It was also very topical.

That's because the first part could easily be the climactic monologue in a courtroom drama. Adam Driver is just that committed to acting.

@@canaisyoung3601 Yeah. That guy may be one of the most talented actors to ever grace the screen and SNL.

Not rare nowadays, it has always been a rare talent.

Yes agreed! Adam and Pedro are immensely talented that their presentation fits so naturally in sketch comedy. It's truly an alluring combination. Also, pretty awesome that they are both Star Wars actors

And Dave Chappelle

Agree on pedro. I could watch him every week.

what would've been so unexpected is having both Driver and Pedro in a sketch together

I agree- total respect to those hosts who actually learn their lines! (btw Adam Driver will get an Oscar one day, you heard it here). But, as someone who has been watching SNL since 1975, I remember the original vibe - It was one where the show was kinda slapped together and it was “whatever happens, happens”- It was *live* and totally unpredictable-which was refreshing because everything on TV up until that point was so polished, so rehearsed (look up “variety shows” or better yet “Lawrence Welk”) . SNL was different- a breath of fresh air, an antithesis to the establishment, the norm. So that is the reason I don’t mind when the host is reading off the cue cards. It reminds me of the original subversive counter-culture spirit of SNL.

@@ruffysmom1850Adam Driver deserves an Oscar just for the beginning of this skit

@@portax I don't believe Oscars are awarded for performances on live TV.

So true. AND he's hot af 😲

GUESTS who read cue cards??!?!?! How about basically the entire regular crew?????!

I actually started to tear up towards the end, I was completely engrossed in his performance

It reminds me of old school SNL, where they weren't afraid to get a bit dramatic. It makes the eventual laugh much more relieving.

Then you are weird ​@@Solalola11

he gives 110% for every skit and is seemingly down for anything

-- for the first minute, you could have told me it was up for an Academy Award...Had to do a double take and make sure it was for SNL.

His talent is uncontested

STUPID

​@@hotsaucejunior4HOW DO YOU KNOW?...SHUT UP

The guy commits and he is not doing anything else.

A true pro very natural with comedy.

Were you watching the same sh*t sketch I was? Kenan was a better actor than Adam in this

@@vinny5004 No, we all saw a different skit from the same upload. Jeez ...

Yeah, Adam Driver is pretty great at that acting stuff. 🙂

Did we watch the same video?

Yup, Adam Driver is a great actor. I have laughed with every one of his sketches in SNL I especially remember the: “Aw man, I am all out of cash”. 🤣

I thought he was a fake actor 🙄

I think he actually kicks puppies through field goal post on his off days he's currently waiting to get his soft shoe design patent approved

He only plays one on tv

You have NO idea...

Marines never fool around!!!

I’m seriously so glad he’s on here. It makes me so happy.

He plays EVERY character this way, and has been for his entire run on SNL. The guy has zero range.

​@eyespy3001 Clearly, a lot of people think Kennan is funny, so you might just be one of the few who doesn't like him

@@Extremely_Shawol Never said he wasn’t funny, my friend. He just doesn’t have range. Sometimes that one-note performance really works, and sometimes it’s like, “really? _that_ again…”

Holding back? Every single time I see him in a sketch, he's not holding back. He's smiling, all the time. EVERY SINGLE SKETCH. He's horrible.

...:)...Yep, Something about that FACE he always Makes, is Aways Funny...!!!.....lol.....:)

Love him so much.

Yup!! Same here!! 👍🏼👍🏼

Came here to say that!😅 😊

His bad timing sure killed the joke about the short juror deliberations, though.

😂😂😂

I wish he was my dad. Or a friend I could go bowling with

He did broadway once

@@Fireinherveinzz he sure did

Dad snuggles all night long@@rillest75

@@rillest75 He is your dad, just ask your mom.

Yes! Why hasn't that happened yet?

Co-starring with an ensemble cast?? "Logan Lucky"

“This is where I leave you.”

Logan Lucky. His prosthetic arm gets vacuumed off during a bank heist. It’s amazing. And he’s hilarious. Oh also he’s a one handed bartender and Adam actually learned to mix drinks only using one hand. Def worth a watch.

I would love to help create THAT!! I have over 1700 original jokes/comedy scenes and I get lot's of comedy inspiration and I have over 400 original catchy songs & tons of original philosophy. I can make any entertainment production more entertaining!

Trueeee!

You kids definitely have sh-t taste lol

We want Pete The Meat

I didn't get it, what am I missing?

@@grumbles There was a salmonella outbreak on pre-cut cantaloupes recently, resulted in 8 fatalities across the US and Canada so far.

Caught that too. Very on point and topical. Loved Keenan's throwaway joke there

That cantaloupe deserves an Emmy.

@@JamieMurphy25 Not only do I know the context of the joke, I also now know to avoid buying sliced cantaloupe - you're a real one in these comments

This is current SNL

​@@dr.loomis4221Yeah we know.

​@@dr.loomis4221Have you never heard the saying "old school".

I agree, it does feel kind of like one of the sketches from years back, when they weren't hesitant to do a little drama to establish the story.

Good comparison!

Yeah, his timing was off. Other than that, the characters he did Saturday night were well-played.

I was looking for this comment! 😅

The case was too slow coming back

Let's do it! My breakfast table or yours? 😉

He needs a good recurring character like Walken had with "The Continental"

Definitely a great actor with awesome comedic timing. One of the best hosts for sure

Cow Bell Spin off called Cat Bell...

Adam Driver is Adam Driver

And he never murdered anybody

🧢

I would like to see him do a Dave Grol skit next time.

@@jerrimenard3092YEEEES. Or both in one sketch.

It's actually about the reaction the dress rehearsal crowd provides. They're not really laughing, especially at the begining (that was way too long for a Sketch comedy in the SNL format. It would have worked for more like UK style entertainment where the skits used to be longer) but yeah, he kicked fucking ass in this sketch regardless

​@buckycore, to be fair, the punchline didn't come till 2 minutes in

Was better than some of the stuff that made it.

Buck Henry would have LOVED this sketch.

@@buckycore SNL sketches used to be this long.

Not to mention someone who can kick a dog 50 yards and hit a pillow needs to be in the nfl.

There are no good pillow salesmen😏

Where did he go?

Was thinking the same thing.

Yup!

Had the same thought. The unorthodox pacing and slow burn start just screams 10-to-1 energy.
