Saturday Night Live Episode Review: Russell Crowe Hits off as Host, Hilary Mocked for Subway Fiasco
Oscar Award winner Russell Crowe was on SNL, and his antics have made everyone a fan. Looks like the actor can try his hand at comedy, given the ease with which he handled the show and slipped into the mold of a comedy show host.
Some critics say that the episode was just average and Russell did not rock at all. And this act is really not going to help his upcoming film "The Nice Guys".
Among others, SNL repeated its act of poking fun at Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for her New York love and subway troubles.
Kate McKinnon imitated the Secretary of State with her trademark wild-eyed demeanor, so visible during campaigns. Taking a dig at her recent primary and caucus losses, Kate said that it was basically the plan which seemed very much like her real-life stance and did not elicit much humor at all.
Hillary's subway troubles also featured in a major way and this was quite a kickass. Kate is seen praising the subway transport as she enters the station, but immediately smashes into the gate when her swipe card does not work. Baffled, she decides to take the cab.
It is worth mentioning here that the senator has been in the news for running into subway troubles. According to reports, she has also joked about it and is reported to have talked to the mayor on the issue. She requested him to fix the metro card slots as they do not work. She had to take five swipes before calling the cab.
Apart from Hillary's sketch, Kate also made an appearance as Deena, as "Somebody's Mom" mimicking People V O.J. Simpson finale and this was the best part she played. But Michael Che and Colin Jost turned out to be show stealers as they made fun of women not getting sports and humans riding horses for the race.
