello Hernandez’s acting class, a mob wife, Barry the midwife’s nemesis, to rattle off a few. Devon Walker ribbing Michael Che about not being at work and incorporating the Ashton Hall parody as pre-tapes within the segment made Weekend Update feel more dynamic.
